The Levyns Guide to the Plant Genera of the Southwestern Cape. A revised, updated and expanded version of "A Guide to the Flora of the Cape Peninsula", by M. R. Levyns (2003)
EN HCISBN: 9780620304399 bzw. 0620304391, in Englisch, (Cape Town: Bolus Herbarium, University of Cape Town, 2003) 0620304391, gebundenes Buch.
Von Händler/Antiquariat, Christison Rare Books, IOBA SABDA [560699], Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
Contributions from the Bolus Herbarium, Number 21, October, 2003. 8vo; limp, plasticised pictorial boards; endpaper map; pp. 355, incl. index; liberally illustrated with line drawings showing diagnostic features. Fine condition. "The approach to learning to know the Cape flora that Levyns developed in the 1920's may still be the most effective way of coming to grips with this wonderful diversity. Many botanists, both professional and amateur, want a simplified introduction to the Cape flora. The illustrated regional guides published by the Botanical Society of South Africa are excellent for naming the more common species in the various regions, but they do not provide an overall framework within which the flora as a whole can be mastered. The combination of a knowledge of the taxonomic-systematic framework, with a more detailed species knowledge for particular areas or families might be the most effective way of dealing with these huge numbers of species. This new book is admirably suited for this role. In extending the area originally covered by Levyns to include the mountains of the South Western Cape, as well as the rich limestone coastal plains of the Bredasdorp district, this book is so much more useful than its predecessor. The classification is presented, not only as a bare structure, but with descriptions of the various groups and clusters, and with the critical features illustrated and described.".
