Pondoland endemics A-Z

Endemic species of the Pondoland Centre of Endemism

The list below includes several as-yet undescribed species. These may be shown to be endemic once described, or may be found to be more widespread. However they are included here until their status is finally determined. This page is a work-in-progress; links are being added progressively to photographs of these species.

  1. Erica aspalathifolia & Erica caffra are not Pondoland endemics - the former extends to Durban and the latter occurs from the Cape Peninsula to Sani Pass.

  2. Thanks for that input Tony. I was working off a list of "endemics" I was given a long time back. I suspect that in the case of the Erica aspalathifolia, it was the var. bachmannii being referred to. I agree that E. caffra should not be there and have removed it from the list.
