A popular reference for everyone wanting to appreciate New Zealand plants. Fifty-two important families of flowering plants are treated with an informative text and superb colour illustrations. Plants with 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 recognising the diverse families which have evolved independently, each with its own properties, uses, and appeal.
