Description

Western Australia is famous for its unique plants and animals, and many of those people who have been drawn to study them, have also been remarkable. One of the most remarkable of these people is Rica Erickson who has spent most of her life studying about orchids, triggerplants, carnivorous plants, birds and insects. This volume gives an account of how Rica became interested in natural history, who were her guides, mentors and associates, and how she did her research. The book is interspersed with reproductions of some of Rica's writings from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
