Introduction
The core of this book is the vegetation map of the region which
is the culmination of many years of work by many people.
18°
22°
The vegetation units described become far more useful when
they are made spatially explicit and the dimensions, distribution and shapes of each vegetation unit cannot adequately be
described by text alone. Also the relationships between adjacent
vegetation types as well as interdispersion patterns become
clear through the device of the maps presented in this atlas.
The atlas is presented here as a systematic series of A4 maps.
These depict 435 of the vegetation types of our subcontinental
region. Not depicted in this edition is AZm 1 Cape Kelp Beds
that is described in the text. The map of the vegetation types
of the subantarctic Marion and Prince Edward Islands is to be
found in Chapter 15. The mapping in this chapter corresponds
closely to the large 1:1 000 000 map sheets of Mucina et al.
(2005) and is also printed at this convenient scale. In this atlas a
grey outline to polygons has been added to help differentiation
between adjacent vegetation units. The A4 map pages include
an area of overlap at the edges with the maps on overleaf pages
and contain navigational arrows to adjacent sections of the
map. The series of maps is preceded by an index map to page
numbers of the maps of the atlas, followed by the legend to
the vegetation types with colours and codes of the vegetation
types. Given the large number of colours required for the atlas,
the codes provide the definitive identity of vegetation types. For
convenience this legend is reprinted as a separate booklet in a
sleeve within the back cover of the book. Geographical names
as approved by the South African Geographical Names Council
are as gazetted before 1 January 2005.
A compact disc (CD) containing the electronic shape files of the
map is placed in a sleeve within the front cover of the book.
This CD also contains the software ArcReader suitable for viewing the map on computer. This is a particularly valuable and
effective means of zooming in to view very small polygons and
intricately divided vegetation types that are difficult to see on
the printed maps. Some attributes are displayed when clicking on a polygon in the electronic map. These are Code used
in the book, Name of the vegetation type, Conservation target, Percent of the vegetation type that is protected, Percent
of the vegetation type that is unaltered, Conservation status
and Protection status of the vegetation type, Area in square
kilometres of the vegetation type, Area in square kilometres
of the specific polygon, Code without space used on the map,
Sort order (using numbers for biome, bioregion and vegetation
type), Codes and names for biome, group and bioregion, and
IDs for vegetation type, biome, group and bioregion used for
linking data tables.

Glossary of Selected Scientific and Vernacular Terms
Michael C. Rutherford, Ladislav Mucina, Leslie W.
Powrie, Robert A. Ward and Freddie Ellis
Introduction
This glossary contains terms, abbreviations and very widely used
vernacular names of plants specific to southern African botanical and geographical terminology, and it is aimed at university
and other students and at interested southern African amateur
biologists and nature lovers. Professional botanists will benefit
from definitions of many of the nonbiological terms used in our
book—especially those related to geology, soil, climate, GIS terminology and botanical terms not particularly familiar in South
Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. Some ‘endemic’ local terms
such as those related to landscape (koppie, donga etc.) and
biota (bushveld, strandveld etc.) are included. Almost all terms
have been extracted from the text of this book.
Many of the terms are referenced. Most soil terms and definitions relate to Van der Watt & Van Rooyen’s (1995) glossary. The
terms not referenced are our original definitions.
Anorthosite (geology) A coarse-grained plutonic igneous rock
consisting of more than 90% plagioclase feldspar, the plagioclase being generally calcium-rich (Whitten & Brooks 1972). In
South Africa, the Bushveld Igneous Complex contains many
anorthosite layers formed by the cyclic fractional crystallisation
from a gabbroic magma.
Apedal (soil) Pertaining to a soil having no visible internal structure (after Low & Rebelo 1998).
ARC/INFO® (GIS terminology) Name of software package made
by Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redmund,
California, for geographic information system (GIS) analysis.
ARC/INFO is used worldwide by thousands of different organisations for handling, managing and analysing geographical
information.
