Synopsis
Excerpt from The Useful Native Plants of Australia, (Including Tasmania)
This book originated in a catalogue the author had prepared of such specimens obtained from plants indigenous in Australia as were in the Museum. But as the work proceeded new specimens Continued to arrive, and as it was found that the catalogue would, for that reason alone, never be complete, he decided to extend it, so as to _include all Australian plants which up to the present are known to be of economic value, or injurious to man and domestic animals.
