The Flora Zambesiaca project has been the principal source of information for our project, particularly the keys, descriptions and images. It has been an invaluable tool to enable us to identify the many plant specimens we have recorded and collected and has been one of the most important sources to teach us the botanical skills we have acquired. Further information about Flora Zambesiaca can be found at this link. The picture shows the much-used and now dog-eared volumes which accompany us on our field trips. |
