Alpine Tasmania: An illustrated guide to the flora and vegetation

Description:

A concise summary of the natural history of the Tasmanian alpine environment. The mountains of Tasmania possess an unusual alpine vegetation, largely dominated by floriferous or coniferous shrubs, and a flora with strong affinities to those of other southern lands (although many species are confined to Tasmania). The book offers an account of the ecology and plant geography of the vegetation and flora, focusing on those areas in which tree growth is absent. It provides a guide to the major plant communities of the vegetation type and also serves as an aid to the identification of the vascular plant species of the alpine zone, which number more than 400.