Glossary
ArcView® (GIS terminology) A geographic information system
(GIS) software package made by Environmental Systems
Research Institute with many of the features of ARC/INFO.
Adamellite (geology) Type of granite containing a calciumbearing plagioclase and a potassium feldspar in roughly equal
amounts (Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Arenite (geology) A broad term describing detrital sedimentary
rocks, typically sandstone, of a particle size between 1⁄16 mm
and 2 mm (Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Aeolian (soil) Wind-borne. Aeolian material is moved by wind
rather than water or by decomposition of local rock. Most aeolian sand is of marine origin, although sand may be dispersed
from some rivers by wind (modified after Low & Rebelo 1998).
Argillaceous (geology) Pertaining to a group of detrital sedimentary rocks, including clays, shales, mudstones and siltstones.
Two grades of particle size are recognised, namely silt (from 1⁄16
mm to 1⁄ 256 mm) and clay (less than 1⁄ 256 mm). The rocks are
composed of clay minerals and finely divided quartz and carbonates (Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Afromontane (biogeography) Pertaining to regions of high
altitudes in the mountains of Africa. Sometimes used interchangeably with ‘afrotemperate’.
Afrotemperate (biogeography) Pertaining to regions in Africa
characterised by temperate climate, usually found at higher altitudes (East African mountains, Drakensberg).
Agg. (taxonomy) Abbreviation of ‘aggregate’. A neutral taxonomic category designating a group of morphologically very
similar plant taxa that are often confused, e.g. in field studies.
In our book this term is used interchangeably with ‘complex’,
another auxillary taxonomic category.
Agrestal (vegetation) Pertaining to vegetation of weeds infesting arable land, synonymous with ‘segetal vegetation’.
Alluvium (geology, soil) Sedimentary material found in regions
fringing river courses and composed of detrital matter transported and deposited by the river.
Amphibole (geology) Any of a class of rock-forming silicate
and aluminosilicate minerals with fibrous or columnar crystals
(Thompson 1995).
Amphibolite (geology) A metamorphic rock composed mostly
of amphibole minerals (Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Andesite (geology) A fine-grained volcanic igneous rock of
composition intermediate between basalt and rhyolite, characterised by the presence of oligoclase or andesine (both minerals
with more sodium than calcium in their composition) plagioclase
feldspar (after Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Asteraceous (vegetation) Pertaining to vegetation dominated
by members of the daisy family (Asteraceae or Compositae),
e.g. asteraceous fynbos.
Banded ironstone (geology) Also known as jaspilite; a banded
rock composed of alternating layers of iron oxide and jasper, a
red variety of chalcedony (cryptocrystalline variety of SiO2).
These rocks are chemical sediments deposited due to increased
oxygen contents of a body of water precipitating dissolved iron
in a cyclic nature. Huge iron ore deposits are found in South
Africa in the Banded Iron Formation (Transvaal Supergroup).
Basalt (geology) Generally fine-grained dark-coloured volcanic
igneous rock, composed primarily of calcic plagioclase and
pyroxene, with or without olivine.
Batholith (geology) Term applied to very large bodies of intrusive igneous rock and generally composed of many smaller plutons. The term is most commonly used to describe granitic
bodies.
Berg wind (climate) A katabatic (downslope and generally offshore) wind of especially the West and South Coast of South
Africa, which is both hot and dry and therefore conducive to
spread of fire (Low & Rebelo 1998).
Biodiversity (biology) The sum of all taxa of animals, plants,
fungi and micro-organisms as well as their communities in a
region (modified after Low & Rebelo 1998).
Glossary of Selected Scientific and Vernacular Terms

S % ‚19 (2006)
Biome (biology) A broad ecological spatial unit representing
major life zones of large natural areas, and defined mainly by
vegetation structure, climate as well as major large-scale disturbance factors (such as fire) (after Low & Rebelo 1998).
Biotite (geology) Dark-coloured tri-octahedral mica common in
igneous and metamorphic rocks (Deer et al. 1992).
