Native Trees and Shrubs of South Australia by Leon Costermans is the go-to illustrated reference for gardeners, bushwalkers and students who want to identify local flora without wading through technical jargon. First released in 1989, this hefty hardback from Weldon Publishing presents 422 pages of crisp line drawings and concise notes that make field recognition straightforward.

The book divides species by habitat, then uses easy spot-characters—leaf shape, bark texture, flower colour—to narrow the options quickly. Costermans’ friendly descriptions highlight each plant’s ecological role and practical uses, turning a simple ID guide into an engaging read for nature lovers and young adult learners alike.

This copy retains its original dust jacket and every illustration, giving you the full visual experience. Expect light edge wear to the cloth boards and some foxing spots on the preliminary leaves and jacket; the bulk of the text block remains clean and free of markings, making it a solid working copy for the bench or backpack.

An enduring classic among Australian nature reference books, Native Trees and Shrubs of South Australia continues to outsell many newer field guides thanks to its clarity and scope. Grab this used edition while it’s available and enjoy reliable plant identification for garden projects or weekend rambles.
