Reissued in ten parts, originally published 1894–1933, this botanical catalogue covers over 11,500 species of plant in South Africa.
This seminal publication began life as a collaborative effort between the Irish botanist William Henry Harvey (1811?66) and his German counterpart Otto Wilhelm Sonder (1812?81). Relying on many contributors of specimens and descriptions from colonial South Africa - and building on the foundations laid by Carl Peter Thunberg, whose Flora Capensis (1823) is also reissued in this series - they published the first three volumes between 1860 and 1865. These were reprinted unchanged in 1894, and from 1896 the project was supervised by William Thiselton-Dyer (1843?1928), director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. A final supplement appeared in 1933. Reissued now in ten parts, this significant reference work catalogues more than 11,500 species of plant found in South Africa. Volume 5 appeared in three parts, the third comprising sections published between 1912 and 1913, covering Hydrocharideae to Scitamineae.