Bog (soil) An area of swampy ground generally with a layer of
organic matter (peat).
Broken veld (geomorphology) A region characterised by rugged topography, preventing easy thoroughfare. The granitic
landscapes of the Succulent Karoo are good examples (Low &
Rebelo 1998).
Bushveld (vegetation) A local regional term translated from
the Afrikaans ‘bosveld’ and generally applied to various forms
of savanna vegetation south of the miombo belts in southern
Africa. In regional terms (Central Bushveld), used for the elevated plateaus between Pretoria in the south and Limpopo River
in the north.
Butt (geomorphology) Solitary, usually pointed hill with hard
capping on the top, rising above surrounding flat landscape;
often occurring in the Karoo. Often spelt ‘butte’ (from the
French) and mainly applied in the western USA.
C3 (plant physiology) A photosynthetic system in which Calvin
Cycle photosynthesis occurs in both bundle sheath and mesophyll cells in the leaf. The name is derived from the initial fixing
of CO2 in three-carbon chain compounds.
C4 (plant physiology) A photosynthetic system in which the initial fixing of CO2 is via a four-carbon chain compound. These
species have the Calvin Cycle photosynthesising cells concentrated around the vascular bundles (Kranz anatomy), whereas
the cells elsewhere in the leaf specialise in absorbing CO2 from
the atmosphere. C4 photosynthesis is more efficient than C3, at
higher light intensities and higher temperatures, hence its
prominence amongst grasses (and other plant species) in the
warmer, summer-rainfall regions (after Low & Rebelo 1998).
Calcareous (geology, soil) Pertaining to a soil or rock containing calcium carbonate, or related minerals, so that it effervesces
(bubbles of CO2) when treated with acid. Usually formed from
shells or chemical precipitation, these soils and rocks tend to
have a coastal distribution (modified after Low & Rebelo
1998).
Calcrete (geology) A rock formed in the soil profile at the water
table when calcium carbonate accumulates and cements particles together to form a hard rock band (Low & Rebelo 1998).
CAM Abbreviation of ‘Crassulacean Acid Metabolism’ (plant
physiology). A photosynthetic system found in many succulent
plants whereby carbon fixation takes place at night (as opposed
to daylight in C3 and C4 plants) when lower temperatures
reduce the rate of water loss during CO2 uptake through the
stomata. A very strong form of CAM is referred to as CAM
idling where stomata remain closed by day and night when
there is an internal recycling of nocturnally refixed respiratory
CO2 usually in response to severe stress due to limitations of
water availability. CAM cycling is yet another (weak) form of
CAM metabolism with C3 photosynthesis occurring throughout
the light period (Lüttge 2004).
Cambic B-horizon (soil) A subsurface horizon containing illuvial clay, humus, or amorphous sesquioides, but not in sufficiency to be classed as spodic or argillic.
Cambisol (soil) Young soil with a cambic B-horizon and a A-B-C
profile. Cambisols are typical in temperate or cooler regions, in
792
Glossary of Selected Scientific and Vernacular Terms
which soils are either young or, depending on the climate, in
which processes of soil formation occur slowly.
Cape Floristic Region (CFR) (biogeography) One of 37 global
floristic regions (phytochoria) as defined by Takhtajan (1986),
often referred to as the Cape Floristic Kingdom (CFK) which is
one of six global floristic kingdoms.
Catena (soils) A related sequence of soil profile types created
by changes from one drainage condition to another. These
changes are usually transitional. Common example is from hilltop to valley bottom.
CE (biogeography) Abbreviation of ‘Centre of Endemism’ (see
also Van Wyk & Smith 2001).
Chert (geology) Cryptocrystalline quartz of organic or inorganic
origin. Also, the rock formed by the precipitation of this material, which can form bands or layers of nodules in sedimentary
rocks (modified after Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Chlorite (geology) Green, flaky mineral of variable composition
that is a common alteration product of ferromagnesian minerals; structurally resembling the micas (Deer et al. 1992).
