Inundated with queries fom visitors to Kirstenbosch about the best places in which to see and enjoy succulents in their natural environment, Ernst van Jaarsveld was prompted to write this user-friendly book for the amateur succulent enthusiast. maximising the expertise of Ben-Erik van Wyk - Professor of Botany at RAU and Gideon Smith - Professor and Reseach Director of the National Botanical Institute, Ernst van Jaarsveld has compiled this guide to the succulents and succulent regions of South Africa.

Here South Africa has been divided into 16 geographical regions, each with its own succulent gems highlighted and illustrated. Aside from proferring a wealth of information on the plants themselves, this book offers the reader useful advice on places to visit and which routes to follow throughout each region, in order to fully appreciate each area's succulent diversity.

Elize Bodley's hand-painted plates and Erns van Jaarsvelds and Ben-Ek van Wyk's photographs beautifully illustrate this complex and interesting ecological grouping of the plants, and the regions in which they grow."
