It reviews the history of plant exploration in Australia, with concise biographies of the major collectors and describers of Australian plants; places Australian flora in context by examining the present environment and reviewing past geological and climatological events; examines the fossil history, communities, and evolution and biogeography of Australian plants; and details interactions between humans and the flora, from early medicinal and artistic uses to current efforts to protect and conserve the plants. Includes a glossary of botanical terms and a key to families of Australian flowering plants. Contains 26 pages of color photographs as well as maps and graphs.
