Flora of Australia: Volume 19, the acclaimed 1988 hardcover from the Australian Bureau of Flora and Fauna, focuses on the iconic Myrtaceae family—Eucalyptus and Angophora. This authoritative botanical reference delivers detailed field notes, precise illustrations, and distribution maps for students, professionals, and anyone fascinated by Australian trees.
The book arrives with its original dust jacket and is extensively illustrated, making species identification a pleasure rather than a chore. An earlier owner has inscribed and personalised the front endpaper, adding a unique provenance touch for collectors of Australian botanical works.
Former library stock, the copy shows sturdy craftsmanship: the binding remains tight, pages are free of dog-ears, and the text block is clean and readable. Expect the usual ex-libros—spine sticker, date-sheet remnants, and a few stamps—plus light foxing confined to the top edge; internal content is unaffected.
Ideal as a dependable desk reference or a gift for a nature-loving bibliophile, this volume adds scholarly weight to any home, office, or institutional library. Secure this piece of Australia’s scientific heritage while stocks last.
