Euryops
in the Klein Karoo
With the addition of these three species, a total of 16 species of
Euryops
are now known to occur in the Klein Karoo region. Seven species (
E. bertilii
,
E. bolusii
B.Nord.
,
E. dasyphyllus
,
E. diosmiphyllus
,
E. erectus
(Compt.) B.Nord.
,
E. glutinosus
B.Nord.
and
E
. sp. 1 (
Manning and Goldblatt, 2012
)) and two subspecies (
E. subcarnosus
subsp.
subcarnosus
and
E. subcarnosus
subsp.
fallax
) are endemic to this region.
Nordenstam (1969)
did not regard this region as a centre of
Euryops
species
richness, but it is now comparable in species richness and degree of endemism to those of his Sneeuberg Centre (
Nordenstam et al., 2009
).
