-> Cactus & Succulents -> Other Succulents

Author: Attila Kapitany, Jen Silcock

A unique and interesting book showcasing a large range of Australian native plants with information that is not readily available elsewhere, or not in the same cohesive format.

A field guide to the numerous Australian native succulent plants that are spiny or spinescent to varying degrees and found widespread across inland Australia. These are plants from arid or semi-arid regions and can be commonly encountered along or near roadsides. Road travellers through inland Australia who encounter these plants routinely struggle to find helpful or correct information about them. What are they called? Are they native? Are they poisonous?

These are extremely important plants within their ecosystems providing a range of benefits to other flora and fauna that live there. Benefits include shelter, food, water to some of the rarest marsupials and birds, notably Bilbies, Numbats, Rare Wallabies, the legendary Night Parrot and Splendid Parrot.

Colourful and clear images (numerous for each species), distribution maps and further detailed information about each species to help with their identification.
