A First Quantification of Plant Endemism in the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe–Mozambique) and the Significance of Open Habitats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...
