New Zealand's flora is among the most remarkable in the world. Plant Heritage New Zealand looks at the unique characteristics of New Zealand's plants, and what makes them so special. It delves into the origins and evolution of the plants, how they have inspired songs, poems and works of art, Maori myths, stories and proverbs associated with them, and their many uses as a natural resource. Part 2 presents a selection of the plants and looks at classification, names, botanical description, traditional and modern uses, cultural heritage and significance to Maori. Tony Foster's stunning photos highlight the beauty of the plants, as well as helping with identification.

In this work, Georgina Burne Hetley attempted to capture the beauty and scientific details of New Zealand's flora. It presents accounts of her journey around New Zealand to acquire live specimens. She collected plants from the North Island and traveled to the South Island to collect samples from Nelson, Greymouth, and Arthur's Pass. Hetley spent a few weeks in Christchurch, sketching the plants in their botanical gardens, which came from places she could not travel to.
