Photographic Guide to Wildflowers of South Africa by John Manning (2003, paperback) is a richly illustrated field guide that profiles nearly 900 of the most common and striking wildflower species found across South Africa, including Lesotho, Eswatini (Swaziland), and parts of Namibia. The book is structured around three major phytogeographic regions: Grassland and Savannah, Fynbos, and Namaqualand. Each entry includes full-colour photographs taken by renowned photographer Colin Paterson-Jones, along with information on the plant’s scientific and common names, flowering season, habitat, distribution, and, where applicable, local uses.
Designed for ease of use in the field, Photographic Guide To Wildflowers features a quick-reference layout that allows readers to compare similar species and identify key distinguishing features. Plants are grouped by form and floral structure to support accurate identification, and the taxonomy reflects current botanical classifications as of the time of publication.
John Manning, a botanist affiliated with the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), brings deep expertise in indigenous flora, particularly bulbous plants. The compact yet comprehensive format makes the book an indispensable companion for botanists, naturalists, hikers, gardeners, and eco-tourists with an interest in South Africa’s floral diversity.
