This seminal publication began life as a collaborative effort
between the Irish botanist William Henry Harvey (1811-66) and his
German counterpart Otto Wilhelm Sonder (1812-81). Relying on many
contributors of specimens and descriptions from colonial South
Africa - and building on the foundations laid by Carl Peter
Thunberg, whose Flora Capensis (1823) is also reissued in this
series - they published the first three volumes between 1860 and
1865. These were reprinted unchanged in 1894, and from 1896 the
project was supervised by William Thiselton-Dyer (1843-1928),
director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. A final supplement
appeared in 1933. Reissued now in ten parts, this significant
reference work catalogues more than 11,500 species of plant found
in South Africa. Containing the remaining polypetalous orders of
the Calyciflorae, Volume 2 covers Leguminosae to Loranthaceae.
