ISBN 9781875093618. Clivia is a truly cosmopolitan genus that is cultivated on almost all continents of the world.

Clivia: Nature and Nurture, has been written with the layman in mind and clearly identifies and characterises all the species in one volume, describing all varieties, habitats, distribution, ecology and endemism. This title emphasises the South African origins, ecology and habitat of the genus, particularly for the overseas reader. For each species the treatment presents information on diagnostic characters, history, morphological variation, natural habitat, geographical range and conservation status. Identification keys and distribution maps are provided. Also provides practical information on growing the genus..
