Plants of South Africa's Highveld

Prof Braam van Wyk, one of South Africa's leading botanists, talks on the beauty and ecology of South Africa's stunning Highveld Grasslands.

Braam's childhood interest in ecology and plants in particular, led him to become a professor of botany at the University of Pretoria.

He has written numerous books and articles on this unique landscape and is considered the leading authority on Highveld plants in the world.

His book "Field Guide to the Wild Flowers of the Highveld" is viewed by many as the 'bible' for identifying flowering plants in that landscape.
