A Field Guide to Banksias

A Field Guide To Banksias is a comprehensive guide to one of Australia's best known and most attractive genus of native plants.

Named after Sir Joseph Banks, 'the father of Australian botany', these spectacular plants range from coast to coast across the whole of southern Australia. Although differing greatly in size, shape and habitat, all 75 species share a common beauty in their brilliant and distinctive blooms. Their flowers are also powerful lures to many different kinds of nectar-feeding birds.

Specially designed so readers can make a quick identification out in the bush, each species is comprehensively yet succinctly described with an authoritative text and illustrated with carefully-chosen colour photographs.
