Abstract
A vegetation survey was conducted in the north-eastern Orange Free Sta te to investigate the woody plant communities occurring on the mountai n slopes. Releves were compiled in 84 stratified random sample plots. Braun-Blanquet procedures were applied to refine a TWINSPAN classifica tion of the vegetation. Nine plant communities were identified. A hier archical classification, description and ecological interpretation are presented.
