Description
Australian Rainforest Fruits is a beautifully illustrated field guide that covers 504 of the most common fruiting plants found in Australia's eastern rainforests. It also includes a few species that are rare in the wild but generally well-known. These spectacular plants can be seen from Cape York to Victoria, with some species also found in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, and overseas.
Rainforest fruits are often beautifully coloured. In this guide, the species are arranged by the colour of ripe fruit, then by size and form. The book uses five broad categories: pink to purple, blue to black, yellow and orange to red, green to brown, and white. This categorisation allows people with even limited botanical knowledge to identify rainforest fruits.
