Australian Succulent Plants - an introduction

Attila Kapitany

This book present a fresh approach to conventional attitudes and ideas about the diversity and beauty of Australian flora. With Australia’s natural flora of well over 20,000 species, at least 400 are considered to have a notable degree of succulence.

This book covers approximately one hundred species from 40 genera and most are described and illustrated in some detail. There are additional notes on traditional and modern foods, availability, cultivation, conservation and other items of interest. Included are some of the most under-appreciated, diverse, and interesting Australian plants. Many of them are among the most drought or dry tolerant of all plants, though some are not always obviously succulent.

Echeveria Cultivars

Lorraine Schulz & Attila Kapitany

A great deal of confusion exists with echeveria identification.  This book correctly identifies over 150 different types.  It is meant as a visual feast of the beauty of echeverias as well as an identification guide.  No other books have offered such coverage, making this book the standard by which others on the subject will be measured.  The text throughout is jargon-free, in keeping with the author’s desire to make this book an easy and enjoyable reading experience for everyone.

Lavishly illustrated throughout with superb photographs.
