This site provides information about the flowering plants and ferns of Botswana. This is one of 6 e-floras which cover the Flora Zambesiaca area in south-central Africa. Five countries are now covered, namely Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The 6th e-flora deals with the Caprivi Strip, which is part of Namibia.
The principal contributors to the site are Bart Wursten, Petra Ballings, Meg Coates Palgrave✝ and Mark Hyde.
Further information is available on the Frequently Asked Questions page.
The Flora Zambesiaca project has been the principal source of information for our project, particularly the keys, descriptions and images. It has been an invaluable tool to enable us to identify the many plant specimens we have recorded and collected and has been one of the most important sources to teach us the botanical skills we have acquired. Further information about Flora Zambesiaca can be found at this link. The picture shows the much-used and now dog-eared volumes which accompany us on our field trips. |
