LAKE NYASA CLIMATIC REGION FLORISTIC CHECKLIST Roy E. Gereau,1 Asukile R. Kajuni,2 Tim R. B. Davenport,3 and Henry J. Ndangalasi4 ABSTRACT The Lake Nyasa Climatic Region described in this study is composed of the Livingstone, Kipengere, Mbeya, and Umalila ranges, Mporoto Ridge, Mt. Rungwe, and the Kitulo Plateau. The region is located on the rift escarpment at the northeast end of Lake Nyasa. Floristic studies in the area reveal many unique plants, some of which are endemic to this region. The climate of the region is governed by altitude and its proximity to Lake Nyasa, which results in generation of high convectional rainfall. The high rainfall and diversity of habitats interacting with soils and other environmental factors in the area are responsible for the richness of the flora, and current identifications of vascular plant taxa have yielded a total of 170 families, 733 genera, and 1735 species. The Lake Nyasa Climatic Region, therefore, has nearly 14% of the estimated total of 12,500 vascular plant species in all of Tropical East Africa (H. Beentje, pers. comm.). The largest families in the flora are Fabaceae (s. str. excluding Caesalpiniaceae and Mimosaceae; 156 species in 42 genera), Asteraceae (139/55), Poaceae (124/50), Rubiaceae (119/49), and Orchidaceae (97/28); the largest genera are Crotalaria L. (Fabaceae, 30 species), Indigofera L. (Fabaceae, 22 species), Vernonia Schreb. (Asteraceae, 21 species), Cyperus L. (Cyperaceae, 21 species), Habenaria Willd. (Orchidaceae, 18 species), and Plectranthus L’Hér. (Lamiaceae, 18 species). Taxa here reported as new to East Africa are Cephalanthus natalensis Oliv. (Rubiaceae), Cerastium dregeanum Fenzl (Caryophyllaceae), Cynorkis symoensii Geerinck & Tournay (Orchidaceae), Dianthus zeyheri Sond. subsp. zeyheri (Caryophyllaceae), Panicum inaequilatum Stapf & C. E. Hubb. (Poaceae), Rhynchosia caribaea (Jacq.) DC. var. caribaea (Fabaceae), Tricalysia longituba De Wild. var. longituba (Rubiaceae), Tricalysia ngalaensis Robbr. (Rubiaceae), and Triumfetta angolensis Sprague & Hutch. (Tiliaceae); new to Tanzania from elsewhere in East Africa are Erica kingaensis Engl. subsp. bequaertii (De Wild.) R. Ross (Ericaceae), Peperomia fernandopoiana C. DC. var. butaguensis (De Wild.) Düll (Piperaceae), and Raphidiocystis jeffreyana A. Fern. & R. Fern. (Cucurbitaceae). The Lake Nyasa Climatic Region is located in the Iringa and Mbeya regions of Tanzania (frontispiece), and covers approximately 1200 km2 (120,000 hectares) between latitude 8°50' and 9°32'S and longitude 33°15' and 34°09'E (Fig. 1). It extends to the southwest from the Eastern Arc Mountains of East Africa (Fig. 2), which are characterized by small and fragmented mountain blocs each having a patchwork of dense tropical forests and montane vegetation. It encompasses Kitulo National Park, Mpanga/Kipengere Game Reserve, and the following gazetted forest reserves: Mt. Rungwe, Chimala Scarp, Umalila, Sawago, Mporoto Ridge, Irenga, Irungu, Chuvwi, Masukulu, Kabulo, Kyosa, Mswima, Iyondo, Mpara, Mbeya Range, North Usafwa, Ileje Range, and Kyejo. The Lake Nyasa Climatic Region lies on the junction of the eastern and western arms of the Great Rift Valley of Africa, which runs from Mozambique through Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Eritrea into Saudi Arabia. A closer scrutiny of the study area reveals many similarities to the Eastern Arc Mountains, which include the Udzungwa, Uluguru, Mahenge, Malundwe, Rubeho, Ukaguru, Nguru, Nguu, East Usambara, West Usambara, South Pare, and North Pare mountains in Tanzania, and the Taita Hills in Kenya (Platts et al., 2011). These discontinuous blocs of mountains described as “Galapagos Islands of Africa” have recently been a taxonomist’s paradise, and new discoveries are being made regularly. Although our study area forms a southern extension of this ecologically important zone (Burgess et al., 2004), it has only recently started receiving attention. It is possible that the climatic influences associated with altitude and Lake Nyasa are responsible for the botanical differences between this area and the Eastern Arc Mountains (Fig. 2). However, recent and ongoing work by the Wildlife Conservation Society (Davenport, 2004, 2005, 2006; Jones et al., 2005; Davenport et al., 2006) has shown that this separation is not as marked 1 Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O.

