About this title

Synopsis

This book provides an expansive look into the history and development of the genus Ornithogalum, a group of plants native to the Cape of Good Hope. The author provides detailed descriptions of 50 species of Ornithogalum, illustrated with 50 accompanying hand-colored plates. The text establishes the morphology, ecology, and taxonomy of each species, as well as their evolutionary relationships to one another. The author also delves into the historical context of the genus, exploring its role in traditional medicine and its significance to the indigenous people of the Cape. This comprehensive examination of the Ornithogalum genus will be of great value to botanists, horticulturists, and anyone interested in the natural history of the Cape of Good Hope.
