Floyd, A.G. Rainforest trees of mainland south-eastern Australia Inkata, 1989. (420 pp.). [A useful book, providing keys and descriptions for most woody rainforest species of N.S.W. and Victoria, with many line illustrations.] Floyd, A.G. Australian rainforests in New South Wales, 2 vols. Surry Beatty & Sons, 1990. (136 and 180 pp., large format). [Not an identification guide, but an overview of the rainforest communities with many useful references. Vol. 1 covers the physical structure of the forest, the classification of rainforest types, their distribution, conservation, and modes of natural and artificial regeneration. Vol. 2 looks in detail at the rainforest types, the vegetational alliances that occur in them, and gets down to specific discussion of sites of these around the state.]

Pearson, S. & A. Pearson Rainforest plants of eastern Australia. Kangaroo Press, 1992. (224 pp.) [A highly misleading title - the book is strongly biased in species coverage to Queensland and northern N.S.W.
