This field guide to the rainforest trees and shrubs of Victoria, New South Wales and subtropical Queensland has been totally updated since the 2006 version to include new species (this edition now covers 880 species), up to date or currently accepted names and changes to the keys to more readily identify species.   Most traditional floras or identification guides to plants use flowers and fruits as the main means of identification and recognition as these are the most obvious and stable parts of the plant. However, in rainforests the flowers and fruits are usually held high in the canopy of the forest and so difficult to collect and thus determine the name of the plant.   Also, flowers are usually seasonal and produced on the plants for only a short time each year.
