Eagle's Trees and Shrubs of New Zealand in Colour
Audrey Eagle
Reference book but I haven't marked it as a a bonus book, because the illustrations really are beautiful. There have been a few editions over the years - the most comprehensive is the massive and gorgeous Eagle's Complete Trees and Shrubs of New Zealand from 2006.
