edited by P D Bostock & A E Holland.

Queensland Herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, Brisbane.

298 pages.

Reviewed by Elwyn Hegarty
This is a newly updated edition, which lists the botanical names and district of origin of specimens held by the Queensland Herbarium. It contains, in alphabetical order by family, the current genus and species names of the State’s native and naturalised flowering plants, its conifers, cycads and allies, ferns and allies, mosses liverworts and hornworts, algae and lichens, as well as a list of non-native species that are no longer considered part of the Queensland flora.

Also shown are recent name changes to plant families, and a map of the Queensland districts referred to in the listings. Other general information is included, and plants with protected status under current legislation are indicated in the species lists. There is also an alphabetical index of generic names at the back. The book is accompanied by a CD-Rom containing the same information in searchable form.

Although it is a reference book, it is not too technical for a non-botanist to use to check plant names, spellings etc., and be directed to locations where more detailed information may be found.

Copies may be obtained from The Director, Queensland herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt. coot-tha, Mt. Coot-tha Road, Toowong. Qld. 4066. Phone (07) 3896 9326; Fax: (07) 3896 9624; Email: Queensland.Herbarium@epa.qld.gov.au.
