The Plants Directory.
Volume 1, North-east NSW.

The Plants Directory: Volume 1, Northeast NSW is partly based upon the Northern NSW Plants Database developed between 1996 and 1998 by Greg Steenbeeke while employed in a project jointly funded by the NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation, the Clarence Catchment Management Committee, and the Federal Government through either the National Landcare Program (NLP) or the Natural Heritage Trust (NHT). The position was employed to develop a regional vegetation management plan*. One of the outcomes of this project was making available suitable information for groups and the community in general on vegetation and biodiversity. The database satisfied both the needs of identification of suitable species in an area, and the development of lists of species suitable for rehabilitation projects.

Species lists used as the basis for this work were sourced from the 'Census of New South Wales Plants' records maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens and National Herbarium, Sydney. The assistance of staff in providing those lists and in assisting with identification of specimens is gratefully acknowledged.

I recommend viewing the Species Information Window and this Main Window as maximised screens, while leaving the genus information window at its current size. I would also suggest that your screen be operating at 800 x 600 pixels true colour (32-bit). All of the imagery is captured in millions of colours.

* Project title "Local Government Liaison Officer". Funded from 1996 to 1999.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: My thanks goes mostly to my long suffering family, especially my wife Kerri and my children Martin, Emilli and Iszebille. I would also like to thank various other people who have helped me along the way with plant materials for scanning, technical advice, identifications (as noted above) and comments on the format and appearance. I hope this work shows some of your comments were heard. I would also like to thank Tim Scanlon of Coffs Harbour who re-typed some parts and did a marvellous job re-editing some of the output. I would also like to thank staff and volunteers at the Coffs Harbour regional Botanic Gardens for allowing access to their magnificent collection of rare and threatened species.
