Each species is described and illustrated by means of watercolour paintings and habitat photographs of the plants. Most illustrations were prepared by the late Elise Bodley and a few by Lisa Strachan. Distribution maps are included. The book covers the plants’ adaption to arid environments, their distribution in Africa, cultivation and interesting ethnic uses, a historical review of botanical exploration and keys to simplify identification.’ Editor’s note.
