Condition: Very Good (As viewed in the image; cover appears clean and intact; binding holds firmly; pages present as clear and legible with some tanning; previous owner on FEP; damage to front two pages; rubbing on edges of binding)
This seminal agricultural text offers a comprehensive botanical and toxicological analysis of the flora known to pose risks to livestock across the diverse Western Australian landscape. Authored by noted botanist C.A. Gardner and veterinarian H.W. Bennetts, the work is meticulously organized to serve both as a field guide for identifying dangerous vegetation and as a scientific manual for understanding the resultant poisoning in stock. By cataloging the distribution, characteristics, and physiological effects of these toxic species, the authors provided farmers and pastoralists with an essential resource for land management and stock protection. Today, The Toxic Plants of Western Australia remains a highly regarded reference for botanists and historians of Australian agriculture, prized for its authoritative documentation of the ecological challenges faced by early pastoral industries in the state.
