Arranged by groups of related families, the handbook offers keys down to species level. Descriptions of families and genera in addition to the species fill this highly readable text. All plants are carefully photographed in their natural habitat to show off their important botanical features and help with identification. Also included are introductory sections on climate, geology, and vegetation. Wildflowers of the Fairest Cape is at once a scientifically accurate guide and a beautiful presentation of the Cape Floral Kingdom.
