Product Description
Product Description
This field guide introduces the little-documented world of parasitic and carnivorous plants, a category of flora that is often overlooked. The author explains how these unusual plants grow and reproduce, and why they are dependent on other species in order to flourish. He outlines the methods of entry by parasitic plants into their host plants; and describes the most spectacular and successful carnivorous plant varieties around the world. Species accounts show over 40 parasitic and carnivorous plants that are more commonly found in southern Africa. A distribution map and photograph accompany each species. This beginners' guide to parasitic and carnivorous plants is part of a series of first field guides for young people or for those with a budding interest in any of the 22 topics covered across the series.
