Book search
« on: September 16, 2016, 07:34:25 AM »
Does anyone know of any books on the Acacia or Mimosa genera, or the Mimosoideae in general? There is a book I haven't checked out that is a field guide to acacias, but only those of South Africa. I'm still searching. Do you know this unknown book that I'm trying to find?

Hey Chlorophyll B,

Are you looking for a dedicated field guide or more of a reference-style book? Should the book be specific to a particular area/region?

Is the field guide you're referring to Davidson and Jeppe (1981), Acacias A field guide to the Acacias of Southern Africa? I have a hard-copy of this and think I did scan it at some point. I've handy reference is Ross (1979), A conspectus of the African acacia species, although this is specific to African Acacias.
