Abstract
An analysis of the plant communities of the Ca land type of the Bloemf ontein West District is presented. The Braun-Blanquet technique, suppl emented by TWINSPAN, was used for phytosociological classification of the vegetation of the study area. Eleven distinct vegetation units wer e recognized and described. An hierarchical classification is suggeste d and each vegetation unit is related to its particular environmental characteristics. Releves were compiled in 76 sample plots.
