Plants of the Perth Coast and Islands is the definitive guide to the coastal flora of the Perth region.

The introductory section places the plants in their settings and provides valuable information on the climate, geomorphology, history and conservation of the coast. Numerous maps, diagrams and photographs accompany the text.

Descriptions of more than 120 species follow, from wattles to seagrasses, enabling with ease the identification almost any plant you might encounter along the coastline. Each description provides a wealth of detail on the habits and characteristics of not only the place but also the animal life associated with it. Superbly illustrated with watercolour drawings of each species.
