A GUIDE TO THE FLOWERS & PLANTS OF TASMANIA
This phenomenally successful guide has been in print since 1981. Royalties from the Guide have allowed the Club to establish the John Skemp Field Centre on the Club's property at Myrtle Bank.
Now in its fourth edition, this beautifully illustrated guide has been extensively revised, with updated text and many new pictures. It is an invaluable companion and reference for bushwalkers, tourists and all those interested in the Tasmanian countryside.
For ease of identification each of the species described is accompanied by one or more photographs. The text includes all information necessary to help identify the plants: size, description, flowering time, appearance of the flowers and the type of habitat where you may expect to find them.
The book also includes an introduction to the vegetation of Tasmania, illustrations of leaf shapes and a glossary.
It is available from all leading bookstores or on application from the Club.
The late Mary Cameron an eminent botanist and club member played a leading role in the production of this guide and edited the first three editions.
