Euryops (Cass.)

Vlok, J. H. J., 2020, Three new species and one new subspecies of Euryops (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) from the Klein Karoo in the Western Cape Province, South Africa., South African Journal of Botany 133, pp. 167-173 : 172

3.5. 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).
