Namaqualand: South African Wild Flower Guide 1 (Revised Edition)

Namaqualand: South African Wild Flower Guide 1 (Revised Edition) is one of the classic field guides to the spectacular spring wildflowers of South Africa’s Namaqualand region. Written by renowned botanists Annelise le Roux and Ted Schelpe, with outstanding colour photography by Zelda Wahl, this beautifully illustrated guide introduces readers to one of the world’s richest and most celebrated floral kingdoms.

Produced as part of the South African Wild Flower Guide series, Namaqualand: South African Wild Flower Guide 1 was developed in collaboration with the Botanical Society of South Africa and the National Botanic Gardens, making it an authoritative reference for botanists, naturalists, hikers, photographers and anyone planning a flower-viewing trip through the Northern Cape. The guide provides concise descriptions of many of the region’s most recognisable flowering plants, together with clear colour photographs that aid identification in the field.

The revised edition remains highly sought after by collectors of South African botanical literature as well as travellers wishing to identify the remarkable annual displays that transform Namaqualand after winter rains. Compact enough to accompany you on excursions, yet detailed enough to serve as a valuable reference at home, Namaqualand: South African Wild Flower Guide 1 is an essential addition to any library focused on South African flora, indigenous plants, veld flowers or conservation.

Whether purchased as a practical field guide or as part of a comprehensive botanical collection, Namaqualand: South African Wild Flower Guide 1 continues to be regarded as one of the definitive introductions to the extraordinary biodiversity of Namaqualand and the Cape Floristic Region.
