Acacia Set

Flora of Australia Volumes 11A and 11B: Mimosaceae, Acacia Parts 1and 2 / Wattle: Acacias of Australia
The Acacia Set contains Flora of Australia Volume 11 A&B, in hardback format, and Wattle: Acacias of Australia CD-ROM.
There are more species of Acacia (wattles) in Australia than any other genus: more than 1,000. Australian wattles are now described in the
Flora of Australia Volume 11 A&B. These volumes open with background essays on the relationships, biology, fossil history and utilisation of wattles, before moving to the traditional tightly written authoritative descriptions, identification keys, bibliographic information, and notes on ecology and distribution. Virtually all taxa are illustrated in carefully accurate black and white line drawings, and many are also represented in some 128 colour photographs and two original watercolour paintings.
With the aid of WATTLE, you will be able to identify any species of acacia in Australia. This powerful electronic key enables species to be quickly and accurately named, irrespective of whether specimens are in flower or fruit. WATTLE is also a comprehensive information package, with descriptions and illustrations of the nearly 1,200 species, subspecies and variants of Acacia in Australia.
