Welcome to the main entry page. The purpose of this part of the site is to provide detailed information about the vascular plant species of the Mozambique flora.
All families, genera and species which are purely cultivated in Mozambique are excluded. Checklists of cultivated plants are available on the List of cultivated plants page.
There are 3 columns of information.
It must be emphasised that, unlike the Zimbabwe flora site, the list of taxa on the Mozambique site is significantly incomplete.
