Checklist of the Flowering Plants of Sub-Saharan Africa – An Index of Accepted Names and Synonyms by R.R. Klopper et al.

Checklist of the Flowering Plants of Sub-Saharan Africa: An Index of Accepted Names and Synonyms is one of the most important modern botanical reference works covering the vascular flora of Sub-Saharan Africa. Compiled by R.R. Klopper and an international team of botanical specialists, this authoritative volume serves as a comprehensive taxonomic checklist of accepted scientific names together with their recognised synonyms, making it an indispensable research tool for botanists, taxonomists, conservationists, environmental consultants, herbaria, universities and serious plant enthusiasts.

Published in 2006 as Southern African Botanical Diversity Network (SABONET) Report No. 42, the work consolidates an enormous body of botanical knowledge from across the African continent. Rather than being an illustrated field guide, Checklist of the Flowering Plants of Sub-Saharan Africa is a detailed scientific reference designed to assist with accurate plant identification, nomenclature, herbarium curation, biodiversity assessments and academic research. It remains an important resource for anyone working with African flowering plants and plant taxonomy.

This substantial hardcover volume weighs approximately 3.5 kg and is well produced for intensive reference use. Copies are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, particularly in such well-preserved condition, making Checklist of the Flowering Plants of Sub-Saharan Africa an attractive acquisition for research libraries, museums, botanical institutions and collectors of African natural history literature.