Clastic (geology) Consisting of fragments of rock or of organic
structures that have been moved individually from their places
of origin (American Geological Institute 1976).
Climax (vegetation) That vegetation type or plant community
structure that occurs at the end of the seral cycle. The climax
communities may not be the final end point of the succession:
frequent or even rare events, such as fire, frost, harvesting, or
hurricanes, may hold the communities in a stable subclimax
indefinitely (Low & Rebelo 1998).
Cobbles (geology) Generally rounded rock fragments with a
diameter of between 64 mm and 256 mm, i.e. larger than a
pebble and smaller than a boulder (Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Conglomerate (geology) A sedimentary rock type consisting of
rounded pebbles (> 2 mm) or small rocks cemented with sands,
silts or clays into a solid rock (Low & Rebelo 1998).
Coverage (GIS terminology) ARC/INFO data format of a digital
spatial data set.
Craton (geology) Old, rigid, stable block of continental crust
consisting mostly of coarse crystalline granitic rocks. Southern
African geology has been dominated by the Kaapvaal Craton
which has remained largely unaffected by several orogenic
events along its fringes for the past two and a half billion years.
Cross-walk (analysis) A matrix table which usefully gives the
degree of spatial correspondence between two mapped layers
of information. A cross-walk represents one feature type as columns to compare with intersections with another feature represented as rows.
Cupressoid (botany) Pertaining to plants with small, awlshaped leaves which clasp the stem, resembling those of a
cypress (Low & Rebelo 1998).
Datum (GIS terminology) A set of parameters and control
points used to accurately define the three-dimensional shape of
the earth (e.g. as a spheroid). The datum is the basis for a planar
co-ordinate system. VEGMAP uses the internationally related
Hartebeesthoek94 datum based on the World Geodetic System
1984 (WGS84) reference ellipsoid. This replaces the previously
used Cape datum.
DEAT (institution) Abbreviation of the national ‘Department of
Environmental Affairs and Tourism’, a ministry of the
Government of the Republic of South Africa.
S % ‚19 (2006)
Decimal degrees (geography) Degrees of latitude and longitude expressed in decimal format rather than in degrees, minutes and seconds.
DEM (GIS terminology) See ‘Digital elevation model’.
Diabase (geology) An ambiguous term used synonymously
with dolerite. Other applications of the word are falling into
disuse.
Diamictite (geology) A conglomerate with relatively few clasts
(pebbles), such that they are not touching and forming a supporting network. A matrix of finer material surrounds and supports the clasts (Boggs 1992). Glacial deposits are often
diamictic.
Digital elevation model (GIS terminology) Cell-based, common digital data of the shape of the earth’s surface (ESRI 2006).
Digitising (GIS terminology) Transforming map features into
digital form. Usually accomplished with a digitising tablet, or by
creating a digital version and georectifying an image.
Diorite (geology) A coarse-grained plutonic igneous rock of a
composition intermediate between granite and gabbro. It is the
plutonic equivalent of andesite.
Dithionite (soil) As sodium dithionite (together with sodium
bicarbonate and sodium citrate) an extracting reagent used for
the determination of ‘free’ aluminium and iron in soils.
Dolerite (geology) An igneous rock with fine to medium grains,
consisting of equal quantities of the minerals feldspar and
pyroxene. Chemically, it is the same as basalt and gabbro.
During the Jurassic Period, enormous quantities of dolerite were
injected into the Karoo Sequence deposits as vertical dykes and
horizontal sills. Because of its resistance to erosion, dolerite
dykes and sills have shaped many landscapes, especially the
eastern Karoo (Low & Rebelo 1998).
Dolomite (geology) A carbonate of calcium and magnesium,
which only effervesces with dilute acid if powdered or heated.
The Transvaal Supergroup comprises much dolomite, formed by
chemical precipitation. Dolomite dissolves giving rise to sinkholes (as in Gauteng), but also stores water, giving rise to the
‘eyes’ (small lakes) in North-West Province (modified after Low
& Rebelo 1998).
