| Abstract: | The Transvaal Threatened Plants Programme was initiated during 1976. After the publication of the first Threatened Plants Report for Southern Africa during 1980 (Hall et al., 1980) considerable progress has been made with the programme. The progress made with the taxonomic, practical, analytical phases and conservation of threatened plants is discussed. Although certain objectives were not achieved during the survey, sufficient data have been accumulated to recommend 43 conservation category changes. A total of 23 species were eliminated from the list of 216 threatened species of the Transvaal based on the findings of the distribution surveys. An updated checklist of 246 threatened plants, which includes 53 new threatened species, is presented for the Transvaal. |
