Australian Plants Journal
Australian Plants is a 48 page quarterly publication in A5 format and is the Society’s main publication.The journal is published by our New South Wales branch and was first issued in 1959 under the editorship of the late Bill Payne, who remained as editor for over 40 years. Australian Plants attempts to strike a balance between articles of practical interest to the average grower and scientific research papers.
The journal has built up a high reputation since its first issue and is held in many libraries both in Australia and overseas. Its authors include the foremost experts in research into the horticulture and botany of Australian native plants as well as experienced amateur growers. Australian Plants is illustrated with numerous colour photographs and line drawings. It’s topics cover a wide range and include landscaping, growing, botany, propagation and conservation.
In December 2009, Australian Plants celebrated 50 years of publication and it is still going strong!
