Hi Nick, some information for you from a south east Australian (mainly
Victorian) perspective.
We are spoilt for choice in the south east with a plethora of field
guides, detailed treatises, reference books and CD-ROM's on various native
plant groups including the non-vascular plants (mosses, liverworts etc)
and fungi.
Here's just a selection of the ones I use at work and in the field. I
have put an asterisk against the ones most of use to someone like
yourself, they have great images and other information.
