[IBC] South African Ficus book
I have the following from the Fat Plants list. This is all I know.
Billy on the Florida Space Coast Greetings, * * * ** I have been in contact with a gentleman from South Africa that self-publishes books on South African trees.* The contact was made via an e-mail received by another member - Rick Beyer. * * * ** I wrote to the gentleman and offered to post something on Fat Plants regarding his books.* I am posting his reply.* I am quite sure that his mailing address is: * * * ** Marthinus H.Steyn * * * ** 10 Coniston Close * * * ** Bendor Place * * * ** Pietersburg 0699 * * * ** South Africa * * * * * * * ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Jerry Thanks for your offer to advertise my book in Fat Plants. I am not sure whether you want me to send you a ready-made description to include in Fat Plants as such or a description which you can work from. I shall do my best by giving the information which I think you can use. Let me try to send you a copy of a typical page as per attachment. In all three books the approach is to have color photographs accompanied by the text applicable to each photograph. The photographs show life-size pictures where possible of the different features of the plant which will aid identification e.g. tree form, bark structure, both sides of the leaf, fruit and/or the seed, distribution charts, flowering time. The books on Ficus and the one on Combretums and Terminalia are of A4 format and are applicable to South Africa. They are bilingual including Afrikaans. The book on Commiphora is of A5 format. Kind regards Marthinus SA FICUS IDENTIFICATION GUIDE FOR WILD FIGS IN S.A. Author: Marthinus Steyn. First published in 1996. ISBN 0-620-19905-9. Includes all known 24 species in South Africa plus a few common exotic ones(8). 32 pages plus cover, full color, A4 format. Photograph of the tree to show the shape, bark structure, lifesize photographs of the leaves and fruit. Distribution map. Bilingual including Afrikaans. Price: U.S.$8 plus $5 airmail postage in U.S $ or S.A. Rands. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Dale Cochoy++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
