Struik Nature het pas Proteas of the Fynbos deur John Manning, ‘n internasionaal gerekende botanis en skrywer, gepubliseer. Hierdie indrukwekkende gids beslaan 200 bladsye en is gevul met pragfoto’s deur Colin-Paterson Jones.
Die uitgewersbrief lui: “Proteas are South Africa’s wildflower celebrities: the King Protea is emblazoned on the National Coat of Arms and our proteas give their name to the country’s cricket team. A total of 330 protea species are found in the fynbos of the Cape Floristic Region – the botanical treasure house at the southern tip of Africa. Proteas of the Fynbos features 165 of the region’s more common or showy species, with pointers to many more. Each species account details diagnostic features, flowering times, habitats and distribution, while colour photographs showcase the beauty and diversity of this charismatic plant group. An informative introduction explores the biology, pollination, origin and conservation status of fynbos proteas, and highlights features to aid identification. Arranged in clearly depicted groups and subgroups for easy identification, this innovative guide enables flower enthusiasts to confidently identify over half of all fynbos protea species.”
Natuurliefhebbers kan hulle verlustig aan hierdie pragpublikasie. Mens voel lus en gaan op ‘n verkenningstog op soek na proteas wanneer jy deur hierdie omvangryke gids blaai. Ek beveel dit heelhartig aan.
