This is the first book at a popular price to classify Australian trees according to environment, from snow country to desert country. Every species of tree is illustrated with colour photographs and with sketches of leaves, flowers, seedpods, etc., to aid easy recognition, and is completely described in non-scientific terms.
The book includes indexes of both common names and botanical names for easy reference. It is a handy guide for farmers and graziers in most parts of Australia, because it shows what types of trees are most likely to flourish in their area when planted for windbreaks, soil conservation, or drainage purposes. In addition, because it gives the blossoming periods of all trees which are attractive to bees, it is invaluable for beekeepers.
The book will be a welcome gift for the amateur naturalist, and a useful quick reference work for botanists, conservationists, and everyone interested in the natural heritage of Australia.
