From the rear panel: "The aim of this book is to provide an accurate botanical name and a preferred common name for each plant that is or may be of importance to Australia. It follows in the tradition of 'A checklist of economic plants in Australia' compiled by W. Hartley and published in 1979, and incorporates the many changes to botanical names and includes many new species that are now recognized as either weeds or valuable species in Australia. The checklist includes weeds of agriculture and the environment; crop plants including vegetables, tropical crops, orchard species and trees used for timber; ornamental species are included where they have or may become environmental weeds. The list is inclusive rather than exclusive - if a plant may become a weed or may have value as a crop, or be a threat to our environment then you will find it here." Contents include: Foreword.
