With increasing recognition of the urgent need to revegetate large areas of Australia, interest in seed collection of Australian native plants has grown dramatically. This unique, practical book provides information on all aspects of seed collection of native plants from temperate areas of Australia.

Topics covered include: Why Grow Local Native Flora; Guidelines for Seed Collection; What and When to Collect; How to Collect Seed; and Seed Handling and Storage.

Specific details are provided on the collection of over 350 Australian native plant genera. Seed collection times for over one thousand species are outlined.
