This book has been reprinted numerous times and has become a classic guide. This 3rd revised edition includes four additional species, and both text and pictures of many others have been updated. The book covers more than 400 species, representing some 80 different genera. Better known groups like acacias and eucalypts are well represented, but a special effort has been made to include a large number of species from Australia’s diverse rainforests. Each entry includes notes on distribution, habitat, commercial use and horticulture, and a description of the tree’s key botanical features. Illustrated with over 150 colour photographs and numerous line drawings.
