Trees of Southern Africa by Keith Coates Palgrave, 1990 edition, published by Struik Publishers of Cape Town, is one of the most celebrated and enduring reference works on the region’s arboreal flora. This substantial and richly illustrated volume serves as an authoritative guide to more than 1,000 species of indigenous trees found across southern Africa, from the coastal forests and savannas to the arid interior and mountain slopes.
The 1990 edition represents a thoroughly revised and expanded version of the 1977 original, incorporating updated botanical nomenclature, additional species, and improved distribution data. It includes detailed botanical descriptions, notes on habitat and ecology, and practical information for field identification, all supported by hundreds of line drawings, colour plates, and maps. Palgrave’s accessible yet scholarly style bridges the gap between professional botanists and dedicated amateur naturalists, making the book invaluable both in the field and on the reference shelf.
Keith Coates Palgrave’s Trees of Southern Africa remains a cornerstone of southern African natural history literature. Its comprehensive coverage, visual depth, and scientific precision have secured its reputation as an indispensable resource for botanists, ecologists, foresters, and collectors of Africana. Decades after its publication, it continues to define the standard for regional tree identification.
