The Flora Zambesiaca series, published in over 200 parts, provides comprehensive descriptive accounts of the flowering plants and ferns native and naturalized in Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and the Caprivi Strip. Meticulous botanical illustrations illustrate an example of each genera. This is an essential tool for ecological surveys, as no other publication provides the depth and scope. 

J. R. Timberlake is a botanist based in the Herbarium at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and series editor of Flora Zambesiaca. E. S. Martins is a recently-retired plant taxonomist based at the Herbarium of the Instituto de Investigacao Cientifica Tropical in Lisbon, Portugal.
