Many people have been involved in the production of this book which was originally conceived by Paul Donatiu. The text for the final publication was prepared predominantly by Glenn and Jenny Holmes, with the assistance of Tony Bean, Bill MacDonald and Mike Mathieson. The species descriptions are based on extensive field research by Glenn and Jenny Holmes. A new species was discovered and described during the research, Homoranthus inopinatus L. Copeland, J. Holmes & G. Holmes. Queensland Herbarium data has been incorporated throughout (acknowledge: G. Guymer and P. Bostock).
