- Centres of endemism
A Centre of Endemism is an area in which the ranges of restricted range species overlap ref Hall and Moreau, 1962 ref , or a localised area which has a high occurrence of Endemism endemic s. ref Hahn, N. Institute of Conservation and Natural History of the Soutpansberg, Herbarium Soutpansbergensis. ref Centres of endemism may overlap with biodiversity hotspots which are biogeographic regions characterized both by high levels of plant endemism and by serious levels of habitat loss . The exact delineation of centres of endemism is difficult and some overlap with one another. Centres of endemism are high conservation priority areas. Examples of Centres of Endemism Tanzania A local centre of endemism is focussed on an area of lowland forests around the plateaux inland of Lindi in SE Tanzania, with between 40 and 91 species of vascular plants which are not found elseware. ref G. Philip Clarke 2001 ref South Africa At least 19 centres of plant endemism ref Van Wyk and Smith, 2001 Regions of Floristic Endemism ref including The Soutpansberg Centre of Plant Endemism The Maputaland Centre of Plant Endemism The Hantam Roggeveld Centre of Plant Endemism The Drakensberg Alpine Centre Kaokoveld Centre of Endemism The Cape Floristic Region The Pondoland Centre of Plant Endemism References references Category Endemism ecology stub ... more details

- Pondoland Centre of Plant Endemism
The Pondoland Centre of Plant Endemism is situated in the coastal region overlapping the provinces of KwaZulu Natal and the Eastern Cape in South Africa. It is named after Pondoland and falls within the Maputaland Pondoland Albany Hotspot . The region consists of grassy plateaus incised by forested ravines and gorges. The main substrate in the area is Natal Group Sandstone which was formed by sediments laid down about 500 million years ago in a rift underlying the eastern Agulhas Sea in the ancient continent of Gondwana . ref McCarthy, T. & Rubidge, B. 2005 . The Story of Earth and Life, a South African perspective on a 4.6 billion year journey. ISBN 1 77007 148 2 ref The region is about 18,800 hectares in extent and lies along the coastline stretching about 15 kilometres inland with a maximum altitude of about 400 to 500 metres above sea level. ref http www.wildcoast.co.za node 91 ref The region is essentially a transition zone between sub tropical and temperate climates. Endemics Some notable endemism endemic plants include the Pondo Coconut Jubaeopsis caffra , the Pondoland Ghost Bush Raspalia trigyna , the Pondoland Conebush Leucadendron pondoense , Pondo Khat Catha abbottii , Pondo Waterwood Syzygium pondoense and Pondo Poison Pea Tephrosia pondoensis . An endemic species of lizard the Pondo Dwarf Chameleon Bradypodion caffrum is also found only in this region. Protected Areas Umtamvuna Nature Reserve Mkhambathi Nature Reserve Threats A National Road through this centre of endemism has been given the go ahead despite environmental concerns.
