Identifying New Zealand's ferns is made simple and fun for all the family with this new guide. Over 45 ferns are featured, categorised by the fineness of their fronds. The life-size photographs allows readers to easily and accurately identify the ferns featured. Life-size Guide to New Zealand Native Ferns also features life-size photographs of a range of native moths where the caterpillars of that species feed on a particular fern. This unique approach allows readers of the book to look for the moths and caterpillars while identifying the plant. This is the fourth in this Life-Size Guide series.
