Claims

  1. Aspalathus linearis (family Fabaceae) is a strict endemic limited to the Cederberg in the Western Cape and the southern Bokkeveld plateau in the Northern Cape, within the Cape Floristic Region's fynbos biome. Wild populations include reseeders in the Cederberg and resprouters (regrowing from an underground lignotuber after fire) in the Northern Cape.
    "Strict endemic species, limited to areas of the Cederberg (Western Cape) and the southern Bokkeveld plateau (Northern Cape) in the greater Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa"
