The Field Guide to the Succulent Euphorbias of southern Africa by Alma Möller and Rolf Becker is a pioneer publication on euphorbias in southern Africa. It is a beautifully illustrated, full colour identiﬁcation guide that makes it easy for the layperson as well as anybody interested in the ﬂora of southern Africa to identify a particular species. The Guide contains:

Introductory chapters containing general information about the species characters, how to identify an euphorbia, growing euphorbias in cultivation, gardening with euphorbias, medicinal and other uses, herbaceous species and invaders.
Detailed descriptions of 224 species, including emphasis on distinguishing features, habitat, distribution maps, conservation status, scientiﬁc and known common names, as well as notes on similar species.
Similar looking species are grouped together in 18 species groups, based on easily recognisable morphological characters. Group 19 contains previously undescribed species, and Group 20 contains species of uncertain status.
More than 870 full-colour photographs and illustrations.
Taxonomic classiﬁcation.
Glossary and index to scientiﬁc and common names.
