She comments: 'Remarkable images of plants created by the most talented of botanical artists are housed in store rooms of botanical institutes and museums. Yet the oil paintings etchings and watercolors of 'fine' artists - depicting the same plants - are located in art galleries. Why are plant portraits classified differently and kept apart Is plant imagery to do with science or with art Do the two 'kinds' of art ever meet This unique and ground-breaking book metaphorically 'peels back the petals' to explore southern African plant portraiture and discovers the meanings ascribed to the genres of 'botanical art' and 'flower painting'. Well known for their botanical and art history contributions authors Marion Arnold Peter Goldblatt John Manning John Rourke and Dee Snijman examine plant portraiture in southern Africa over several centuries. They provide engrossing and sometimes unique revelations on a broad spectrum of issues including species 'discovery' insect pollination biological classification specimen collection plant naming portraiture and the manner and style of artistic representation. The texts are liberally illustrated by works of some of the countless travelers botanists an artists who have so passionately and meticulously recorded South Africa's rich floral heritage.'

This volume is number 1 presented to Fernwood Press Pty Ltd signed by the authors Dolf Schumann and Gerhard Kirsten. 'By far the largest of the genera in the South African flora is Erica: with 657 species to its credit. This fact is all the more remarkable when one considers its distribution. People from Europe need no introduction to their heaths which can splash the countryside with pink. Apart from the true heather Calluna the genus Erica contributes only 21 species to the heath flora of Europe. The bulk of the species of Erica are confined to the southern tip of Africa in a concentration that is not equaled by any other plant group in the world. The array of colors and forms of ericas here in the southern Cape province is both remarkable and overwhelming. In the pages of this volume is a photographic record of more than 450 species of one genus a remarkable feat for a flower book. This is the first time that so many species of Erica have been illustrated in a single work' modified from the foreword p. 9. Vlaeberg, South Africa: Fernwood Press, 1992. Limited edition. hardcover
