dc.description.abstract As part of a vegetation survey programme for conservation areas in South Africa, the plant communities of the western section of the Borakalalo Nature Reserve were investigated. From a TWINSPAN classification, refined by Braun-Blanquet procedures, 19 plant communities, which can be grouped into eleven major groups, were identified. A classification and description of these communities, some of which have a karoo affinity, are presented. The diagnostic species, as well as the prominent and less conspicuous species of the tree, schrub, herb and grass strata are outlined. A vegetation map is included. en
dc.description.sponsorship This research was supoorted financially by the Foundation for Research Development, CSIR. North-West Environmental Conservation is thanked for allowing and encouraging the research in the reserve as well as the arrangements made by the first author while doing the surveys in the veld. en
