Those who have been members of any of the member Societies of ANPSA for any length of time will know that its primary publication is the journal ‘Australian Plants’ which was first published in December 1959.

If you’ve ever wondered how it all began, Volume 1 Number 1 is now available for download. However, be aware that it’s a large download (about 10MB) because it’s been scanned at a resolution large enough for legible printing.

Contents:

  • How to Grow Waratahs
  • The Treatment of Seed
  • The Proteaceae
  • The Genus Telopea (with botanical illustrations)
  • The Inflorescence
  • What’s New from WA
  • How do Waratahs Grow?
  • Front and back photographs by the famous Australian photographer, Frank Hurley

You will need a PDF Reader such as Foxit Reader or Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file (both are free downloads).

‘Australian Plants’ has been in continuous publication for over 50 years with well over 200 issues. Needless to say, finding particular articles of interest can be difficult. To assist readers, index files have been created. These now cover Volumes 1 to 25 (issues 1 to 205).

‘Getting Started’ is a 32 page publication aimed at the new grower of Australian native plants (although more experienced growers will find some useful information as well!). You will need a PDF Reader such as Foxit Reader or Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file (both are free downloads).

‘Getting Started’ covers:

  • Myths and Fables
  • The Soil
  • Selection of Plants
  • Plant Propagation
  • Potting On
  • Planting Out
  • Watering
  • Pest Control
  • Potted Plants
  • Further Information

ANPSA’s Member Societies have been active in print publishing almost since the Society’s inception. Over the years literally hundreds of publications have been produced ranging from simple brochures and pamphlets aimed at specific local areas to full commercial titles. More recently, a number of titles have been produced on compact disc.

‘Fifty Years of Promoting Australian Plants’ is a comprehensive checklist of most of the publications produced between 1957 and 2007. Undoubtedly some have been inadvertently omitted because they were produced in low numbers early in the Society’s existence or by local groups that no longer exist, or for other reasons. The list covers the following broad groups:

  • Books initiated/organised/sponsored by Bill Payne and the Publishing Section under the guidance of the Society for Growing Australian Plants, NSW Ltd.
  • Books published by Society Regions or Branches, or individuals sponsored by Regions or Branches
  • Books published by Study Groups or individuals supported by Study Groups
  • Publications from ANPSA Biennial Conferences and APS Victoria F.J.C. Rogers Seminars
  • Internet Publications
