Capensis

  • Chapter
Biogeography and Ecology of Southern Africa

Part of the book series: Monographiae Biologicae ((MOBI,volume 31))

Abstract

Capensis comprises the distinctive temperate floral area of the southwestern and southern Cape Province found between the Karoo-Namib Region, some outliers of the Sudano-Zambezian and Afromontane Regions and the coast at latitudes between about 31° and 35° south and longitudes between 18° and 27° east.

The help of colleagues, both in Pretoria and Stellenbosch, in giving unstintingly of their time to discuss contentious points, is gratefully acknowledged. All photographs in this chapter were taken by the author.
