species on the coast belt. It is not very sharply marked off 

 from the next zone, for seedlings of the trees may usually be 

 found among it. The Acanthacete, Leguminosas, Com- 

 positfe, CucurbitaceEe, Convolvulacefe, Polyga- 

 lacese, Malvaceae, Labiatse, Orchidaceffi, Iridacese, 

 Amaryllidaceae, Liliaceas, Commelinaceas are all abun- 

 dantly represented, but it has been thought better not to give 

 separate lists of species for this stage, but to include them all 

 in the list given below, the groAvth-form which is given in 

 each case being a sufficient guide as to the place of each 

 species in the succession. 



(c) Zone of Tall Shrubs and Trees. — A large number of 

 species are also included here. Tall, woody lianes are 

 common, the whole forming a tangled, impenetrable mass. 

 There are a number of epiphytes and parasites. True forest 

 trees also occur, many of them being somewhat variable in 

 their growth-forms, and only in the more favourable situations 

 forming high forest. Over seven hundred species can be 

 referred to coast belt scrub, and the long list is arranged, as 

 in the case of the tree veld, with symbols of frequency used 

 as before and notes on the growth-forms, etc.

 climbers; Knowltonia brevistylis (o.), herb, moist shady
