International, Nairobi ISBN: 1-904722-28-8
This 248 page pocket book
describes and illustrates many
of the important, common or conspicuous wildflowers and trees
likely to be met with on safari. Treatment of individual species,
themselves arranged on an ecological basis, follows a format
that begins with a description of the plant and its geographical
and ecological distribution. Inclusion of the uses of these wild
plants, which are often part of ancient traditions and cultural
heritage, adds to the overall interest of the book.
