Photographic Guide to Wild Flowers of South Africa by Braam Van Wyk

The flowers are grouped according to floral colouring (sections are therefore colour coded), and concise information on the flowers is focused on identification in the field. The authoritative text, by a leading expert, also features interesting historical, medicinal and cultural facts about the flowers described. A distribution map of each flower is featured in conjunction with the textual entries and two pages of diagrams are further aids to easy identification of flowers by leaf and flower types and parts.
Braam van Wyk is a professor in the Department of Plant Science at the University of Pretoria. He is a plant taxonomist and has authored or co-authored numerous publications on the botany of southern Africa, including Field Guide to Trees of Southern Africa and Field Guide to Trees Introduced into Southern Africa.
