Abstract
THIS important book is primarily an elaboration of the botanical results of the author's travels in southern Africa in 1928 and 1930, though it contains much more than the simple title suggests. Dr. Hutchinson has drawn on his wide knowledge of flowering plants, his long acquaintance with the special problems associated with African (and particularly South African) taxonomy, his keen interest in phytogeography, his artistic ability, and his experience in the field to produce a noteworthy and, in some respects, unique volume.
