The name records included in this release were extracted from the taxonomic backbone of the Botanical Database of Southern Africa (BODATSA) by the SA National Plant Checklist Coordinator., BODATSA is a BRAHMS v.8 database that houses the plant taxonomic backbone, e-Flora of South Africa content, and specimen level information from the three herbaria of the South African National Biodiversity Institute [SANBI; namely the National Herbarium (PRE), Compton Herbarium (NBG), and the KwaZulu-Natal Herbarium (NH)], as well as data on the living collections of the SANBI National Botanical Gardens., The name of a plant is the key to all the information that is available for that plant. With ongoing taxonomic research resulting in new species descriptions and refining of classification systems, it is essential to keep abreast of systematic changes that influence the names of plants. Having a well-maintained, correct and up-to-date plant species inventory (checklist) is essential to all foundational and applied biodiversity research., SANBI is mandated in the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (2004) to coordinate and promote the taxonomy of South Africa’s biodiversity, as well as to collect, generate, process, coordinate and disseminate information about biodiversity. SANBI is thus obligated to provide and manage a checklist of South African plants and to make this National Plant Checklist available to all end-users., Accurate species checklists underpin all biodiversity research in the country. The South Africa National Plant Checklist forms the backbone for projects relating to the country’s flora, e.g. the e-Flora of South Africa and the SANBI Biodiversity Advisor website (https://biodiversityadvisor.sanbi.org/), where the Checklist is subsequently disseminated along with information about each plant species; Status Reports for Biological Invasions (https://www.sanbi.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Biological-invasions-Report-in-South-Africa-in-2022.pdf)—where the Checklist serves as a list of potential invasive taxa yet to be investigated for inclusion in such reports; the Red List of South African Plants (https://redlist.sanbi.org/); and the National Biodiversity Assessment (https://www.sanbi.org/biodiversity/building-knowledge/biodiversity-monitoring-assessment/national-biodiversity-assessment/).] h.snyman@sanbi.org.za (Hannelie Snyman) https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/eml.do?r=sanpc2025 https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/archive.do?r=sanpc2025 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 10:05:40 +0200 f5dc22ca-0bb1-4692-8a97-cc7ac54d7ed9/v1.1 https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/resource?r=alienplantssa2025 [The species list of alien taxa in South Africa was developed as part of triennial national status reports on biological invasions. It therefore includes: taxa that are, have been, or were proposed to be regulated; alien taxa that are or have been present in South Africa (including those only ever recorded in quarantine facilities); taxa that are native to a part of South Africa that have formed native-alien populations in another part of the country; and taxa which have been recorded at some point as alien or for which the risk of invasion has been evaluated. The list also includes information on the invasion status of the taxa, their pathways, distributions, impacts, and management, with metadata provided for all 38 variables, including confidence and data sources for 23 of them. Based on information up to the end of December 2022, the checklist includes over 6000 taxa, of which over 3500 are alien taxa confirmed as present outside of captivity or cultivation. However, several key data sources still need to be verified and integrated into the list (particularly taxa in captivity or cultivation). Thus, this list should not yet be regarded as a complete baseline of the knowledge of alien taxa present in South Africa. The checklist is presented in a manner that is tidy and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and will be maintained, expanded, and updated, with the aim for the list to become comprehensive and dynamic. By so doing, the checklist will allow the number and status of alien taxa to be tracked over time, informing management planning and regulatory decisions.] h.snyman@sanbi.org.za (Hannelie Snyman) https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/eml.do?r=alienplantssa2025 https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/archive.do?r=alienplantssa2025 Fri, 12 Sep 2025 12:07:42 +0200 78ee0f56-267b-49e1-8afc-19f03cf81276/v1.0 https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/resource?r=zanationaltaxon [The South African National Species Checklist (Catalogue of Life in South Africa, COLSA) is the authoritative checklist of South Africa’s species and biodiversity. In the current version, 99254 accepted names with 37144 synonyms, and South African vernaculars are included in the data package. The current 2025 version is composed of three key datasets, including the South African National Plant Checklist, the South African National Animal Checklist, and the List of Alien Species in South Africa (2025). This consolidated and authoritative list of species is presented in a manner that is tidy and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and will be maintained and expanded as additional species lists become available. Nationally, many institutions throughout South Africa have contributed species lists through SANBI’s managed network of Partners. Here, programmes like the Foundational Biodiversity Information Programme and the SANBI-GBIF Node, has supported the generation and mobilisation of biodiversity data, for its use in scientific research, policy and decision-making. Some museums and research institutions including through Natural Science Collections Facility have also contributed data. The species list of alien taxa in South Africa was developed as part of triennial national status reports on biological invasions and has been coordinated by the Invasives Species Programme at SANBI.

