Do you have an email address for them by any chance? I'd like to figure out
exactly what they are charging and whether people in other countries can put
it on a charge instead of drawing a check. Any idea on the book price. If
I can get the info before Thursday evening I'll take it down to Tennessee
with me to the first annual Aquatic Gardener's meeting this weekend.
thanks,

Subject: [RML] New book on Australian Water Plants

Hello All

The botanists of the Northern Territory Herbarium have written a book
titled "Floodplain Flora, a flora of the coastal floodplains of the
Northern Territory, Australia " . Ian Cowie, Phil Short and Monica
Osterkamp Madsen have penned a volume that describes in brief an overview
of the flood plain and the relationships between plants animals and
seasonal wet season flooding. The main part of the volume consists of
descriptions, illustrations and keys to enable identification of the more
than 300 species of plants that grow on the floodplainds of the TOP END of
DOWNUNDER.

The book includes an account of almost all fully aquatic plant species in
the Northern Territory including those not found on the floodplain. A
must for keepers of Australian Rainbows and anyone who wants to put
together an Australian biotype aquarium.

It is available from :

Australian Biological Resources Study (Flora)
GPO Box 787