Donga (geomorphology) Local term for deep, usually dry erosion trench or ravine.
point that air-dry fragments will not slake in water or HCl; synonymous with ‘dorbank’.
DWAF (institution) Abbreviation of the national ‘Department of
Water Affairs and Forestry’, a ministry of the Government of
the Republic of South Africa.
Dystrophic (soil) Pertaining to soil that has suffered marked
leaching of the exchangeable basic cations (i.e. Ca, Mg, K and
Na). Such soils are generally referred to as having a low base
saturation. Synonymous with dystric.
Ecotone (vegetation) A zone in which two or more vegetation
types or ecosystems merge. These areas may be rich in species
from both systems, or may occur as species-poor fringes (Low &
Rebelo 1998).
Eluvial (soil) Pertaining to weathered material which is still at,
or near, its point of formation (Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Endemic (biogeography) Pertaining to a plant or animal species
which is naturally restricted to a particular, well-defined region.
This is not the same as the medical definition, which is ‘occurring naturally in a region’—it is thus often confused with indigenous (modified after Low & Rebelo 1998).
Ephemeroid (botany) Referring to the life-form of a perennial
plant that makes occasional appearances above-ground and
maintains perennating organs underground (e.g. bulbous
plants).
Epiphyte (botany): A plant which grows on another plant, but
which is not parasitic and uses the other plant only as a perch
for better obtaining light or nutrients (Low & Rebelo 1998).
Eutrophic (soil) Refers to soil that has suffered little or no leaching of the exchangeable basic cations (Ca, Mg, K and Na). Such
soils are generally referred to as having a high base status.
Feldspar (geology) A group of the most abundant minerals in
the earth’s crust. Most can be classified as members of the simple ternary system albite–potassium feldspar–anorthite (after
Deer et al. 1992).
Ferricrete (geology) A rock formed in the soil profile at the
water table when iron oxides accumulate around and cement
grains together to form a gravelly or nodule-rich band. This may
become impervious to water (compare ‘Duplex’). Also known
as ‘ironpan’, ‘koffieklip’, ‘ouklip’ or ‘ngubane’ (modified after
Low & Rebelo 1998).
Dorbank (soil) A hard to extremely hard (silica-cemented) layer
of soil. It occurs as a (usually reddish coloured) subsoil horizon
in certain soils of arid regions. It does not slake in water but
only in strong alkali. It is synonymous with the ‘duribank’ (or
‘duripan’) of other classification systems.
Fjelfield (vegetation) Open-canopy, low vegetation composed
of herbs, dwarf shrubs, mosses and lichens on shallow stony
soils in the (sub)antractic and (sub)arctic regions. Also spelt
fellfield.
Doringveld (vegetation) Afrikaans term for vegetation (usually
woodland) dominated by Acacia (for example Acacia karroo).
Floristic (vegetation) Referring to the use of plant species composition (flora) as criterion for characterising or classifying
vegetation.
Duplex (soil) A soil type with a porous topsoil abruptly overlying a slowly permeable layer of soil, usually sand over clay. This
does not apply to hardpan layers which form within a soil type
due to cementing by iron oxides (ferricrete, laterite), silica (silcrete) or lime (calcrete) (after Low & Rebelo 1998).
Duribank (soil) Synonymous with ‘dorbank’ or ‘duripan’.
Duricrust (soil) A hard crust that formed near the land surface
during the processes of weathering of rocks and during soil formation, usually in tropical or arid regions. The main types
include alcrete, calcrete, ferricrete (laterite) and silcrete.
Duripan (soil) A term used in certain international classification
systems for a mineral soil horizon that is cemented by silica to a
Forb (botany) A plant without secondary thickening (i.e. nonwoody), usually living for only one or two seasons (Low &
Rebelo 1998).