The timeline for this database was planned for September 2022 to October 2024. This project was funded by USAID through Tetra Tech/West Africa Biodiversity and Low Emission Development and implemented by Reptile and Amphibian Program Sierra Leone (RAP-SL), under a project titled: “Building Capacity to Monitor Forest Vegetation and Carbon Change in the Upper Guinea Forest through Permanent Sample Plots”. This project is controlled and managed under project number: WABiLED-G-003-RAP-SL. At the Soyah and Sabouya forest which are at separate locations, two one-hectare permanent plots were sampled at the Montane dry forest of Soyah (1-ha) and the grassland savanna forest of Sabouya (1-ha). At the Ziama massif, two one-hectare permanent plots were sampled at the lowland rainforest of Seredou (1-ha) and Massadou (1-ha). Forty temporal plots were sampled at the community fallows in five communities (twenty plots) around Soyah-Sabouya communities and five communities (twenty plots) around Ziama massif. All plots, followed Forest Plots methodology (www.forestplots.net). The one-hectare plot sizes were square of 100 x 100 m and Coordinates (latitude, longitude and altitude) of all plots were recorded at the four corners of each plot. Plots were selected based on physical and human factors like climate, altitude, and slopes. All permanent plots were located in well managed protected areas, and temporal plots in disturb and fallow land. Plot data was replicated independently using quadrants. Diameter of all trees in each permanent plot (DBH ≥ 10 cm (100 mm) were recorded with the help of a diameter tape and tagged with a continuous serial number. Tree height of 60 trees, ten trees per diameter class were measured DBH 10 – 20 cm, 21 – 30 cm, 31 – 40 cm, 41 – 50 cm, 51 – 60 cm and >60 cm with the help of a Forestry Pro II Rangefinder. Temporal plot data were collected in smaller plots of 20 x 50 m. Plots were selected base on the degree of forest used. Young growth forest was classified as fallow land for 5 – 7 years and old growth forest as fallows for 10 – 15 years. In temporal plots, all trees with diameter (DBH ≥ 10 cm) (100 mm) were measured with the aid of a diameter tape and height measured using Forestry Pro II Rangefinder. Trees in temporal plots were not tagged. Temporal plots were georeferenced at a single start point (latitude, longitude and altitude). Specimens of doubtful species in the survey were collected, press, dried and identified at the Institute of Agronomy Research (IRAG) Herbarium in Seredou by using matching specimens in the herbarium, floras and monographs (Hawthorne and Jongkind, 2006, Hawthorne and Gyakari, 2006, Hutchinson, J., Dalziel et al., 1954-1972). Specimens for well-known species were not collected. Photographs of some species were captured. In the field and herbarium, specimens were identified by a Botanist (Moses N. Sainge) and Botanist from IRAG (Dore Djaka, Kolou Koivogui, Madou Keita). All collected specimens were deposited at the IRAG herbarium in Seredou. Taxonomy identification followed Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) IV (2016) and the African Plant database (version 4.0.0, http://africanplantdatabase.ch.>). The current database is based on plot surveys, morphospecies identification, physical specimens and observations in permanent and temporal sample plots.

While the eastern region is fairly well-documented for herpetofauna, the arid central and western regions are poorly surveyed. Given that the Province has been targeted by the national government for development of infrastructure, the overall deficiency of biodiversity data could result in impact assessments that are not well-informed. We, therefore, carried out herpetofaunal surveys over two years (2019–2020) in the North West Province to improve knowledge on the distributions of reptiles and amphibians. Our surveys added a total of 578 new records to an earlier baseline of 1340 records. In addition, over 300 records were added to a citizen-science platform in connection with our surveys. As compared to the previous 100 years, our surveys increased the herpetofaunal dataset by 68% in just two years, increased geographic coverage by 20% and brought the total number of species with accurate records for the Province to 102 reptiles and 23 amphibians. We also recorded range extensions for five reptile species and confirmed the presence of Dendroaspis polylepis (Black Mamba) in the west where it had been last recorded in 1996.

Initially the survey/project was conducted along the shoreline of southern Africa (estimated collection areas: 36). The survey/project was later expanded to surveying the estuaries of southern Africa (estimated collection areas: 17). The survey/project was completed by conducting deeper water trawls and dredges of the west, south and east coast of southern Africa. It is important to note that each collection area contains various collection sites, for example False Bay (collection area) contains an estimated 856 collection sites. The reference collection and registers were donated to the IZIKO South African museum in the 1960’s by UCT. Numerous amounts of literature have been published by using the data in the registers (Barnard 1951, Stock & Day 1959, Stock & Day 1962, Griffiths 1974, Blaber 1974 and Griffiths et al. 2010). Currently there are a number of taxanomic projects underway, that rely on the data contained within the registers. By making the data available in a sensible electronic format will greatly improve the time taken to complete current and future projects that rely on the registers for data. Along with the reference specimen collection it also contains a vast number of observational records, which could potentially provide a massive istorical database of species occurrences dating back to more than forty years ago.

Initially the survey/project was conducted along the shoreline of southern Africa (estimated collection areas: 36). The survey/project was later expanded to surveying the estuaries of southern Africa (estimated collection areas: 17). The survey/project was completed by conducting deeper water trawls and dredges of the west, south and east coast of southern Africa. It is important to note that each collection area contains various collection sites, for example False Bay (collection area) contains an estimated 856 collection sites. The reference collection and registers were donated to the IZIKO South African museum in the 1960’s by UCT. Numerous amounts of literature have been published by using the data in the registers (Barnard 1951, Stock & Day 1959, Stock & Day 1962, Griffiths 1974, Blaber 1974 and Griffiths et al. 2010). Currently there are a number of taxanomic projects underway, that rely on the data contained within the registers. By making the data available in a sensible electronic format will greatly improve the time taken to complete current and future projects that rely on the registers for data. Along with the reference specimen collection it also contains a vast number of observational records, which could potentially provide a massive historical database of species occurrences dating back to more than forty years ago. Datasets such as these could potentially give us greater insights into the effects of global change on biodiversity (Chapman 2005, Chapman 2010).] y.ebrahim@sanbi.org.za (Ya'qub Ebrahim) https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/eml.do?r=iziko_invertebrate https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/archive.do?r=iziko_invertebrate Thu, 28 Sep 2017 11:33:32 +0200 2429f28c-dc43-40e7-92f6-49206e0729fb/v1.0 https://ipt.sanbi.org.za/resource?r=sanbi_rare_and_threatened_plants [The Cape Floristic Region is one of the world's six floral kindoms, yet its phenomenal floral diversity is under extreme threat and more than 17 species have gone extinct in the past few decades. 72% of South Africa's threatened plants are found in this area.
