“Volume 1: Simplicity is the keynote of this comprehensive guide to the most commonly found and widely distributed Australian wildflowers.  The total of 384 plants illustrated and described in the book were chosen form Margaret Hodgson’s collection of more than 1,000 different specimens because they may be found by the nature lover without great difficulty.  They grow in areas which are reasonably easy of access and in such places as picnic areas, National Parks, and along roadsides. They include both natives and exotics.
Volume 2: Simplicity is again the keynote of this second volume on Australian wildflowers to supplement its companion Volume I.  This is a comprehensive guide to the most commonly found and widely distributed wildflowers.  The total of more than 350 plants illustrated and described here are additional ones form Margaret Hodgson’s splendid collection, and were chosen because they may be found by the nature lover without difficulty.”
