Gardening & Environment Science & Nature Australiana
Native Trees And Shrubs Of South Eastern Australia by Leon Costermans is a well‑illustrated guide to the region’s native flora, ideal for anyone interested in botany, gardening or Australian natural history. The book blends clear descriptions with vivid artwork, making it a useful reference for both young adults and seasoned horticulturists.
Published in 1985, this hardcover edition comes with its original dust jacket and retains the full set of colour plates that showcase the diverse trees and shrubs of southeastern Australia. Its placement in the Environment, Nature & Earth and Mathematics & Sciences categories highlights its relevance to both leisure gardening and scientific study.
The volume is in good condition overall, with a tight binding and a smoke‑free home provenance. The front and back inner covers show some yellowing and foxing, a blank paper leaf opposite the cover page has been removed, and a few pages show light thumbing, but there are no markings, dog‑ears or other wear. The book is also noted as personalised, adding a unique touch to its provenance.
