Fine condition. "In this book, artist Joan van Gogh illustrates the magnificent trees and shrubs of the Witwatersrand, Magaliesberg and Pilanesberg - a highly populated area, long-neglected by botanical writers, yet surprisingly rich in its indigenous tree life. The 150 vivid and accurate colour paintings are supplemented by field data, carefully compiled over the past fifteen years by Joan van Gogh and leading palaeobotanist, Dr John Anderson of the Botanical Research Institute. The text covers the characteristic features of the bark, leaves, fruit and flowers of each of the 159 indigenous species known to occur in the area. The accounts include distribution and habitat maps; habit sketches; an indication of the plant's height and items of general interest."
