This site is a work in progress and will be added to continually as the seasons change and as I come across more plants for the first time. All computer assistance has been given free of charge by Olof Elvingson at Avalon Computers and without it the project would not have got off the ground. I owe him a great deal of thanks. Plant Identification Identify a plant by browsing through the photo album of a specific flower colour (or predominant colour) or choose one of the other options if the plant does not have significant flowers. If the plant has only fruit and it is not in the Fruits and Seeds album, search using the word fruit. You can also search using the plant's botanical name, common name, major plant family such as pea, orchid, daisy or where it grows such as dunes, coastal scrub, heath, woodland, forest, rainforest, alluvial flats, swamps or aquatic. Further Information For identification, I have used the following sources. They are all excellent. Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney (2003) by Les Robinson. ISBN 0 7318 1211 5.
