This series has replaced Memoirs ofthe Botanical Survey ofSouth
Africa and Annals ofKirstenbosch Botanic Gardens which the NBI
inherited from its predecessororganizations.
The genus Strelitzia occurs naturally in eastern southern Africa. It
comprises three arborescent species, known as wild bananas, and two
acaulescent species, known as crane flowers or bird-of-paradise
flowers. The logo ofthe National Botanical Institute is based on the
striking inflorescence of Strelitzia reginae, a native of the Eastern
Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that has become a garden favourite
worldwide. It symbolizes the commitment ofthe National Botanical
Institute to promote the sustainable use, conservation, appreciation
and enjoyment ofthe exceptionally richplant life ofSouthAfrica, for
the benefit ofall its people.

PREFACE
The Southern African Botanical Diversity Network (SABONET) programme which is aimed at
upgrading and strengthening the level ofbotanical expertise available in the subcontinent, was
formally launched in March 1996. The World Conservation Union’s Regional Office for
Southern Africa, the National Botanical Institute ofSouth Africa (NBI) and colleagues in other
southern African botanical institutions have secured substantial funding for this programme
through the United States Agency for International Development and the Global Environment
Facility/UnitedNations Development Programme. The SABONET project will improve existing
infrastructure and foster closer collaborative links amongst botanists of the subregion.
Substantial emphasis will be placed on training and the building of local capacity in plant
systematics research, the documentation ofplant diversity, and on expansion and improvement
ofherbarium collections.
For a number ofyears the NBI has contributed to the SABONET programme through many of
its projects and initiatives. This book forms part ofthe NBI’s ongoing investment ofresources in
the venture. It will assist in providing plant scientists with a much needed overview ofthe vast
literature available on the rich southern African flora. In this way it will play an important role
in herbarium curation and management, plant identification and the setting of priorities for
future research.
