Title: A Photographic Guide to Ferns of New Zealand
Description: New Holland Australia(AU) 2003 Softcover, 132pp. A Photographic Guide to Ferns of New Zealand is the third New Zealand title in this internationally acclaimed series of compact, easy-to-use guides that cover much of the flora and fauna of Europe, Southern Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Ferns occur in great abundance in New Zealand - there are nearly 200 native species alone occurring everywhere from the coast through to the country's alpine regions. Then there are the fern allies - including clubmosses and forkferns that have an even longer fossil history than ferns. However, most of the ferns and fern allies described in A Photographic Guide to Ferns of New Zealand are the commoner species that are more likely to be seen when journeying around the New Zealand countryside. For ease of reference the common names are highlighted in the text although all species described are listed according to their scientific names so that their affinities with related species may be seen more easily. Book has been bent at one stage. (ISBN: 9781877246944). Good.
