There is no national guide, nothing even close. For identifying plants in the
Sydney basin using a single volume I'd recommend Les Robinson's "Field Guide to
the Native Plants of Sydney" (Kangaroo Press) is probably the best place to
start. No pictures, but good B&W line drawings and a pictorial key, it's easy
to carry and to use. It will set you back about $40.

Subject: : Guides for Wildflowers and trees
Hi All,
My wife asked me to post this to you wonderful lot. She's after guides for both
Wildflowers, and
Trees -- native and non-native.
I told her I thought any book covering all of Aus would be either too big or
would cover too little. So regional guides would also be good. We live in the
Sydney Basin.
And she wants a guide that doesn't require specialist knowledge -- ones in
which it is easy to look up trees and wildflowers even if you don't know what
they are!
(Any great guides on mushrooms and fungi out there?)
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Gordon Cain, who still isn't sure what's a gum tree and what's eucalypt and
what's an ironbark. . .
