The site has grown rapidly over the last 2 months with over 900 images having been added.

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, Saturday, 28 January 2012, there are 9885 images for 2728 species, of which 2636 are native or naturalised and 92 are purely cultivated.
The Site history page gives details of the latest additions to the site. There is also a frequently asked questions page.
