I wanted to really love this book, and generally I love most books on Australian native plants whether referential or not. Unfortunately, the bias just swung way too hard to Eastern state representation, neglecting some of the amazing hardy natives of the Northern Territory and Western Australia (I can't speak to South Australia). I think what was so disappointing is the neglect of some of these natives missed out on a range of drought hardy, garden-proofed, virtually 'bomb-proof' plants that are not accessible from nurseries like Lullfitz and Zanthorrhea, so for knowledgeable or even hobby gardeners interested in Perth natives (i.e. those in Western Australia), the gaps can seem really glaring.

It is obvious that Angus Stewart knows a great deal about native Australian plants and cultivars from the Eastern states. And it's also quite obvious that he has some knowledge about what's coming out of Western Australia; but the reality is that this is primarily an Eastern states reference book, marketed as a reference book for 'Australia.' I'd suggest those in the NT and WA look elsewhere.
