Plant diversity in an Australian context is examined with emphasis on plant structure and function, growth and development, ecophysiology, floral structure and identification, taxonomy and nutrition. Ecophysiology is examined in terms of adaptations to environment in the context of Climate Change. The fungi, lichens and benthic marine macroalgae also are examined.
