Weeds of the Sunshine Coast – 2nd Edition
During September NICA released the second edition of “Weeds of the Sunshine Coast”. The 2013 edition became a bible for bush regenerators and anyone interested in plant ID. The book covers herbs, trees, shrubs, vines and climbers along with aquatics, sedges and grasses. Identification features, biosecurity classification, country of origin and control methods are included for all 272 pressed specimens. The feature that makes this book so valuable for ID purposes is that every plant has a full size scanned image along with a photograph of the flower, fruit or habit.
