Flora Australiensis. A Description of the Plants of the Australian Territory
Amsterdam, A. Asher & Co., and Brook (near Ashford), L. Reeve & Co., 1967 (facsimile edition)/ 1863 to 1878.
Octavo, seven volumes, comprising approximately 4300 pages overall.

'"Flora Australiensis", still a classic, was the first to cover any large continental area and one of the very few entirely written by one author. It represents a prodigious intellectual effort never equalled' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography', where the enormous contribution made by von Mueller to the project is recognised). [7 items].
