Around Australia's highest mountain lies a rare ecosystem, a beautiful and diverse alpine area. This volume describes and illustrates the area's 200 native species, 20 of them endemic. It discusses the geological and human history of the area, the life-form and habitat classifications of the plants, and explores the various plant communities and their environmental relationships. There are colour photographs which display the details of flowers, fruit, foliage, and ecological relationships.
