Product Description
Protea is a spectacular introduction to the fascinating protea family in southern Africa. The title covers all of the protea groups, their origins, distribution, and the habitats and regions in which they occur. A section on evolution highlights species that are closely related, as well as those that are rare or threatened. An exciting chapter on exploration and discovery reveals recent Proteaceae discoveries, as well as the rediscovery of species previously considered extinct. The photographs show the many faces of the protea family - from the soft palettes of the blusing bride, Serruria florida, to the vibrant red shades of the king protea, Protea cynariodes. |
