Abstract

The vegetation of the Sani Pass area of the southern Drakensberg between 2 600-3 260 m is briefly described and illustrated. Air temperature and rainfall data are provided. A reference is made to the  Themeda triandra Grassland occurring on the summit of the Drakensberg at Ngwangwana Pass (Thamatuwe Pass), some 30 km south of Sani Pass.
