About the website

This is one of six e-flora websites, which describe the floras of Botswana, Caprivi, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe and which together cover the Flora Zambesiaca area. We also have sister sites about Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, which together cover the Flore d' Afrique Centrale area.

The principal contributors to the site are Bart Wursten, Petra Ballings, Meg Coates Palgrave✝ and Mark Hyde.

The Site history page gives an overview of site development. There is also a Frequently Asked Questions page.

Flora Zambesiaca

FZ volumes

The Flora Zambesiaca project has been the principal source of information for our project, particularly the keys, descriptions and images. It has been an invaluable tool to enable us to identify the many plant specimens we have recorded and collected and has been one of the most important sources to teach us the botanical skills we have acquired.

Further information about Flora Zambesiaca can be found at this link.

The picture shows the much-used and now dog-eared volumes which accompany us on our field trips.
