Author(s): Eagle, Audrey, Botanical Society of Otago

NZ Natural History | Secondhand

The Botanical Society of Otago has published a Supplement to Audrey Eagle's superb revision of her two previous books containing her paintings and information on nearly all the trees and shrubs found in New Zealand. This Supplement contains additional information on c. 630 of the plants illustrated in Audrey's books. Additional information is given on distribution, habitat, ecology, morphometrics, taxonomic history and relationships, plant uses, discoverer(s), and bibliographic notes, amongst other subjects. This information has been collated from Audrey's notes as well as those provided by many of New Zealand's leading botanists such as Colin Ogle, Brian Molloy, Peter de Lange, Shannel Courtney, and others. The quality and amount of information is stunning, and as such, is a valuable addition to accompany Audrey's books.
