Grassland plants of south-eastern Australia By Neil and Jane Marriott Published in 1998 by Bloomings Books, colour, soft cover, 183 pages ISBN 1876473002 OUT OF PRINT (reprint being considered)

Grasslands and grassy woodlands comprise the most depleted ecosystems in south-eastern Australia with only 1% of the original habitat remaining and even less protected in reserves. Growing interest in these rare grassland communities stems from the knowledge that identification and protection of remnants are urgent priorities.

This comprehensive field guide will enable landowners, naturalists and others to identify plants commonly found in grasslands and grassy woodlands, for the whole of the south-east of Australia, including Tasmania.

'This excellent book guides readers to a better understanding of the importance and composition of the endangered lowland and grassy woodlands of south-eastern Australia.' Rodger Elliot
