"Wildflowers of the Snow Country" is a comprehensive field guide to the wildflowers of the mainland Australian Alps. It provides an accessible means of identification, for lay-people, or virtually every native species to be found in the Snow Country - from the Alpine Ash forests up to the true alpine zone. It covers the wildflowers of the Snow Country of Namadgi, Kosciuszko, Victoria's Alpine and Mount Buffalo National Parks, relying on field characters such as flower colour, petal number and plant dimensions. It includes name pronunciation and meaning, relationships, how to distinguish from similar species, and contains ecological, conservation and human usage information. It uses the most up-to-date taxonomy.
