Tree Atlas Of Southern Africa / Boomatlas Van Suider-Africa – Section 1

This 1992 hardcover edition of Tree Atlas of Southern Africa is a rare and highly sought-after botanical reference that expertly bridges the English and Afrikaans-speaking audiences of Southern Africa. Authored by renowned dendrologists Fried and Jutta von Breitenbach, this volume represents the first section in a comprehensive series mapping the region’s rich arboreal diversity.

Produced in limited print runs by the National Botanical Institute, this edition is prized for its bilingual format, detailed botanical descriptions, and accurate distribution maps—making it a valuable resource for collectors, botanists, and historians of southern African natural heritage. The hardcover binding preserves its quality, while the rich illustrations and photographs provide visual clarity rarely matched in similar atlases of its time.

Because subsequent sections and reprints are scarce, this volume stands as a foundational and collectible piece for anyone passionate about Southern Africa’s indigenous flora. Its combination of scientific rigor, dual-language accessibility, and limited availability makes it a rare find in both public and private collections.
