Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature
Encyclopaedia Botanica by Frances Bodkin is a vintage 1990 hardcover reference that celebrates Australian plants and their traditional uses. Generously illustrated and wrapped in its original dust jacket, the book suits gardeners, students, and nature lovers who like authoritative yet accessible guides.
Inside, the pages are clean and tidy, with only gentle age-yellowing that speaks of three decades on a shelf. The binding is solid, the text unmarked, and it comes from a smoke-free home, ready for immediate browsing or research.
While not signed or inscribed, the copy retains the charm of a first-edition textbook seldom found in such well-kept condition. Its comprehensive entries make it a practical companion for landscaping projects, bushwalks, or simply identifying backyard flora.
Add this sturdy volume to your botany library and enjoy Frances Bodkin’s enduring knowledge of Australia’s remarkable plant life.
