Publisher's Synopsis
The publication of volumes 3 & 4 completes the three-volume Dicotyledons section of the landmark UNSW Press series, Horticultural Flora of South-eastern Australia. Each volume includes 16 colour plates and is extensively illustrated with black and white line drawings (in the same manner that Volumes 1 and 2 were illustrated). The volumes include keys to families and commonly grown species. Volume 4 covers the 39 Dicotyledon families not already covered in volumes 2 and 3, including the Rutaceae (oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, boronias, etcetera), Geraniaceae (geraniums and pelargoniums), Solanaceae (tomatoes, potatoes, capsicums, eggplants, deadly nightshade), Lamiaceae (lavender, basil, oregano, marjoram, mint, rosemary, thyme), and Asteraceae (daisies, camomile, lettuce).
