NATIVE TREES by Andrew Crowe; Nature Flip Guide, Penguin 1998; $19.95

Reviewed by Vicki Hyde

This sturdy, double-sided laminated sheet shows life-size photos of the leaves and flowers of 52 native trees, with information on key identifying features. This approach would be great in the form of more generalised guides (i.e. natives and exotics) for different parts of the country. It's a bit big for a pocket, but would go well tossed in a backpack for any bush rambles.
