AUSTRALIAN FLORA West Australiana –

First Edition of Rica Erickson’s first published work and SCARCE.

Rica Erickson (1908–2009) was a celebrated Western Australian naturalist, botanical artist, and historian. Her work brilliantly bridges the gap between the state’s unique flora and its colonial human history.

Rica Erickson’s beautifully illustrated early guidebooks set a standard for botanical illustration and remain highly influential. [1]
