Reviews

This is the third volume in a series of four, and the second that deals entirely with taxonomic treatments, covering the first part of the Dicotyledons from Winteraceae to Myrtaceae. The book is beautifully executed along the lines already discussed and praised in the review of the second volume [J.F. Veldkamp, Blumea 42 (1): 259- 260]. The present volume includes 16 colour plates and line drawings showing useful details of most species. Distribution maps of all species are included. A glossary (partly illustrated), a list of references, and an index concludes the volume. This well printed book should find its way to all people interested in the flora of Australia, and that of Victoria especially.
