A highly sought-after ethnobotanical bulletin detailing the traditional plant use of the Mangarrayi people of the Elsey region near Mataranka. This booklet records food plants, fibre plants, medicines, cultural uses and species names — and includes both scientific and Indigenous plant names.

Features:

• Regional setting, vegetation & language notes

• Mangarrayi plant names and uses (alphabetical by scientific name)

• Line drawings and clear botanical information

• Discussion of key plant uses and categories

• Well-organised reference tables & appendices

These later bulletins (Nos. 12–16) have become extremely scarce — especially ethnobotany titles authored by Wightman.
