Plant Life on the Sandplains of Southwest Australia – A Biodiversity Hotspot
Southwest Australia is a region increasingly recognised for its high levels of biodiversity and endemism, and was recognized in 2000 as one of the world’s twenty-five ‘biodiversity hotspots’ based largely on its highly diverse, endemic and threatened flora.
Plant Life on the Sandplains in Southwest Australia: A global biodiversity hotspot has been assembled with current research and understanding about the south-western Australian flora, the greatest richness of which is on the sandplain, especially on the most nutrient-impoverished soils. The thirty-nine contributors include leading scientists and early-career researchers dealing with issues on the environment, biodiversity, speciation and phylogenetics, ecosystem composition and coevolution.
To be able to conserve threatened species, the animals that depend upon them, and the habitats they live in, we need to understand their functioning in the past and present, to protect them for the future.

Orchids
A Guide to Native Orchids of South Western Australia, Second Edition
Be warned! If you purchase this book you may become as addicted to finding, and photographing, native orchids as much as its author. This is an Orchids Guide with a difference.

The specific sites for each orchid are illustrated with ‘mud maps’. The book also cross-references some 239 orchids with about 200 sites in the greater south-west of Western Australia. Every orchid is illustrated fully in colour. There are also comprehensive Indexes, a Glossary, Author’s Notes and more.

There are over 1500 photographs including many focus-stacked images that reveal intricate floral details. It also provides detailed information on the pollination, ecology, cultivation, conservation and taxonomy of these orchids.
