This is a great resource for New Zealanders with:
- Sections on trees and shrubs; vines, epiphytes and mistletoes; and the forest floor - grasses, herbs, orchids, ferns, mosses and fungi.
- Sections on birds, lizards, frogs, bats and insects.
- Good photos to help with identification of not just plants, but also birds, insects, lizards.
- Excellent plant leaf identification charts in the front.
- Different sections easily accessed with pages colour coded.
- Historical notes on New Zealand's flora and fauna.
Published By Godwit in 2000 and available at bookstores or through the NZ Natural History and Science Bookstore RRP $45
