Wild Flowers of the Magaliesberg. 2013. col. figs. 297 p. Paper bd.
This book is a clear, easy-to-use introduction to over 500 wild flower species of the Magaliesberg (South Africa), directed mainly at the person becoming aware for the first time of these floral treasures. We use simple language, avoiding botanical terminology. Initially, plants are grouped by floral colour into six groups. We have tried to show leaves as clearly as possible, because awareness of their shape and arrangement often assists greatly in identification.
Contents: English, Afrikaans and Setswana common names/Information regarding early botanical pioneers/ Updated scientific names and derivations/ Ecological and habitat information / Organisations and contacts/ Places for public access/ All new photographs/ Leaf sketches.
