This is a guide and reference resource illustrating and describing the great array of plants in this dry pastoral section of New South Wales. Each author became aware of the need for a comprehensive record of these plants, for both the people involved in research and advisory services, and particularly for landholders who need to manage the plants for their livelihood. The extensive collation and description of flora, together with the many coloured plates, are an amalgamation of existing knowledge and efforts and the results of extensive research undertaken in the field by the widely-qualified authors. Plant descriptions include habitat, distribution, forage and field characteristics and the risk status of endangered plants. Its comprehensive nature makes the work significant to pastoralists and people concerned with plants throughout Australia.
