Restios Of The Fynbos.

Els Dorrat-Haaksma; H. Peter Linder. RESTIOS of the Fynbos.  Cape Town: Struik, 2012. Revised and Updated Edition .
This field guide to the Restionaceae, or Cape reeds, commonly called restios, unpacks a unique family of fynbos plants found at the southern tip of South Africa. Beautifully illustrated with photographs and over 400 colour images (scanned from living plants), this new edition of Els Dorrat-Haaksma's respected guide has now been revised, updated and freshly designed for greater ease of use. It will help demystify restios, a less known component of the fynbos one that has in recent years become increasingly popular with gardeners and landscape designers as restios find their rightful place amongst the 'architectural' plants. It will be welcomed by all nature lovers, whether tourists, hikers, gardeners or botanists (both amateur and professional).
This Guide Includes: How restios function and their role in the fynbos - Explicit overview of the basic botanical features of restio plants - Representative examples of all African genera, including all Cape Peninsula species - Simple comparative tables or keys, for easy identification - Concise information for growing restios.
216 pp., beautifully illustrated with colour images. Actual plants were scanned with the use of a unique 3D scanner.
