The Genus Lachenalia: A Botanical Magazine Monograph

 Author(s) Graham Duncan 
 Publisher Kew Publishing, 2012
 Description  "For the outstanding photos and paintings alone this substantial book is worth buying" S. African Journal of Botany 87 (2013) 25-26

This is the first complete and illustrated monograph of the genus Lachenalia, a horticulturally important and botanically diverse plant group. Lachenalia ranks with Gladiolus as one of the two most popular genera of South African bulbous plants worldwide, and next to Ornithogalum is the second-largest member of the family Hyacinthaceae in southern Africa.
All species are described, classified and illustrated, with detailed text on history, morphology, phylogeny, phytogeography, pollination biology, cultivation and propagation. This book includes many highly attractive species which have never been illustrated in colour before, with 11 new taxa, ten of which are new species.

650pp. 300+ photos. 135 maps. Hardback.

ISBN: 9781842463826
