A cornerstone of Australian botanical science, Flora of South Australia: Part IV Oleaceae-Compositae presents the fourth and final installment of J. M. Black's monumental taxonomic series, systematically cataloguing the flowering plant families from Oleaceae through to the vast and complex Compositae — one of the largest families of flowering plants on Earth.

Each entry instructs the reader in precise botanical terminology, offering diagnostic keys, morphological descriptions, and habitat notes that remain indispensable to field botanists, ecologists, and taxonomists alike.
