Six vegetation types are described following an incipient zonation pattern along an altitude gradient from 1 900 to above 2 400 m. A more visible change in vegetation was encountered in the 2 200 to 2 300 m zone, where more montane species reminiscent of winter rainfall flora and karroid plant species appeared. These were present from here onwards up into the highest reaches of the mountains. These vegetation zones are hence of greatest conservation importance.
