Red Data List of southern African plants. 2. Corrections and additions

This update to the Red Data List of southern African plants (Hilton-Taylor 1996a) follows the same format as that used in the first update (Hilton-Taylor 1996b). However, a major change in the methodology used is the application of the new IUCN Red List categories and cri­ teria (IUCN 1994). Wherever possible, all taxa added to the Red Data List and all those which have a change in status, have been evaluated using the new system in addition to assigning an old IUCN Red List category. The dual system of old and new IUCN categories will be maintained, until all taxa listed as threatened have been evaluated under the new system.
