Not just orchids ... grass flowers too.

One of the puzzles for me as I walk the creek is working out which grasses belong there and which do not.

The section that I walk is within a large, protected bush section, but is surrounded by farms, and contaminated by many of the pasture grasses.

Jessop, Dashorst and James's recent publication, "Grasses of South Australia; an illustrated guide to the native and naturalised species", is exactly what I need.

Need?

Needed ... for our household now has its own, treasured, copy, courtesy of the brother of one of those named in the acknowledgements.
