This site provides information about the flowering plants and ferns of Botswana.
This is one of six e-flora websites, based on the foundation of Flora Zambesiaca, which describe the floras of Botswana, Caprivi, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe collectively covering the Flora Zambesiaca area. We also have sister sites focusing on Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, together covering the Flore d' Afrique Centrale area.
