Native Edible Plants of New Zealand

This updated edition of Andrew Crowe's best-selling field guide describes in detail almost 250 of Aotearoa New Zealand's native trees, shrubs, herbs, ferns, mushrooms, lichens and seaweeds. As in previous editions, you’ll find information here about which part is edible and when, how plants have been utilised in the past – in particular by Māori – their nutritional value, and where they can be found. In a separate section, Crowe also describes important poisonous plants that are either native to Aotearoa or are likely to be confused with edible plants mentioned in the book.

Vital as ever after 45 years in print, this attractive and informative book will be of interest to trampers, botanists and all who appreciate New Zealand’s native flora.
