The first of six volumes on the lichens. The initial chapters provide an introduction to their structure, chemistry, ecology, history and classification, while the descriptive section contains a key to the genera of the Australian taxa, and descriptions of the 230 species in nine families.

Haloragaceae and thymelaeaceae make up the major part of this volume. Haloragaceae are an ubiquitous group of over 100 species found almost throughout the continent in a range of habitats, including freshwater. Thymelaeaceae also comprizes over 100 species, mainly in the genus "pimelea".

Members of these two families should be familiar to anyone who has walked into the Australian bush. The biology and anatomy of the flowers, including their usual pollination mechanism, are described, as well as the diverse species making up these distinctly Australian families.

Volume 39 of the Flora of Australia describes 17 families of monocots in 76 genera and 256 species. Most of the families are aquatic, and include the sea-grasses, pond weeds, and some major agricultural weed species. Four families are entirely or mostly terrestrial.

The first of two volumes on the vascular floras of Australia's offshore territories, covering Norfolk Island and Lord Howe Island. An introduction to the geography, physical features, climate, history of human habitation, and vegetation is provided with checklists of the species recorded on each.

Australia's islands range from the tropics to the sub-Antarctic. This text introduces the geography, physical features, climate, vegetation, and history of human usage for each island or island group. It offers a checklist for the species recorded for the island and a key to families present.

This volume provides an up-to-date account of a significant component of the Australian lichen flora.

This volume provides descriptions of some of the more robust and luxuriant lichens of cool-temperate south-eastern Australia (Lobariaceae and Sphaerophoraceae), as well as ecologically important soil-inhabiting groups in semi-arid and arid regions (Peltulaceae, Endocarpon and Placidium).

Deals with the lichens in the world renowned Flora of Australia series. It offers complete or partial accounts of seven orders including nine families, 24 genera and 256 species as well as infra-specific taxa.
