Abstract
Mrs Jose Steuart first wrote the book “Plants in New Zealand Poisonous to Man” in 1964 as a response to a public health need. That response was continued through to the 1975 edition which I revised, and which was reprinted in 1981. In 1989 Government Printer Books (GP Books) brought out “Poisonous Plants in New Zealand” by Jose Steuart as its replacement and as a revised edition
