Description

Around Australia's highest mountain lies a rare ecosystem, an alpine area of outstanding beauty and diversity, strikingly different from other alpine ecosystems of the world but with common features. Kosciuszko Alpine Flora describes and illustrates the area’s 212 flowering plants and ferns, of which 21 are endemic.

It discusses the geological and human history of the area, the life-forms and habitats of the plants, and explores the various plant communities and their environmental relationships.

The book contains identification keys, detailed descriptions, and distribution and habitat notes for each species.

Superb colour photographs show details of flowers, fruit, foliage, and ecology. Finalist Scholarly Reference section - The Australian Awards for Excellence in Educational Publishing 2001
