Description

The EUCLID: Eucalypts of Australia DVD covers eucalypts' morphology – habit, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, buds, seeds and juveniles and some geographic and ecological information.

  • notes covering relationships, distinguishing features and other species with which it might be confused.

This information is complemented with over 9 000 high quality colour images covering each species, illustrating all the main features of the plant, and a map showing natural distribution.

New in the Third Edition is:

  • an additional 204 taxa compared with second edition, a total of 894 taxa
