"This book is an attempt to make a few of the flowers which may be found in the Colony more readily recognisable both by the visitor to Southern Rhodesia and by Rhodesians themselves. . . . It is hoped that the colour plates will assist not only in identification of particular flowers, but also in revealing something of the beauty that is to be seen in the veld." .
