 The revised edition of Succulent flora of southern Africa deals with the six major groups of succulent plants occurring in southern Africa, and, as such, is still the only comprehensive work to do so. It covers the Mesembryanthemaceae, Portulacaceae, Crassulaceae, the succulent Euphorbieae, Stapeliae and Aloaceae, as well as a short chapter on Adenium Pachypodium and Adenia. This new edition includes revisions of genera and descriptions of new species which have been published from 1980 to 2000. Both the text coloured illustration are extended. Research by the author was carried out at the Bolus Herbarium at the University of Cape Town and the Botany Department at Stellenbosch University; plant investigation was done in the field, at private collections and at the Karoo Botanic Garden at Worcester. Wherever it is practicable, the species are arranged geographically with closely related species in sequence; descriptions of species are generally comparitive, and the latest references to revisionary work are given in the text. Locality description recognises the new provincial boundaries in South Africa. A glossary defines the botanical terms which are essential to adequate descriptions of the species. This work is intended to contribute to the knowledge of these very specialised plants. |
