Illustrations of the world's plants and flowers, chosen for scientific accuracy, artistic style and suitability for reproduction. Common and botanical names.
A guide on the high mountain region which includes the plants, wild
flowers, trees, shrubs, ferns and some grasses from the foothills
to the summit, with special attention to the large number of
endemic species; Southern and Northern KwaZulu; Natal Drakensberg,
Eastern Cape Drakensberg, Witteberge and Lesotho, including the
Maloti and Thaba Putsoa ranges as well as outliers such as Ingeli,
Mahaqhwa and Kamberg.
Wild flower identification may seem impossibly hard to those not
familiar with them, but this brilliant new photographic guide aims
to change that forever. With superb photography throughout,
including stunning portraits and close-ups of key features where
relevant, and succinct, no-nonsense text this book will help you
identify almost any wild flower that you may encounter in Britain
and Ireland. More than 800 carefully selected species are included
in the book, and only extreme rarities or seldom seen species are
excluded. The pages have been designed to ensure that the
photographs are reproduced at a sensible size and that the text is
readable. Key features are highlighted in tinted boxes throughout
the book, and details of confusion species and look-alikes are
given where relevant. Accurate colour maps based on the national
plant-mapping scheme are provided for almost every species. This
handy guide is an essential tool for anyone interested in our wild
flowers.
