About the book: 
Tucked away in the southwestern corner of the Eastern Cape lies a narrow valley, flanked by the Baviaanskloof and Kouga mountain ranges. Named after the chacma baboons that long ago made this 200-km-long kloof their home, the Baviaanskloof is part of the Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site. It is a meeting point of several different ecosystems, with almost all of South Africa’s eight biomes represented, making for an exceptional diversity of species, including many endemics.
 
Plants of the Baviaanskloof  describes well over 1,000 plant species. It includes:
  • Succinct descriptions of each plant species with full-colour photographs
  • Brief family and genus descriptions, and species counts for the area
An introduction covering the geology, climate and vegetation types of the region Compiled over two decades, Plants of the Baviaanskloof  is sure to become an enduring record of the diversity of plant life found here. The only botanical guide for this area, it is a must-have for botanists, gardeners, road-trippers, hikers, travellers and all who have a deep interest in plants.
