This series has replaced Memoirs of the Botanical Survey of South Africa and
Annals of Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens which the NBI inherited from its prede-
cessor organisations.
The genus Strelitziaoccurs naturally in the eastern parts of southern Africa. It com-
prises three arborescent species, known as wild bananas, and two acaulescent
species, known as crane flowers or bird-of-paradise flowers. The logo of the
National Botanical Institute is based on the striking inflorescence of Strelitzia regi-
nae, a native of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that has become a garden
favourite worldwide. It symbolises the commitment of the National Botanical
Institute to promote the sustainable use, conservation, appreciation and enjoyment
of the exceptionally rich plant life of South Africa, for the benefit of all its people.

Southern Africa has the richest temperate flora in the world and encompasses a rich floristic diversity of approximately 24000
taxa (species and infraspecific taxa) of 368 families, including more than 10% of the world’s vascular plant flora on less than
2.5% of the earth’s land surfacearea. Accurate coverage of this remarkable flora has been made possible at the species level
through PRECIS (National Herbarium, Pretoria (PRE) Computerised Information System), maintained by the National
Botanical Institute. PRECIS includes all indigenous and naturalised plants recorded from the same area as the Flora of south-
ern Africa(Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho). This book is largely based on PRECIS and includes
data on life cycle, life form, height of plant and altitude together with updated information on literature references, synonyms
and regional distribution. Families are grouped into seven more or less natural assemblages: Bryophyta, Hepatophyta,
Anthocerotophyta, Pteridophyta, Gymnosperms, Dicotyledons and Monocotyledons.

Background
Southern Africa has the richest temperate flora in the world and encompasses a rich floristic diversity of approximately
24000 taxa (species and infraspecific taxa) of 368 families, including more than 10% of the world’s vascular plant flora
on less than 2.5% of the earth’s land surface area. Accurate coverage of this remarkable flora has been made possible at
the species level through PRECIS (National Herbarium, Pretoria (PRE) Computerised Information System), maintained
by the National Botanical Institute. PRECIS includes all indigenous and naturalised plants recorded from the same area
as the Flora of southern Africa(FSA): the subcontinent south of the Kunene, Okavango, Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers.
The first list of southern African plants published from PRECIS was the List of species of southern African plants
(Gibbs Russell et al.1984), which comprised a basic list of names in current use. It was followed by a second edi-
tion which appeared in two parts and included synonyms and references to recent literature. Part 1 (Gibbs Russell et
al. 1985) covered the bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms and monocotyledons. Part 2 (Gibbs Russell et al.
1987) covered the dicotyledons. Updates were listed in Bothaliafrom 1988 to 1991. The third edition in the series,
Plants of southern Africa: names and distribution edited by T.H. Arnold & B.C. de Wet, appeared in 1993, with
regional distribution data as an additional feature.
The current publication, the fourth edition in the series, has been expanded to include data on life cycle, life form,
height of plant and altitude together with the updated information on literature references, synonyms and regional
distribution. These data are based largely on the herbarium collections of the National Botanical Institute and are
therefore inevitably incomplete. They nevertheless provide a useful checklist of the plants of southern Africa.
Changes overten years
The southern African flora is extremely diverse and many groups are not well known or well documented, with
the most recent revisions often going back 50 years or more. When any of these groups are revised, numerous and
often radical changes sometimes have to be made, resulting in a relatively high annual incidence of changes in
names and concepts. We have compared the numbers of families, genera, species and taxa given ten years ago in
Arnold & De Wet (1993) to the numbers reflected in the current work (see Table). Certain names no longer appear
in the current list because they are no longer considered relevant to the southern African flora.

Arrangement and circumscription of families, genera,species and infraspecific taxa
Family, genus and species names and synonyms are given in alphabetical sequence. Current names are in bold.
Synonymsare printed in italics.
Families are primarily grouped into seven more or less natural assemblages: Bryophyta (pp. 1–37); Hepatophyta
(pp. 39–61); Anthocerotophyta (pp. 63, 64); Pteridophyta (pp. 65–86); Gymnosperms (pp. 87–90); Dicotyledons (pp.
iv
91–951); and Monocotyledons (pp. 953–1216). The classification of the gymnosperms, dicotyledons and mono-
cotyledons mainly follows Leistner (2000).
Agenus name is abbreviated to its initial letter only in that part of the list dealing with that particular genus. Genus
names that are used only as synonyms in the FSAregion are given in italics even if they are considered to be current
names outside our area. The seven-digit numbers that follow main genus entries in this work are those used in the
PRECIS database of the National Botanical Institute. They do not necessarily reflect phylogenetic relationships
between taxa, but are retained as a useful tool for herbarium workers.
Asynonym of a species or subspecific name appears twice: in the complete alphabetical listing of names under
the genus, and again indented and in smaller type below the accepted name of which it is considered to be a syn-
onym. In the latter case it is followed by one or more literature reference numbers in brackets.
Naturalised taxa are marked with an asterisk before the name.
Authorcitations
Author citations are according to Brummitt & Powell (1992).
Literature
Most literature entries given in Arnold & De Wet (1993) have been retained. New and other relevant literature
have been added. Most titles are given in full. Entries are chronologically arranged.
Floras are cited by the following abbreviations:
CFA Conspectus florae angolensis FTA Flora of tropical Africa
FC Flora capensis FTEA Flora of tropical East Africa
FSA Flora of southern Africa FWTA Flora of West tropical Africa
FSWA Prodromus einer Flora von Südwestafrika FZ Flora zambesiaca
