QR code
"The Flowering Plants of South Africa; vol. 1" edited by I. B. Pole Evans is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1921. The work serves as a magazine that features hand-coloured figures alongside descriptions of flowering plants indigenous to South Africa. It likely aims to promote awareness and cultivation of these unique species, which have historical significance in horticulture. At the start of the volume, the
editor outlines the historical context of South African plant cultivation, noting its popularity in European gardens dating back to the Dutch settlement. The preface emphasizes the resurgence of interest in indigenous flora, mentioning both well-known and lesser-known plants, and encourages the public to appreciate and cultivate them. It also discusses the artistic contributions of Miss K. A. Lansdell for the illustrations and recognizes the essential support received from local enthusiasts in bringing this publication to fruition. This opening portion sets the tone for a blend of botanical science and artistry, aimed at cultivating a deeper appreciation for South Africa's rich botanical heritage.
