A total of 88 species are covered. Three contributors have written chapters in their own specialist fields. 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. The authors travelled more than 70,000k through all the mentioned countries to track down all but one of the species described in this book, this sorting out some of the nomenclatural problems with which tree-lovers are faced in this part of Africa.
