Perth Plants provides a comprehensive photographic guide to all plants known to occur in the bush lands of Kings Park and Bold Park. There are 778 species included, both endemic and introduced, representing approximately one quarter of all the plants in the greater Perth region, and one-tenth of all species known for the south-west of Western Australia.
This greatly expanded second edition of this field guide contains information on additional species and updated photography throughout. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the plants of south-west Western Australia, and particularly the Swan Coastal Plain.
