  Taxonomy:  
     
  We classify the collected plants according their phenotypic traits. For this, we use standard botanical procedures (keys of determination) and try to update our results according to the most recent botanical nomenclature.  
     
  Setup:  
     
  collection of plantsCollection of plants (so far kormophytes only) across habitat types, in plots, along standardized transects, and ad libitum.  
     
 
 
     
  classificationFirst classification by vernacular names with help of local people (Nkundu)
