This visually superb and informative field guide is the second volume of Flora of the Otway Plain and Ranges, and covers more than 480 species of daisies, heaths, peas, saltbushes, sundews, wattles and other shrubby and herbaceous dicotyledons. The illustrated family key is unique and covers 75 families and over 200 genera. Each species is illustrated and labels provide a clear key to identification for botanists and amateurs alike.

The Otway region of Victoria, with its temperate rainforests, mountain ash forests, heathlands, plains and coastal dunes, has an extraordinarily rich and diverse flora.
