Proteas and their relatives

New to the ACS Ebook shop is the Ebook- Proteas and their relatives. Written by John Mason, this book has some beautiful illustrations on proteas and information on types of proteas and their specific growing requirements.

There are around 1700 species and 79 genera of plants in the Proteaceae (Protea) family, and most are indigenous to the southern hemisphere. Around half of these species come from Australia and a quarter from southern Africa. Protea is internationally, one of the best-known and most widely grown genera from the Proteaceae family. Proteas originate in Southern Africa and many species are known and grown for their large colourful flower heads.

This book focuses mostly on Proteas, but also considers some of the other Proteaceae genera that are more widely cultivated.
