This practical book identifies more than 140 species.

No group of plants is so characteristically Australian as the Eucalypts, yet individual species are by no means easy to identify. This practical book, now revised and updated, identifies more than 140 species commonly grown in or seen around cities, regardless of their state of origin. For each major species the plant is described, the range given, diagnostic features are summarised, related species are discussed, and their horticultural requirements outlined.

Ivan Holliday, a well known as a South Australian sportsman in his younger days, has since written 11 books on Australian plants including Hakeas: A Field and Garden Guide and is a regular contributor to journals on Australian flora. Now in semi-retirement, he works part time as a planning consultant and author. He also works on community projects with the Australian Plants Society.
