DATA SOURCE
a – Flora of Tropical East Africa (FTEA) (Turril & Milne-Redhead et al. 1952-), b - Clarke, Vollesen & Mwasumbi
(2000), c – Clarke (1995), d – List of East African Plants (LEAP) (Knox 2000), e – Flora Zambesica (FZ) (Exell &
Wild et al. 1960-).
Seven species recorded opportunistically (14%) represent new records for Coastal Forests, i.e.
they do not appear in florulas given by Clarke, Vollesen and Mwasumbi (2000) or Clarke (1995).
All are trees or shrubs with widespread distributions.
Five species (10%) recorded through opportunistic collection are considered forest dependent
species. As for the vegetation plot and regeneration plot analysis, these include species confined
to ‘forest’, Brachystegia Forest and Riverine Forest. One of these species is the endemic Milletia
puguensis whilst others include the introduced Tectona grandis (teak) and the pioneer species
Trema orientalis.
One species (2%) recorded through opportunistic collection is endemic to the Pugu Hills; the
liane Milletia puguensis. Seven species (14%) are endemic to the Swahilian Regional Centre of
Endemism sensu lato . Of these 7 species, two are confined to the regions K7, T3, 6 and 8;
Ophrypetalum odoratum and Rothmania macrosphon, and the rest to more than four regions (see
Table 3 for an explanation of abbreviations).
