"In 1933 a mere 13 species of Encephalartos were recognised south of the Limpopo River: The phenomenal interest shown in the the African cycads has produced no fewer than 50 new species over the last 60 years. the number of southern African species has more than doubled, while northwards through Central Africa exciting new Encephelartos species are being recorded. Since Cycads of Africa was first published in 1989 the need for a new up-to-date work on these fascinating plants has become essential.
Cycads Volume 1 is a complete reference work on the genus Encephalartos and includes all known species of this distinctly African group as well as the genus Stangeria and one species of Cycas.
As the chapters of each species account unfolds, you will travel through Africa looking at Cycads as never before. This detailed journey begins on the fringes of the arid Karoo where plants of E. lehmannii and E. horridus occur, to as far north as Ghana where E. barterri grows. In this book you will find the dwarf cycad E. humilis and the very impressive giant cycad from the Democratic Republic of Congo, including many more never before published species."
