Horticultural Flora Of South-Eastern Australia: Monocotyledons: V. 5: Flowering Plants - Monocotyledons

This is the fifth and final volume of the Horticultural Flora of South-eastern Australia . The series gives gardeners, horticulturists, landscape designers, park managers, students and botanists the means to identify garden plants, and provides detailed information on their botany and cultivation. Like the previous four volumes, Volume 5 is written to be accessible to non-specialists with the key aim of facilitating the identification of native and exotic garden plants, with very minimal use of technical terms. The book's features include: illustrations of important and distinguishing characteristics of different species; colour plates of representatives types; easy-to-use identification keys; detailed descriptions of families of plants, as well as species and cultivars, including notes on recognition; a comprehensive inventory of readily available garden plants; authoritative listing of botanical and horticultural names, including cultivars; extensive notes on propagation, uses, ecology, cultivation, origins, distribution and conservation; historical and background information, including information on where to see prominent specimens and outstanding collections and details of plant and horticultural and cultivar registration associations. Volume 5 focuses on the monocotyledons, including such popular garden groups as irises, Illies, grasses, orchids, palms, bromelaids and many more. The five-volume set of Horticultural Flora of South-eastern Australia represents the most comprehensive and authoritative guide to the cultivated plants of New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, the ACT and southeastern Queensland.
