Plants of the Victorian High Country

Plants of the Victorian High Country allows walkers with little botanical knowledge to identify plants they are likely to encounter along the popular tracks of Victoria's high country. Describes 133 plants from the montane, sub-alpine and alpine zones, categorising them into five groups: herbs, daisy herbs, low woody shrubs, tall shrubs and trees, and eucalypts. Features a glossary of botanical terms, straightforward identification keys, clear photos of the leaves, flowers and stems of the plant and notes on Aboriginal plant usage. 154 pages, paperback. John Murphy and Bill Dowling.
