The Aizoaceae -The Mesembs of South Africa They are the largest, and at the same time one of the most colourful and bizarre succulent families of the world: the Mesembs, also known as the Aizoaceae. These robust plants are mainly found in the winter-rain zones of South Africas Cape region. In addition to the plants unique ecology, the book describes their botany, economic importance and cultivation in the garden, together with pests and diseases. Well-known representatives include the fascinating living stones, but it is not just these which attract many plant enthusiasts to this family. The book is written in a clear and succinct style, with a glossary of technical terms. The focus of the book, with its text given in both German and French, is on the descriptions of the species. An indispensable standard reference for collectors.
