| A beautifull E. altensteinii or Eastern Cape cycad is reasonably common in cultivation but wild populations are threatend. |

- 18 done - about 1682 to go...
- An unusual tree on this page for this update. There are about 41 indigenous species of cycads in southern Africa and about 18 of them are classified as trees. They are divided into two families - 40 of the species belongs to the Encephalartos family and one to the Stangeria family.
- I`ve promised some people that I`ll have the Marula tree or Sclerocarya birrea subsp. africana in this update but I have only recently got hold of some fruit and seed. This tree will be listed in the next update. If you haven`t smelled a ripe Marula fruit you haven`t smelled the bushveld!
- The trees added in this update is Gardenia volkensii subsp. spatulifolia or Bushveld gardenia and Buddleja saligna or False olive. Both of these are excelent garden subjects.
