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 a remarkable diversity of species, including many endemics. Plants of the Baviaanskloof describes well over 1,000 plant species. It includes: An introduction covering the geological history, climate and vegetation types of the region. Detailed family and genus descriptions, including species counts. Succinct descriptions of each plant species with full-colour photographs. Species common names in several South African languages (where available). Compiled over more than 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 for botanists, gardeners, road-trippers, hikers, travellers and all who have a deep interest in plants.
