Title: Seed Plants of Southern Africa: Families and Genera.
Description: Strelitzia 10. National Botanical Institute. Pretoria 2000 1st edition. Printed blue boards. 775pp A4 format. 2.4kg No inscriptions, 4 square corners, initially appears as a newish copy. However, damp storage has caused some sheets to stick together, we would say, on an occasional+ basis. Most such occurrences can be parted successfully but there are definite instances where this may cause surface tearing to one or the other pages. The rear hinge is parting to muslin, thus needing professional attention. Sold as-is with all faults as a reference copy only. Still very useable despite faults. ISBN: 9781919795515 For the Southern African (Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho, this provides identification keys to all families and genera of seed plants indigenous and naturalised on the subcontinent (227 families of seed plants, about 2180 genera with more than 22000 species). Families and genera are critically described, together with notes on their distribution and size. Chromosome numbers are included in the descriptions. The latest views on relationship of families are reflected by means of dendograms, and the classification of genera within the larger families is given. A comprehensive glossary and index to family and genus names is given.
