Australian Tropical Rain Forest Trees and Shrubs.

Abstract

The diversity of Australia's tropical rain forest flora is captured on this CD-ROM which provides a wide range of users with an easy-to-use tool for identifying 1800 trees and shrubs. The extensive dataset is accessed via an interactive identification system which allows the user to identify rain forest flora even when only part of the plant is available. The package includes imagery of flowers and fruits, and all species are illustrated by leaf X-rays. This combination of images and information on features of leaves, fruits, flowers, bark, seedlings, and family classification and geographic distribution is complemented by detailed computer-generated descriptions of each species.
