• F - <strong>Forest</strong> dependent species: Species previously recorded as restricted to primary or closed canopy forest only, e.g. wet evergreen<br />
forest, dry evergreen forest and/or riverine forest;<br />
• f - <strong>Forest</strong> dwelling but not forest dependent: Species previously recorded in primary or closed canopy forest as defined above<br />
and/or in forest edge, clearings, secondary forest, deciduous forest and woodland, and<br />
• O - Non-forest species: These are species that do not occur in primary or secondary forest or forest edge (e.g. species that have<br />
been recorded in bushland, heathland, thicket, secondary scrub, grassland, rocky outcrops, swamps, wastelands and cultivation.<br />
Habitat: (based on Hamilton, 1989)<br />
• L - Lowland: Species occurring at altitudes less than 850m above sea level;<br />
• S - Submontane: Species occurring at altitudes greater than 850m above sea level.<br />
• M – Montane Species occurring at altitudes greater than 1,250m above sea level.<br />
If species occur in more than one habitat range, this has been recorded (e.g. L&S – this species has been recorded at altitudess between<br />
0 and 850m above sea level).<br />
Endemic status: (based on Iversen, 1991b):<br />
• E - Endemic: Occurring only in the Usambara mountains, EU - Range limited to the East Usambara Mountains, WU - Range<br />
limited to the West Usambara Mountains;<br />
