Strelitzias of the World (R445) by Himansu Baijnath and Patricia McCracken is published by the Durban Botanic Gardens Trust. The book features more than 200 historic and contemporary illustrations of these much-loved plants.
A number of the illustrations were taken from our own Botanical Art Exhibition earlier this year and feature artworks by several BAASA members.
