Flora of Mozambique

Welcome to the August 2010 update of the Flora of Mozambique website!

This site provides information about the flowering plants and ferns of Mozambique. This is a sister site to the Flora of Zimbabwe web site and like that site is a joint venture between Bart Wursten and myself.

David Gwynne-Evans - a new contributor

We would like to welcome another another contributor to the Mozambique flora website, David Gwynne-Evans of Cape Town. David recently visited Inhaca Island and Mount Mabu and has kindly made available images of many plants from those locations. As a start, we highlight Tritonia moggii, a endemic to southern Mozambique.

The Site history page gives details of the latest additions to the site. There is also a Frequently Asked Questions page.
