By Meredith Mitchell
This book is an easy-to-use tool for identifying some of the most common native grasses in temperate Australia. The text describes 17 species in detail, covering general features as well as specific distinguishing features. Full-colour photographs of the whole plant, as well as close-ups of significant parts of the plant such as the seedhead, leaf blade, seed and ligule, accompany each species description.
