"This book, like our flora, is a gem. Easily accessible, well laid-out and with informative but easy to understand text, you can use it on any ramble around Perth and chances are you'll be able to work out what plants you've found."--Kevin Thiele, Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Perth
