second edition).Octavo, paperback,536 pp.,colour photographs. Tasmanian Plant Names Unravelled was the first comprehensive species-by species guide to the origin and meaning of the scientific and common names of the 2,700 vascular plants native and naturalised in Tasmania. And it is now fully revised! Lavishly illustrated, this book will appeal to Tasmanian botanists, naturalists and gardeners. It will also be useful in southeastern mainland States, which share much of the Tasmanian flora. This book is an easy-to-read reference that explains the mysteries of botanical language in a non-technical way. This is more than just a simple reprint - we have totally revised the text (same general format and content), included several hundred new species, changed almost all the images to high resolution digital versions, added more biographies and information boxes and fully updated the taxonomy. More exciting than any of that is that we now illustrate over 1,630 different plant species (up from around the 930 images in the first edition).
