A

cacias are a conspicuous and important component of Australia’s natural vegetation. Realizing the difficulty of identifying the large number of species, Terry Tame has collated many years of notes, drawings and photographs in an up-to-date reference designed to aid. others with this complex group of plants. All currently recognized species of Acacia in NSW and Victoria are described and illustrated with detailed line drawings and over 220 stunning photographs.

Entry descriptions include information on distribution, habitat, derivation of the botanical name, and where the original specimen was collected and by whom. A detailed botanical key, and a pictorial key to the major groups have been included to aid in identification.

Nature lovers, field workers, nurserymen and naturalists, as well as those in botanical and ecological fields will find this work an essential reference. Native gardeners will also find this book a useful guide in their cultivation of acacias.
