23 November 2023 - Rossmin

Yvie and Sarah joined us at Rossmin.  We were required to assist with a count of certain species that were used by the Inyanga's in traditional medicine and so with a tape measure we went onto the slopes and measured out blocks and then went up and down doing counts. It was not particularly interesting and soon as we had finished, we carried on botanising in our regular fashion and found the following:


Lotus discolor subsp. discolor
FABACEAE



Pachycarpus concolor subsp. concolor
APOCYNACEAE


Lithospermum papillosum
BORAGINACEAE

Cynoglossum lanceolatum
Hound's Tongue
BORAGINACEAE

Let the count begin.
