In part two there is a wealth of information on the often colourful and adventurous travellers, soldiers, missionaries, VOC officials and master gardeners, naturalists and professional collectors attracted to this fascinating country of exceptional floral diversity awaiting exploration. With its 3 300 odd entries, about half of which are provided with biographical notes, and with 440 portraits, contemporary illustrations and handwriting of the more illustrious collectors, and those who have followed them up to the present day, this is a permanent source of reference, not only for botanists, but for historians and Africana collectors as well. A valuable reference work but at the same time a pleasant and fascinating book for browsing, full of surprises, for all those interested in the exploration of Southern Africa in general over a period of more than three centuries. A lifetime's study, gathering information which has not been brought together anywhere else, is offered to you in this book.".
