Flora of Zimbabwe
New Flora of Zambia website
The Flora of Zimbabwe team are pleased to announce a new website about the flowering plants and ferns of Zambia. This website is being created in collaboration with Mike Bingham and Annette Willemen and may be found at this link. The site is still in its early stages with data collection still in progress but we expect it to grow rapidly in the following weeks.

About the website
This site is work in progress towards an e-flora of Zimbabwe and is a joint venture between Bart Wursten, Mark Hyde and Petra Ballings. We expect that it will also be useful for people living in neighbouring countries, namely Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia as parts of their flora are similar to that of Zimbabwe.
As of today, Thursday, 17 May 2012, there are 11792 images for 2891 species, of which 2772 are native or naturalised and 119 are purely cultivated.
The Site history page gives details of the latest additions to the site. There is also a frequently asked questions page.
