List of families (version 1.2)
At the bottom of this page is a list of the families of plants which are to be found in Zimbabwe.
| Siphonochilus decorus, a striking flower in the Zingiberaceae |  |
A list of genera and species which have been recorded in Zimbabwe may be found by selecting the family names.
Family names in italics have been included within other families and the link will take you to the revised family.
An innovation in the 1.2 list is that links to images and other information about a particular family, genus or species have in a few cases been added. Where this has been done, the name will be a link (and hence will appear underlined) and clicking on it will take you to the additional pages.
The rightmost two columns give the FZ volume number (and part in brackets) and the year of publication.
Note that some of the larger families, specifically Asclepiadaceae, Asteraceae, Cyperaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae-Papilionoideae, Lamiaceae, Orchidaceae, Poaceae, Rubiaceae and Scrophulariaceae are relatively large files and will take time to download. Please be patient.
