The first popular, comprehensive guide to the wildflowers of the higher rainfall areas of the southern Mount Lofty Ranges, which stretch from the Fleurieu Peninsula to the Barossa Valley and are dominated by the Messmate Stringybark. The introduction explains the many ways in which these plants have adapted to a difficult environment. Descriptions of families, genera and over 250 species are given in non-technical language. The ways in which some of the plants were used by the Aborigines and early setttlers are noted. An indication is given of their ease of propogation. Many of the species are illustrated in colour. To give a feeling of the environment and to show some of the plants in several aspects, usually one species in each of the fifty-eight genera, is illustrated with environmental and close-up photographs including one of a life-sized pressed specimen.
