Wildflowers of western Australia

The wildflowers of Western Australia have been a subject of interest to botanists since the time of Captain Cook, and Gardner’s book provides a history of his study of these plants. The region’s flora is known for its coloUr and diversity, with around 7,000 species. The book is written in a simple style for the general public. It is a popular choice for collectors and enthusiasts interested in Australian and oceanic flora.
