This beautifully illustrated field guide has been revised and updated with 50+ additional species, with its wealth of information it 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-lo-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
