Abstract
EUROPEAN gardens owe so much to South Africa for the plants which adorn them that the appearance of a South African Botanical Magazine is an event of considerable interest. Dr. I. B. Pole Evans, the energetic Director of the Botanical Survey of South Africa, who is editing “The Flowering Plants of South Africa,” is to be congratulated on this new venture to bring the treasures of the South African flora to the notice of a wider public. In the preface it is stated that the publication is due to the keenness and interest of a South African lady, “whose love for her country and its natural beauties has been the means of procuring the necessary funds for the initiation of the work.” The plants illustrated will represent so far as possible the flowering plants of the several provinces of the Union of South Africa.