Forest (vegetation) A plant community having a continuous
tree layer, with or without a shrub/herbaceous layer (Geldenhuys
et al. 1988). In his structural classification of vegetation types,
Edwards (1983) defined forest as a ‘vegetation type possessing
canopy cover ≥ 75% of trees taller than two metres’.
Fynbos (biome) Large areas of Western (and partly also
Northern and Eastern) Cape Provinces, characterised by a predominantly winter-rainfall regime and supporting shrublands,
herblands, grasslands and restiolands. These can be (in some
Glossary of Selected Scientific and Vernacular Terms

cases partly) structurally classified as fynbos, renosterveld,
strandveld and Cape thicket.
form a sedimentary basin. A half-graben is a similar structure
formed to the downthrown side of a single normal-fault.
Fynbos (vegetation) The dominant vegetation of the Fynbos
Biome, characterised by the presence of Restionaceae, and
often with a high cover of ericoid shrubs in the families Ericaceae,
Asteraceae, Rhamnaceae and Thymelaeaceae, and the common occurrence of Proteaceae. It occurs predominantly on
nutrient-poor soils.
Graminoid (botany) Pertaining to a herbaceous growth form
characterised by a ‘grass-like’ appearance (tufted growth, usually long and narrow leaves, secondary root system) and including plants such as grasses, restios, sedges and rushes.
Gabbro (geology) A dark, coarse-grained igneous rock, consisting of the mineral calcium-feldspar and crystals of the
pyroxene group (olivine may be present). It is the plutonic
equivalent of basalt and dolerite (modified after Low & Rebelo
1998).
Geodatabase (GIS terminology) A logical collection of interrelated information managed and stored as a unit, usually on
some form of mass storage system such as magnetic tape or
disk. A GIS database includes data about the spatial location
and shape of geographical features recorded as points, lines,
areas, pixels, grid cells or TIN (Triangular Irregular Network) as

iron and magnesium). It is often used to describe rocks rich in
these minerals although, strictly, melanocratic is the correct
term (Whitten & Brooks 1972).

Map scale (geography) The reduction needed to display a representation of the earth’s surface on a map usually expressed as a
fraction of the measure on the map over the equivalent measure on the earth’s surface (e.g. 1:50 000). A common error is to
confuse the geographical terms ‘larger’ and ‘smaller’ scales.
Large-scale maps such as 1:50 000 show great detail, whereas
smaller scale maps such as 1:250 000 show few details but
large areas, i.e. maps covering broader areas and usually with
less detail are at a smaller scale.

MAT (climate) See ‘Mean annual temperature’.
Mean Annual Precipitation (MAP) (climate) Arithmetic mean
of the precipitation at a locality over many years. Differs from
median annual precipitation, which is the middle value of precipitation, with the number of years with higher precipitation
equalling the number of years with lower precipitation. In
southern Africa the number of years below average are more
numerous than those above average (especially in areas of low
rainfall), and therefore median annual precipitation is sometimes preferentially used to reduce risk in planning within precipitation-dependent enterprises such as farming (Schulze
1997). The median values thus provide some form of statistical
expectation. Sometimes mean and median values are very
similar.
Mean Annual Temperature (MAT) (climate) The temperature
of the whole year arithmetically averaged over many years at a
locality. In South Africa, where hourly data are generally unavailable, MAT is approximated by averaging all the daily maximum and minimum temperature values of each year. In South
Africa the error is always in the form of a small (typically around
0.5°C) overestimate. Temperatures are measured in well-ventilated shade (typically Stevenson screens) and at a height of 1.2
m above ground, which can greatly overestimate (i.e. less cold)
winter minimum temperatures near the ground surface.
Median Monthly Precipitation (climate) The middle value of
precipitation for a given month from those of each year ranked
from highest to lowest for a locality. Mean monthly precipitation values are frequently ‘inflated’ by a few heavy and extreme

more representative of expected conditions which are important for planning in enterprises such as farming (Schulze 1997).
Sometimes mean and median values are very similar.

