Flowering Plants of New Zealand

A reference for anyone who wants to appreciate New Zealand native and introduced plants. The book treats 52 important families of flowering plants with an informative text and colour illustrations. Plants and flowers are the most important part of the world around us. They dominate the earth's vegetation, and provide most of the essentials for human life. The flowers themselves are a key to recognizing the diverse families which have evolved independently, each with its own properties, uses and appeal. The book covers all major New Zealand flowering plant families, and provides information on pollination, ecology and classification.
