Name That Flower: The Identification of Flowering Plants

Profusely illustrated with over 130 detailed line drawings and eight pages of colour plates, ‘Name That Flower’ contains a comprehensive chapter on floral structure, and introductions to the arrangement of flowers on plants, reproduction, plant structure and function, and the way plants are grouped and named. The authors describe how to apply this information to the identification of flowering plants and how to use the appropriate reference books. The final chapter deals with common plant families that are widespread in Australia, with illustrated examples of plants common in cultivation or in the wild.
