  • Notes

    Updated Mar 2017 (general update). The KSAN herbarium is also linked to a field guide herbarium which is used in the Parks. In the KSAN herbarium – each of the different SANParks have its own specific Herbarium cabinet. It is also supported by a Photographic Field Guide Herbarium for each of the Parks, which is being used by tourists and external researchers. We are still busy with data capturing for most of the Parks
