Add to basketSecond edition (the same as the first in 1986 by A&R, just slightly larger in format). Hardcover. Thick quarto-size (approximately 1100 pages). Very good in very good dustjacket (and becoming scarce in this condition). A massive reference with good descriptions and b/w sketches of the plants, both by the author. Frances (Fran) B…odkin, born in 1937, is an Australian botanist and D'harawal elder who helped establish the Australian Botanic Garden at Mount Annan, near Sydney, at a former meeting site of the local Indigenous people. This fine encyclopaedia used to be reasonably common, but is now becoming scarce, simply because of demand and the fact that it doesn't seem to have been reprinted later than the early 1990s. A heavy book which will cost considerably more to send overseas, than any default postage rate noted (2 or 3 times as much). Australian postage will be $15.
