Description of  The Flowering of Australia s Rainforests: Pollination Ecology and Plant Evolution Ed 2

The Flowering of Australias Rainforests provides a comprehensive introduction to the pollination ecology, evolution and conservation of Australian rainforest plants, with particular emphasis on subtropical rainforests and their associated pollinators.

This second edition strengthens coverage of these issues beyond that of the first edition. Read more
