    Response to Matthews et al. (2001) vegetation of the Tembe Elephant Park, Maputaland, South Africa
    (2003) Kirkwood, D; Midgley, J J
    The contribution of Matthews et al. (2001) to our knowledge of the vegetation of Tembe Elephant Park (TEP) is both valuable and timely. Tembe is at the epicentre of the Maputaland Centre of Endemism (Van Wyk 1994), which, together with the Pondoland Centre, is likely to be recognized in the near future as a global biodiversity hotspot by Conservation International (S Frazee pers. comm.). Currently there are only 25 of these areas of exceptional diversity and endemism which are also substantially transformed by humans (Myers 1990).
