Wild Flowers of the Limpopo Valley Including Mapungubwe National Park

About this book

Language: English with bilingual nomenclature and botanical terminology in English and Afrikaans

The Limpopo Valley flanks the Limpopo River, which rises in South Africa and flows generally eastward through Mozambique to the Indian Ocean. The second edition of this guide is revised and updated and contains over 50 additional species. This beautifully illustrated field guide with its wealth of information will contribute towards the understanding of a group of plants so striking, and individually beautiful, yet so often overlooked and disregarded as 'weeds'. It represents a major contribution in support of the inadequate existing literature on the subject and will be equally useful for the general public and career conservationists.

This colour-coded easy-to-use field guide includes:
- Brief descriptions for more than 400 herbaceous and semi-woody species, including information on the plant's habitat, conservation status etc.
- More than 700 colour photographs as a further aid to identification.
- Distribution maps including South Africa, Namibia and Botswana.
- Detailed margin leaf drawings
- Origin of scientific names
- English and Afrikaans common names
- Indexes to scientific and common names
- Detailed glossary and glossary plate
- Botanical terminology English/Afrikaans
- Step-by-step guide to the collection of plant material
- Information on the region
