The Moraeas of Southern Africa: A Systematic Monograph of the Genus in South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Transkei, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe (Annals of Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens N°14) was published in 1986 by the National Botanic Gardens (in association with the Missouri Botanical Garden).
In this large-format monograph, Goldblatt offers the definitive treatment of the genus Moraea (family Iridaceae) across southern Africa. The book presents detailed taxonomic keys, species descriptions, distribution maps, line drawings, and full-page colour watercolour illustrations by Fay Anderson. Its geographic span covers the major habitats and regionsfrom the Cape flora to the escarpment and arid zonesgiving readers a comprehensive understanding of the diversity, systematics and ecology of this important group of flowering plants.
For botanists, horticulturalists and collectors of African natural-history literature, The Moraeas Of Southern Africa stands out for its scholarly rigour, high-quality production and regional focus. Its enduring relevance lies in both its scientific contribution to Iridaceae taxonomy and its role as a visual and bibliographic landmark in southern African botanical publishing.
