Publisher's Synopsis
Part of the new Te Papa Te Taiao Nature Series, this accessible, handsomely illustrated guide to the commonly encountered native plant species of Aotearoa New Zealand has wide appeal. Native Plants of Aotearoa describes and beautifully illustrates fifty of our most interesting and commonly encountered species. Written by Te Papa botanists, it includes useful descriptions on each species and insights into the museums fieldwork and collections. The illustrations are from Te Papas collections, basedon sketches from fresh plant specimens collected by botanists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander on board HMS Endeavour during the 178671 expedition. Each book in this lightweight, hardback series designed by award-winning designer Tim Denee has a crisp look and feel, ideal for pocketing for tramps, or for using at home.
