The author traveled to Zambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to photograph some of the most obscure and hard to find encephalartos species imaginable. This book is the first color book on these Central African cycads in their habitat and serves as a layman’s guide and a photographic record of those plants visited. Accompanying the photos is descriptive text on distribution, cultivation, leaves and cones, and observations by the author. No attempt has been made to provide a technical botanical description of the plants, but more as a photographic guide and a reference for identification purposes. If you are a cycad hobbyist, you MUST have this book for your library. 220 large format color photos. 2 color maps. 80 pages. 6” x 8-1/4”, softbound, heavy glossy color cover.
