Flora of geographical regions

  • Photographic guide to the wild flowers of the Limpopo Province by Sylvie Kremer-Köhne, Strelitzia 44, 2021
  • Field Guide to the Flora of Grootbos Nature Reserve and the Walker Bay region by Sean Privett and Heiner Lutzeyer (2010) includes about 40 well illustrated pages of bulbous monocot species (Walker Bay is west of Cape Agulhas).
  • Previously we listed a link to an online copy of Aloes and Lilies of Ethiopia and Eritrea, which is no longer available, saying “If you were interested in the mountain flora of Ethiopia after Jonathan Hutchinson’s talk at the SABG Spring 2016 meeting (or at Bob Potter’s talk to the Southampton branch of the BCSS in June 2018), have a look at a 358-page book which is available on-line as a 6.5-megabyte PDF file which you can download. Various bulbs, especially Scadoxus, are mentioned in the introduction to the mountain areas on page 22 onwards. Species of various bulbous families are described later in the book.
