Relying on many contributors of specimens and descriptions from colonial South Africa - and building on the foundations laid by Carl Peter Thunberg, whose Flora Capensis [tel] is also reissued in this series - they published the first three volumes between 1860 and 1865. These were reprinted unchanged in 1894, and from 1896 the project was supervised by William Thiselton-Dyer [tel], director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. A final supplement appeared in 1933. Reissued now in ten parts.
