4.3.1.7 Range extensions<br />
In 1986 and 1987 a botanical <strong>survey</strong> was conducted in the East Usambara Mountains (Ruffo<br />
et al. 1989). 53 species recorded in vegetation plots in <strong>Mlinga</strong> FR were also recorded by<br />
Ruffo et al. (1989) to be present in <strong>Mlinga</strong> FR. A total <strong>of</strong> 82 additional species were recorded<br />
in <strong>Mlinga</strong> FR during the present <strong>survey</strong>, 49 <strong>of</strong> these were recorded by Ruffo et al. (1989) at<br />
other locations in the East Usambaras, whilst 38 species were not recorded at all by Ruffo et<br />
al. (1989). Table 11 lists these new records for <strong>Mlinga</strong> FR.<br />
Despite more than seven years systematic and opportunistic vegetation <strong>survey</strong> work by the<br />
EUBS team throughout the majority <strong>of</strong> the East Usambara <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong>s, 4 new species<br />
were found in the vegetation plots in <strong>Mlinga</strong> FR that were new to the East Usambara<br />
Biodiversity Database. These species are listed in Appendix 4.<br />
Table 11 Tree and shrub species found outside their previously recorded range in the East<br />
Usambara Mountains, and those species not listed by the 1986/7 <strong>survey</strong> (Ruffo et al., 1989).<br />
