"In the eight years since the release of the first edition there has been much ongoing study and analysis of plants, both in Tasmania and worldwide. This has resulted in a number of changes to classifications at family, genus and species level and I have endeavoured to update the information accordingly. Nomenclature is up-to-date as recorded in 'A Census of Vascular Plants of Tasmania', 2012 edition, which follows the system used by Cronquist (1981) and is how the botanical collection at the Tasmanian Herbarium is arranged."--Preface to 2nd ed.

This second edition of Coastal Plants has been updated and expanded to provide a definitive guide to 128 of the most common plants of the Perth coastal region. It includes the key species used in coastal restoration, along with important weeds. The description of each species is accompanied by a distribution map and diagnostic photographs of the whole plant, flowers, seeds and fruits. The book also contains introductory chapters on the biology and ecology of the coastal plants, their biogeography, and practical approaches to the restoration of coastal dune vegetation. Coastal Plants is distinctive in its focus on restoration, which makes it valuable for community groups and individuals interested or involved in coastal natural history or restoration activities.
