I find it a useful second reference, not exactly a field book. Soon to be online. I hope they bring a version out for the iPad. let the authors know about any edits.

I'd be interested to hear what botanists think of the accuracy of following book which was on sale at the last ECA Conference:

Pellow, BJ,, Henwood, MJ & Carolin, RC (2009). Flora of the Sydney Region. 5th ed (Sydney University Press, University of Sydney).

I was interested to learn about Drosera spp. that occur in the Sydney region and the above text was one of several information sources that I consulted. It identified seven species that occur in the greater Sydney region: D. binata, D. pygmaea, D. glandulifera (misnamed?), D. burmannii, D. spatulata, D. peltata and D. auriculata.

Other sources illustrated that D. glandulifera is actually D. glanduligera and that D. auriculata has been classified as a subspecies of D. peltata since 1981.

If there are inconsistencies in the treatment of Drosera species by "Flora of the Sydney Region" I wonder if there are similar types of mistakes in other sections of the book.
