Weeds of the South-East is a comprehensive identification guide to weeds found in the South-East region of Australia, covering the whole of Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, the southern half of New South Wales, and the south-eastern section of South Australia.

This fourth edition has been thoroughly updated to include recent changes in nomenclature, bringing all species and genus names in line with the current Australian Plant Census.

Beautifully illustrated, this is a detailed guide for anyone interested in the identification of pest plants and the preservation of our native flora.

It is an essential tool for community land and bushcare organisations, local and state government weed officers and advisers, rangers, agronomists, agriculturists, survey and identification botanists, horticulturists, landscapers, and gardeners.
