A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following work has been written for the purpose of assisting the study of plant ecology and botanical survey work inN atal. The Handbook published by the lateD r. Medley Wood is now no longer up to date, and is also out of print, and his Revised List, with its supplements, is also incomplete, as well as difficult to procure. A general ecological account of theN atal vegetation, to a large extent compiled from my own previous writings has been prepared, and it was intended that it should be included as part of the present work, but for various reasons it has been thought advisable to defer publication of this part of the manuscript. This has enabled the main section to be published in a more compact form. Ecological notes have been added in the case of the principal species to the records of distribution. Care has been taken to make the latter as complete and accura.e as possible. Various Zulu names have also been included. The wotks enumerated in theB ibliography have been consulted throujhout, and due acknowledgment of indebtedness must be madt in particular toM edley Wood svarious lists, to the Flora Capensis, toE ngler sF flanzenfamilien, and Thonner sF lowering Pants of A frica. In the key to the families the last mentionec work was found particularly helpful, since, after due consideraion, it was decided that the main principles of sub-division adopted by Thonner were more useful and easier to follow than any that could be substituted, without departing altogether from the natural system. The main groups are decided by the characters of the perianth, and the sub-divisions by the characters of the ovary and ovules. In many cases where there is a likelihood of mistakes being made, the family is included under more than one civision. The keys gren in the Flora Capensis have also been drawn upon freely. Considerable simplication throughout has been rend
