The city of Perth is treasured for its areas of protected bushland in the heart of the city. Kings Park and Bold Park represent a significant part of the natural heritage of the Swan Coastal Plain and are an important part of city life. The city is also a gateway to the incredible biodiversity to be found in south-west Western Australia. 

Perth Plants provides a comprehensive photographic guide to all plants known to occur in the bush lands of Kings Park and Bold Park. There are 778 species included, both endemic and introduced, representing approximately one quarter of all the plants in the greater Perth region, and one-tenth of all species known for the south-west of Western Australia.

This greatly expanded second edition of this field guide contains information on additional species and updated photography throughout. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the plants of south-west Western Australia, and particularly the Swan Coastal Plain.
