Red Data List of southern African plants. 1. corrections and additions

The recently published Red Data List of southern Af­ rican plants (Hilton-Taylor 1996), by its very nature, is dynamic and constantly changing. It was therefore pro­ posed that any corrections to the List, such as changes in names, conservation status and distributions; deletions; and new additions, should be published annually in Bothalia to provide users of the List with information as up-to-date as possible. These corrections and additions will form a series similar to the contributions to the Flora of southern Africa (FSA) published in Bothalia as ‘FSA contributions’.
