A field guide to wild flowers of Kwa-Zulu Natal and the Easter Region by Elsa Pooley
This is a guide to wild flowers in the summer rainfall area, describing over 2100 species from subtropical coastal dunes to mountain peaks, with the focus on KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Lesotho, Free State, Gauteng, North-West, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Swaziland and Southern Mozambique. The emphasis is on flowers and shrubs found below 1800m.
Dr. Elsa Pooley (DSc honoris causa) (UKZN) is a skilled botanical artist and practical botanist with more than 40 years' experience in the field. Elsa lives on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal, near the village of Clansthal. Originally based in the game reserves of Zululand, her research has included pioneering work on the traditional uses of plants by the people of Maputaland. Her botanical tours take local and international visitors to explore the flora of the eastern region of South Africa, particularly the Drakensberg and Lesotho alpine region. Elsa's knowledge and versatility bridges the divide between the popular and the academic. She has worked closely with the National Botanical Institute, in particular the Natal Herbarium in preparation of the Flora Publications Trust books.
