Magic is not too strong a term for the appeal of this unique group of plants, the Mesembs. Radiant in flower and highly diverse in form and stature, this fascinating group includes plants as small as wheat grains, or as big as a rhinoceros, their fruits are as complex as any in the floral kingdom or as simple as salt shakers. Mesembs have captured the imagination of botanists, horticulturalists and travellers for many centuries. Experience the magic of mesembs through this beautiful book, Mesembs of the World.
