Field guide to plants of Darwin Sandsheet Heath


Recommended Posts

For those interested there's a new field guide to the plants of mainly the Howard Sand Plain just near Darwin which includes carnivorous and other plants associated with that habitat. There are photos and brief descriptions in plain English to make it easily useable by anyone.

While it covers the plants found in surveys of the Howard Sand Plain, there are other species not covered but are found in other habitats near Darwin.

The guide is available for free download in PDF format from the Top End Native Plant Society website on this page:
