Cycads of Africa - Goode, Douglas & Comrie-Greig, John (ed)

This monograph by Douglas Goode is the most complete review of the genus Encephalartos published to date and includes all 50 known species of this distinctively African group as well as the sole living representative of the genus Stangeria. It includes a single species of Cycas endemic to Madagascar, but introduced to East Africa by Arab traders centuries ago. Each species account is accompanied by three meticulously detailed full-colour plates, showing the plant in its natural habitat, details of leaf and cone-scale structure, and the diagnostic features of the male and female cones. Hard to find these days.
