Identification and Ecology of Southwest Australian Orchids.

Published 2014 $55.00

This field guide to temperate West Australian orchids is designed to be user friendly by limiting the use of terminology in keys and using visual guides to species, but also aims to make identification as accurate as possible. For each species, a brief description focuses on defining features with the majority of space used for photos that clearly show identifying features. There are over 1500 photographs including many focus-stacked images that reveal intricate floral details. It also provides detailed information on the pollination, ecology, cultivation, conservation and taxonomy of these orchids.

A Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the Rockingham Offshore Islands and Cape Peron.

Published 1988 $11.00

This Guide describes and illustrates the flora and fauna (including marine life) of Garden Island, the offshore islands of Shoalwater Bay and Cape Peron. It also includes Tern Island, a recently vegetated islet in Safety Bay. A rich diversity of wildlife is illustrated and attention is drawn to the importance of the area with regard to breeding of species such as the Little Penguin.
The special role of the islands is emphasized by the survival on Garden Island of the Tammar Wallaby, together with several species of trees, plants and bush birds, all of which are absent from the immediate mainland. The main factors favouring their survival are the absence of regular burning, and of predators such as the fox and feral cat. The communities of Garden Island may represent the balance of flora and fauna which existed on the mainland prior to European settlement. Five sections are included: plants, birds, mammals, reptiles and marine life.
