Ferns occur in great abundance in New Zealand - there are nearly 200 native species alone occurring everywhere from the coast through to the country's alpine regions. Then there are the fern allies - including clubmosses and forkferns that have an even longer fossil history than ferns. However, most of the ferns and fern allies described in this guide are the commoner species that are more likely to be seen when journeying around the New Zealand countryside. For ease of reference the common names are highlighted in the text although all species described are listed according to their scientific names so that their affinities with related species may be seen more easily.

This book has been very useful for me in planning my Stewart Island garden at our new vacation home. I am in the US and not familiar, except by sight from our previous visits to New Zealand, with your native plants. Many thanks for the help it has given me and for your very quick service in getting it to me here in the US. Diana Bryant