data source, while documentation is entered by a person. By
default, ArcCatalog automatically creates and updates metadata, which are stored as well-formed XML data in a file alongside the data or within a geodatabase. Metadata for a folder
can also consist of a well-formed HTML file describing its contents (ESRI 2006).

is able to transport all grain sizes from rock-flour to large boulders and deposit them to form a poorly sorted conglomerate.
TMS (geology) Abbreviation of ‘Table Mountain Sandstone’.
Quartz-rich, hard sandstone of Ordovician age, named after
Table Mountain.
Tonalite (geology) A type of diorite, often defined as having
accessory quartz (Whitten & Brooks 1972).
Ultramafic (geology) Pertaining to igneous rocks consisting of
ferromagnesian minerals to the virtual exclusion of quartz and
feldspar. These rocks are poor in silica and rich in iron and magnesium. They are very dark in colour (highly melanocratic) and
also very dense.
Vector data (GIS terminology) Vector data record spatial information as x,y co-ordinates in a rectangular (planar) co-ordinate
system. Point features are recorded as single x,y locations. Line
features, including the outlines of polygons, are recorded as an
ordered series of x,y co-ordinates (ESRI 2006).
Vegetation structure (vegetation) The horizontal, vertical and
temporal arrangement of vegetation, i.e. spatially explicit, e.g.
layers, patches etc. (see also ‘Vegetation texture’) (Barkman
1979).
Vegetation texture (vegetation) The composition of the vegetation in terms of species, growth forms, life forms, leaf morphological types, etc. (see also ‘Vegetation structure’) (Barkman
1979).
Veld (geography) Very broad term for open undeveloped countryside, usually applied in karroid, grassland and savanna areas
and less so in fynbos areas and never in forests.
Veld type (vegetation) A well-known delimitation of vegetation types in South Africa carried out by John Acocks (1953)
who defined a veld type as ‘a unit of vegetation whose range
of variation is small enough to permit the whole of it to have
the same farming potentialities’.
Vertic (soil) Pertaining to a soil with a blocky structure, which
shrinks and swells markedly depending on wetness, due to a
high clay content. These soils have a black or dark colour (Low
& Rebelo 1998).
Vesicular hardening (soil) See ‘Ortstein’.
Vygie (botany) Afrikaans vernacular name for all succulent members of the family Aizoaceae (formerly known as
Mesembryanthemaceae)
Vygieveld (vegetation) A vegetation shrubland type dominated
by succulent plants (storing water in their stems and/or leaves),
usually vygies.
Wetland (habitat) Areas of marsh, fen, peatland or water,
whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with
water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt. Includes
areas of marine water, the depth of which at low tide does not
exceed 6 m (RAMSAR Convention 1971, Article 1.1). Also land
where the water table is, at least periodically, at or above the
land surface for long enough to promote the formation of
hydric (waterlogged) soils and the growth of aquatic plants
(Rogers 1997).
WGS84 (GIS terminology) Abbreviation of ‘World Geodetic
System of 1984’. A geocentric datum and geographical co-ordinate system created by the United States military and in worldwide use (ESRI 2006).
White grass (vegetation) Veld management term for (usually)
tussock grasses (Stipagrostis, Aristida) turning veld into white
plains through their conspicuous plumage of hairs on the seeds
at the stage of ripening and dispersal.
Woodland (vegetation) See ‘Savanna’.

INDEX
This index contains comprehensive page number entries for the names of all vegetation types and bioregions. The vegetation types
and the pages with their main descriptions are shown as bold text. Only main occurrences of biomes and larger protected areas,
mainly national parks, are included. Geographical features are mainly limited to regional names and some major mountains and
rivers. The index includes the captions of figures and headings of tables. Plant taxa are not listed. Terms that appear frequently are
either selectively listed or omitted. Terms occurring in the reference lists, credit sections and on the Atlas sheets (chapter 18) are not
presented. References to authors are limited to Acocks but are not given for the vegetation description sections.
