There is at least one other person on this list, other than me, that I
think has it. I have only just got it as of about 3 weeks ago and as such
I can not really tell you all that much about its requirements yet.

Distribution maps are alright, but you also have to match the type of
habitat as well and that is not necessarily so easy.

If you read the APD at all you would have seen how much comment that this
book has caused and particulary over the identification of the plants
that Amano uses.

Don't know either, the only person that I know that would probably know
is the guy that I got my stuff from.

The guy's name is Dave Wilson from Palmerston NT. He is about to go
commercial with many other interesting native plants. He may be able to
supply some to you, mine is only just starting to get over the transplant
shock.
Hope this helps
