Tasmanian Plant Names Unravelled was the first comprehensive species-by-species guide to the origin and meaning of the scientific and common names of the 2,700 vascular plants native and naturalised in Tasmania. And it is now fully revised!

This booklet was first produced in 2005, authored by Hans, Annie & Mark Wapstra with Louise Gilfedder. Since then, the content has been kept up-to-date by Hans & Mark Wapstra (and in recent years by Mark) with changes in the Tasmanian Herbarium’s Census of vascular Plants of Tasmania reviewed annually. New/altered names are provided direct to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania’s Natural Values Atlas. However, numerous people have requested a hard copy. While we recognise that there will always be changes, this edition reflects the contemporary state-of-affairs and should remain relatively stable for most species for a long period.
