Wild Flowers of Australia

by Thistle Y. Harris

Illustrated by Adam Forster

Angus and Robertson, 1958, colour illustrated reproduction plates, hardcover

Very Good Condition, a little edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, no inscriptions, age toned pages (see photographs)

“The book is divided into two parts: Part I, containing the coloured plates, is a non-technical description of each plant.  This is for quick and easy reference.  Part II contains more precises and technical descriptions with botanical keys.  The field botanist is advised to use these keys for purposes of identification, and to verify the identification by reference to the coloured figure and the more general description in Part I.”
