Natural History and Environment

The genus 'Eucalyptus' includes over 800 species of which over 326 are treated in Australia. This volume covers the southern part of Western Australia -- including the Great Victoria Desert -- and extends across the Nullabor Plain, to most of South Australia and into areas of New South Wales which lie to the north and west of the River Darling. Since the first edition, many new species have been formally named. The numerous subsequent discoveries are included in the Appendix of the volume. In addition, the layout of the book has been updated and reorganised to be consistent with the latest formal classification of the genus.
