The latter authors note that the largest patch is centred on Darling and state that this is a critically endangered vegetation unit of which almost 80% has already been transformed due to the prime quality of the land for agriculture. Indeed, from the top of the Darling Renosterveld Reserve it may be seen that, apart from the village below, the surrounding countryside, with the exception of the tops of some hills too difficult to plough, is in all directions given over to wheat fields.
