Description
The Somalia flora is very rich in comparison with other arid areas in Africa. Published in four volumes, the 'Flora of Somalia' provides the first comprehensive account of all the vascular plants known to occur in the region, and is a foundation stone for all plant related research in the country. Volume 3 - the final part to be published - completes the angiosperms, and includes an index to all of the genera described in the four volumes. With 404 line illustrations and 24 colour photos.
