A colour coded field guide with over 400 photographs of Western Australian Wildflowers including locations.

This conveniently sized field guide contains vivid colour photographs of 230 of the wildflowers which grow within 75km of Hyden, including Wave Rock, to help identify and name them, and describes another 100 or so that are similar. There is always some native plant in flower, even in summer, so this book describes wildflowers that might be seen any time you are in or around Hyden. This book is designed for those with no knowledge of botany, tourists and locals alike, but who have a curiosity and love of beautiful wildflowers. This book groups the wildflowers by colour rather than by family or genus. Wildflowers of the same colour and similar shape are grouped together, and the key features of each plant are described in simple, clear, non-technical terms. Each plant in the book is given both a common name and a scientific name. The common name is often related to the scientific name, and usually helps to identify the plant.There are two maps showing the places named in the book. Flora roads, where good wildflower displays can be found right along the roadside, are marked on the maps. In addition, places where the wildflowers featured in the book have been found is indicated in a small map alongside the plant, with the names of the nearest places at the edges of the plant's distribution.

"This book, while of necessity omitting many of the hundreds of Western Australia's flowering plants, presents a broad pictorial record of the main groups and a glimpse of those unique plants which have few parallels anywhere."--Publisher's description.

The colour photographs in this handbook will help you to identify 304 species of plants, many of which grow throughout the southwest of Western Australia. These plants all occur along the Cape to Cape Track and other parts of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. To help you locate these flowers there are hints about locations and flowering times. The arrangement of the flowers is by colour for easy reference, and a clear, concise description accompanies each one. Close-ups of flowers enhance many of the photographs of larger plants. An essential wildflower guide for the southwest region.

Designed for quick and easy species identification of southwestern Australian flora, this guide focuses wherever possible on visible rather than microscopic features of plants, and includes drawings of most species. Part II of five volumes, this is the latest revision of a work originally published
