Abstract
The vegetation of the Ea Land Type in the Villiers - Grootvlei area wa s classified by means of Braun-Blanquet procedures. A total of 77 rele ves in the land type were used. On the high-lying areas two major plan t communities were encountered, one of which was divided into two sub- communities. On the low-lying areas five major plant communities were recorded, one of which was divided into five sub-communities and anoth er into two sub-communities. A DECORANA Ordination confirmed that the communities are related to specific environmental conditions.
