Description:
Kirstenbosch: Botanical Society of South Africa, 1997. Well illustrated, pp 270, lower corners slightly bruised, otherwise clean internally, paperback, the covers with slight signs of use. SCARCE. [Many guides to the Cape Flora have been published over the past two decades - why another and why, specifically, for the Southern Overberg? Firstly, the Southern Overberg, an area of some 3600 sq. km along the south-western Cape coast, is the heart of the lowland fynbos, an ecosystem of immense floral biodiversity but increasingly disappearing under the onslaught of alien plants, agriculture and coastal resort development. Secondly, the region is home to the only substantial reserve network in lowland fynbos: De Hoop Nature Reserve, De Mond Nature Reserve and several private nature reserves. Thirdly, many landowners harvest wildflowers commercially and others are turning to ecotourism to supplement their incomes; for them, a guide to the region's wildflowers is a practical asset.]. Paperback. Good.
