More on this Book

The Republic of Sudan and the recently seceded Republic of South Sudan (henceforth referred together as Sudan) together cover a vast area of tropical northeast Africa, ranging from hyper-arid desert in the north to rainforest and extensive wetlands in the south, and contain a diverse flora estimated at c. 4000 species. This is the first publication dedicated to the flora of this region. This up to date comprehensive checklist provides a baseline reference for all future botanical and conservation work in the Sudan region. In addition to the checklist, a preliminary list of globally threatened plant species, their habitats and distribution within the region is included, which will provide conservationists, land management agencies, and relevant governmental departments with key information on potential conservation priorities.
