Southern African Trees: A Photographic Guide (Photographic Guides) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

The aim of this book is to present approximately 250 of Southern Africa's most commonly seen trees in a clear and succinct way. Clear colour photographs show the characteristics of the trees as they are most typically seen, and, where necessary, these photographs will be supplemented by photographs of the flowers, fruit, leaves and/or bark of the tree if these provide useful identification criteria. Thumbnail silhouettes of leaf shapes are used to lead the reader to the most likely group or family of trees and thus eliminate some of the confusion that arises in trying to identify trees to species' level. The text highlights only those points necessary for identification while distribution maps pinpoint the areas in which the trees occur.
