Eagle's Trees and Shrubs of New Zealand (original) (raw)

This volume serves as a companion to the author's earlier work on New Zealand's woody plants, featuring life-size watercolor illustrations of branches and detailed taxonomic features. It includes scientific names, descriptions, and botanical notes that provide insights into the etymology, history, and diversity of the species. While the segregation of species into two volumes is noted as a limitation, the work is commended for balancing aesthetic appeal and scientific accuracy, making it valuable for both specialists and general enthusiasts.
