✦ Synopsis

This paper would not have been possible without the conscientious work of staff at Jonkershoek, especially that of R.A. Haynes and E.F. Kruger. The information on the floras of each area studied here has been built up through decades of field work by various collectors. Identifications of the many difficult taxa are due to taxonomists at the National Herbarium, at the Compton Herbarium, Kirstenbosch and at the Bolus Herbarium, University of Cape Town. M. F. Thompson and E. E. Esterhuysen contributed materially in this respect. We thank T. C. Whitmore, H. Deacon and two anonymous referees for commenting on the manuscript. ** Paper presented at the Annual Congress of the South African Association of Botanists, Stellenbosch, January 1979. *** This work is based partly on the results of the conservation research programme of the South African Department of Forestry and the Botanical Research Institute's programme on fynbos phytosociology, and is published with permission of our respective heads of Departments_
