Eucalypts of the Sydney Region: A Bushwalker’s Guide

Designed to fit into the backpack of bushwalkers, students, botanists, field ecologists, and foresters, Eucalypts of the Sydney Region describes the most common eucalypt species found in the Sydney region. Each species description comes with a distribution map, line drawings of buds and fruit, a coloured photograph of the bark, and a diagram indicating growth habit. Species are grouped to assist with easy identification and comparison with similar species. The book is designed for non-technical enthusiasts and so avoids the use of specialist botanical terms, and contains a wealth of detail for those wishing to become more familiar with individual eucalypt species.  Describes 77 eucalypt species that are commonly found in the Sydney Basin, between Newcastle in the north and the Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands in the south, and including all of the Blue Mountains.
