Flora of Mozambique

Welcome to the February 2009 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.

Cynorkis buchananii, a new record for Mozambique

Cynorkis buchananii

In April 2008, I went on a brief visit to the Gurue plateau in the Zambezia province of northern Mozambique. It is an impressive isolated range of hills, topped by the spectacular Mt Namuli, a monolith rising to 2419m.

Information about the website

As of today, Saturday, 4 July 2009, there are images for 935 species.

This site uses the same database as the Zimbabwe flora site and much of the information on that site can be used directly on this site. Some of the facilities (such as the ability to map species by QDS) are not yet available on the Mozambique site.

A sample of recently updated species with their associated images may be found on this page.

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