Duncan Butchart provides detailed insight into the role that figs play in the lives of birds, animals, and insects; Dr Simon van Noort illuminates the fascinating world of wasps and their involved relationship with figs, while Geoff Nichols covers the cultivation of figs. Introductory chapters provide a general background to the family Moraceae and figs in the African subcontinent. Each indigenous species has a distribution map, a detailed black and white illustration by Dandra Burrows and photographs depicting habitat, bark, leaves, and fruit. A key to the indigenous species in Southern Africa is provided.
