Additional Information

Southern African Ferns And Fern Allies is an important new publication which represents the culmination of eighteen years of fern collecting throughout southern Africa and into the remotest corners of this subcontinent. It is a comprehensive work covering all 343 known species of the region and including also some of the naturalised introduced species. The text is easily readable, scientifically correct, and has been carefully vetted by experienced pteridologists.

Every species is illustrated with excellent colour photography and there are over 800 individual line illustrations, showing salient diagnostic characteristics and providing extensive insight into this fascinating group of plants. Until now available literature has not been easy to follow o interpret, especially for the layman, making the identification and study of ferns a very difficult task, but this comprehensive new book, so magnificent illustrated, has opened up this interesting botanical field in a new way, providing what has long been needed.
