Flowering Plants of Africa, Volume 68: Plates 2381–2400

About this book

Twenty full-colour plates and descriptions of plants appear in this peer-reviewed biennial series, which has become a collector’s item of the African and specifically South African flora. This volume is dedicated to Prof. Estrela Figueiredo, prolific author of over 300 papers and books on various botanical topics, and recipient of the Rudolf Marloth Medal of the Botanical Society of South Africa for her work towards popularising the flora of South Africa. Contributions to this colourful edition include two aloes, five kalanchoes, three legumes and a number of other interesting and enigmatic species such as Protea caffra subsp. caffra, Oldenburgia grandis and Lasiosiphon polycephalus among various others. New taxa published in this volume are Xerophyta burrowsiorum, Kalanchoe × estrelae, Tephrosia monticola and Barleria makgabengensis. The botanical art includes plates by Gillian Condy, Lesley Deysel (with her depiction of Tephrosia monticola featured on the cover), the late F.Z. van der Merwe and Sandra M. Burrows. A guide for authors and artists, and an index to species are also included.
