Zur Begleitung in die Fynbos-Region am Kap. Mit einer umfassenden Orientierung über 400 Wildblumen und Zusatzinformationen über Vögel, Insekten, Spinnen, Reptilien und Säugetiere.

Description:

This easy-to-use guide is an indispensable companion for visitors who wish to discover and explore the biodiversity of the Cape Fynbos region.

Introductory chapters provide a background to the geology and vegetation types of the Cape Floral Region and offer a glimpse of the birds, insects, spiders, reptiles and mammals that make their home here.

In the main section, more than 400 fynbos flowers, shrubs and trees are illustrated and described, with information on the plant's common and scientific names, habitat, distribution map, flowering times and local uses.

Similar species are placed together to aid comparison and the concise text highlights their differences. An ingenious quick guide helps the reader to identify plants at a glance.

Finally, a comprehensive travel adviser and map highlighting recommended destinations and routes are invaluable aids for planning a trip to the area.

The Cape Floral Region

The Cape's mountains - or to give them their proper name, the Cape Fold Mountains - lie at the southern tip of Africa as ranges paralleling the western and southern Cape coastlines.

These ranges, together with the valleys between, and the plains reaching from their feet to the sea, cover only a relatively tiny part of the whole continent.

So distinct is their natural vegetation, though, that it has long been recognised as one of the world's six Floral Kingdoms - the Cape Floral Kingdom.

The over 9 000 different plant species growing naturally in this small area make up the Cape Flora, and nearly 70 per cent of them are found nowhere else in the world.

This area is now generally called the Cape Floral Region. The way these mountains break up the landscape, and the types of rocks that form their backbones, have played a major role in the evolution of this unique assemblage of plants.

The rocks that give the Cape mountains their rugged character are sandstones and quartzites, both of them part of a series of rock formations originally laid down as sediments under a vast sea that once covered this part of the ancient world.

The first of the sediments gave rise to the Table Mountain series of sandstones, the rocks that are so now so obvious on the high slopes of most of the Cape mountains. A second lot of sediments produced the much softer Bokkeveld shales that make up the low slopes and valleys, where they have been exposed after millions of years of erosion. The last sediments formed the erosion-resistant Witteberg quartzites, in some places now exposed on the crest of some mountain ranges, like the Witteberg mountains themselves.

Near Cape Town, and in the Swartland further north, another, even more ancient type of shale has been exposed - Malmesbury shale - which forms the gently rolling landscape of what is now largely wheatland. Almost as old are the outcrops of Cape granite that characterise the Cape West coast all the way from the Peninsula to St Helena Bay. Far more recent geological formations are the low limestone hills along parts of the west and southern coastlines, as well as the windblown sand covering the coastal plains.

There would not be any mountains here were it not for the cataclysmic events that followed the laying down of the sediments which formed the Table Mountain Group of sandstones, shales and quartzites between 450 and 340 million years ago. At this time, the continent of Africa did not exist. What is now the Cape was not at the tip of any continent, but just an undifferentiated part somewhere in the middle of the ancient super-continent, Gondwana.

From about 280 million years ago, immense forces buckled and broke the earth's crust here along fault lines which were later to mark the coastline of the Cape, as Gondwana began to fragment into the southern hemisphere continents with which we are familiar today. Unimaginably immense forces over aeons inexorably compressed and pushed up kilometres-thick slabs of rock until they buckled or broke. In the process, the Cape mountains were born.

Over the ages that followed, these were eroded to form the landscapes we see here today. The folding of the sedimentary rocks of the Cape is spectacularly shown in the rock strata of many of the Cape mountains and easily seen on the northern side of the Swartberg Pass and in Sewe Week's Poort near Ladismith, as well as in Cogman's Kloof near Montagu.

The vegetation

A climate with dry summers, the broken landscape of the Cape, and the sandy soils resulting from the weathering of the sandstone and quartzite rocks exposed on the Cape mountains, have been largely responsible for the evolution of the wealth of fynbos plants we see around us today.

These plants are adapted to thrive on the exceptionally poor soils of the mountains, to withstand summer drought, and to respond to the periodic fires that are a natural part of their environment. Fynbos is the natural plant cover of about 50 per cent of the extent of the Cape Floral Region, with other vegetation types distributed on the rest.

Fynbos is found on all the mountains where the soils are derived from weathered sandstone or quartzite, but also covers the originally windblown sands of the coastal plains, as well as the limestone hills along the coast. A closely related vegetation type, renosterveld, is easily distinguished by [...]

About the authors:

Colin Paterson-Jones is a nature photographer and writer well known for his photographs of southern Africa's wild flowers and pristine natural environments. In addition to two hiking guides, he has written and illustrated a range of popular books on wildflowers, and has illustrated several authoritative books on the flora of the region.

John Manning is a research botanist at the National Botanical Institute in Cape Town and is a world authority on the iris and hyacinth families.

Example:

Drosanthemum hispidum
Mesemb family
Roadside Dewflower (E), Douvygie (A) (Latin hispidus, bristly, referring to the stems)

Erect or spreading shrublet up to 60 cm high with red branches often covered with short, stiff hairs. Leaves sausage-shaped, covered with small bladder cells. Flowers solitary, magenta, 15 mm wide. Fruits with 5 segments.

Flowering: September to January
Habitat: Pioneer of disturbed, dry flats and lower slopes.

Drosanthemum speciosum
Mesemb family
Scarlet Dewflower (E), Rooi Douvygie (A) (Latin speciosus, showy)

Twiggy shrublet up to 60 cm high with short, stiff hairs on the branches. Leaves sausage-shaped and covered with small bladder cells. Flowers in small clusters, orange to red with a whitish centre, fringed with small black petals, 30-40 mm wide. Fruits with 5 segments.

Flowering: September to November
Habitat: Dry shale hillsides in succulent scrub
Notes: Locally common between Robertson and Montagu. Usually in colonies; spectacular when in flower.

Gibbaeum pubescens
Mesemb family
Visbekvygie (A)
(Latin pubescens, shortly hairy, referring to the leaves)

Succulent perennial forming compact cushions. Leaves in pairs, covered with white or silvery velvety hairs, unequal in size, one larger, somewhat cylindrical, up to 3 cm long, and a smaller one about one-third as long. Flowers solitary, pale to deep purple, to 15 mm wide. Fruits with 6 segments.

Flowering: June to August.
Habitat: White quartz flats.
Notes: Eaten by ostriches in times of drought.
