Description and Table of Contents
Description
Fully updated and revised, this third edition features new, simplified keys based on leaf characteristics and incorporates updated names, reclassifications and new species. All known indigenous trees and many naturalized aliens ocurring south of the Zambezi-Cunene rivers are included. Accompanying the tree descriptions are comprehensively revised maps reflecting up-to-date distribution and drawings of a characteristic leaf and/or fruit. Other features include English and Afrikaans common names, notes on medicinal or magical properties and an illustrated glossary, while the colour section, comprising 314 colour photographs, remains unchanged. A comprehensive and user-friendly guide, it should appeal to tree enthusiasts and professional botanists across the sub-continent.
