This book describes and illustrates plant species which are major weeds in Australia. For most weeds there are notes on the geographic origin of the species, a description and illustration, and details of distribution. An illustrated glossary of the botanical terms used and a comprehensive index of scientific and common names are provided. The authors have used a minimum of technical terms and included many photographs and line drawings so that the book can be used by primary producers, students, agricultural advisers and research workers.
