Identified Plants of the Rooiels Nature Reserve

The Rooiels Nature Reserve was proclaimed by the Province in 1984 and an Advisory Board for the Nature Reserve was procalimed in 1996  by the premier of the Western Cape and consisted of the following persons:              
Prof Anthony Hall (chair), Eldie Brink (secretary), Evette Weyers,  Gerard Scholtz, Frank Raymond, Craig Spencer (Municipal Nature Conservation Officer) and Mark Johns (Western Cape nature Conservation.

After the Fire of 1997 - Anuta Scholtz and Jean Cowan took a course in botanical plant identification methods.  They then collected flowering plants - the flower, the plant and the roots.  These were submitted to BOLUS for identification.  They worked with a student to mount the specimens using materials donated by .........  Prof Anthony Hall then donated a special specimen cupboard which was used to house the collection.  After some time it was decided that the Harold Porter Gardens would be the best place to store and archive the collection.  Below is the Accessions List of the 84 plant species submitted and identified.
​
Research carried out in the Nature Reserve by Residents resulted in a Collection of Plants that is now hosted in the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens.  You can download the PDF - or see the list below
