    • 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.

      This field guide focuses on the wild flowers of the Highveld and surrounding areas. Designed as a practical identification handbook, it aims to help nature-lovers in the field identify the various wild flowers they encounter. The 763 species described in this book are divided into six colour groups, so that colour is the first clue to the flower's identity. Within the colour group the species are organized into families, each defined by its diagnostic characters. Flowers occurring in more than one colour group can be found in each relevant group.
