One of our members, Howard Harvey, has developed a computer program called APSQuery to select Australian native plants to meet specific requirements.

The program searches a database which contains descriptions of approximately 8,000 native plants. The database that is used was created and is maintained by society volunteers, and has a bias towards plants suitable for South Australian conditions, with Mediterranean to semi-arid climates. With prudence it can be applied to southern Western Australian and Victorian conditions, but may be less accurate for eastern seaboard and tropical environments.

To download the latest version of APSQuery, go to Howard's Australian Native Plants Selector website. While there, check out some of his other downloads.
