This is a useful book not only for the plants it covers in detail, but also for its illustration of cultivation considerations that is transferrable to other plants in other regions. It also captures the zeitgeist under which Australian native plants are now operating. Throughout the book, references are made to working in partnerships with Aboriginal stakeholders... it seems much more likely that under this relatively new approach the diversity of applications of Australian natural plants will flourish. -- Susanne Masters, Bournemouth UK This is a useful book not only for the plants it covers in detail, but also for its illustration of cultivation considerations that is transferrable to other plants in other regions.
