This beautifully illustrated field guide covers 504 of the most common fruiting plants found in Australias eastern rainforests; as well as a few species that are rare in the wild but generally well-known. These spectacular plants can be seen from Cape York to Victoria; with some species also found in the Northern Territory; Western Australia and overseas. Rainforest fruits are often beautifully coloured; and in this guide the species are arranged by colour of ripe fruit; then by size and form. Five broad categories ndash; pink to purple; blue to black; yellow and orange to red; green to brown; and white ndash; allow people with even limited botanical knowledge to identify rainforest fruits.Each species description is accompanied by a leaf drawing; a distribution map; and diagnostic characters to help the reader distinguish similar species.Australian Rainforest Fruits includes stunning artwork by Australiarsquo;s leading natural history artist; William T Cooper. It will be sought not just by bushwalkers and natural history enthusiasts; but also by those who admire botanical art at its best.