From the Makambako Gap the study area runs southwest to the northern tip of Lake Nyasa and forms a continuous range of high-altitude mountain ranges that divide the water catchment area into two drainage patterns: the northbound flowing into the Indian Ocean and the southbound flowing into Lake Nyasa. Several rivers and streams fed by numerous tributaries drain the flanks of the ridge, including Ruaha, Rumakali, Kiwira, Lufirio, Mbaka, Chimala, Kimani, Songwe, and Mbarali. Elton and Cotteril (1879) wrote the first account of the floristic richness of the Kitulo Plateau, originally known as the Elton Plateau. Thereafter in the 20th century, several workers made attempts to describe some major resources including vascular plants from part of the areas surrounding the plateau. However, interest in the Kitulo Plateau was particularly intense due to the uniqueness of its LakeNyasa_5-18.indd 2 resources and to the area’s great potential for intensive agricultural development, sheep and dairy farming. The following studies have been particularly useful in providing insights into the natural resources of the Kitulo Plateau and surrounding areas: Gillman (1927), Greenway (1955), Hedberg (1957), Kerfoot (1964), Napper (1965), Prins and Prins-Lampert (1974), Cribb and Leedal (1982), TISCO (1983), Lovett et al. (1994), Lovett and Prins (1994), Davenport (2002, 2006), Davenport and Ndangalasi (2003), Davenport and Bytebier (2004), and Davenport et al. (2006, 2008). The Lake Nyasa Climatic Region is of great ecological and phytogeographic importance for a number of reasons. The Indian Ocean drainage from this area is the source of the Ruaha, Mbarali, and Chimala rivers and numerous other streams that feed and provide constant recharge to the Usangu wetlands and floodplains that are impor- 5/31/12 3:59 PM Lake Nyasa Climatic Region Floristic Checklist 3 Figure 2.

Much of the Usangu Plains have recently been gazetted as an extension of the Ruaha National Park and provide important refuge and grazing grounds for wildlife; the Usangu wetlands feed into the Great Ruaha River, whose waters are an important source of hydroelectric power, supplying over 60% of all electricity consumed in the country through the national grid from dams LakeNyasa_5-18.indd 3 impounded at Mtera and Kidatu (Power et al., 1997; NORPLAN, 2002). The irrigation schemes for the Kilombero sugar plantations and rice farms are dependent on waters from the Ruaha River, and the whole Rufiji Delta with its rich marine and other aquatic resources depends on water resources from the Southern Highlands. The southern drainage from the region is the source of the Rumakali, Songwe, Kiwira, Mbaka, and Lufirio rivers, which water Rungwe District with its important cash 5/31/12 3:59 PM 4 Gereau et al.

The Kitulo Plateau has been described as harboring “one of the great floral spectacles of the world,” where rolling montane grassland and patches of forest provide a unique environment and unparalleled botanical display with a plethora of globally significant flora and fauna (Davenport, 2002; Davenport & Bytebier, 2004). Management of natural and physical resources requires knowledge about the biology, ecology, and their interrelationship in space and time. Information about these resources is essential in order to guide decision-making processes about appropriate land uses and how best to manage and preserve them (Mwakilema & Davenport, 2005). Therefore, the Wildlife Conservation Society is working to understand better the flora, fauna, invertebrates, and other associated resources found in the region (Davenport, 2004, 2006), which is so critical at this point as a result of increased human populations and globalization of the economy. The open market economy has provided incentives for people to increase their agricultural produce through cultivating more land and encroaching on areas that originally were reserved for conservation purposes. Uncontrolled cultivation for agricultural LakeNyasa_5-18.indd 4 crops results in loss of an important genetic pool from the original, indigenous flora due to change in the natural vegetation structure and composition. As more of the natural environment is converted to agricultural land, it means a loss in indigenous natural flora and fauna. The loss in indigenous natural resources through extinction is tantamount to a lost opportunity for science and human use, as we cannot recreate the natural world. CLIMATE OF STUDY AREA Pratt and Gwynne (1977) described the climatic conditions of the study area as having one single season rainfall from November to May and a dry season from June to October. The mean annual rainfall is variable depending on altitude and proximity to Lake Nyasa but lies between 1200 and 2950 mm. The number of rainy days ranges between 117 in Kyela along Lake Nyasa and 159 days on the Kitulo Plateau (Atlas of Tanzania, 1967; TISCO, 1983). Long-term climatic data have been collected and kept at Kitulo Dairy Farm, which over a 30-year period show that December to April receives the heaviest rainfall, averaging 231.9 mm per month, and June to September receives the least amount, with average monthly precipitation below 10 mm (Fig. 3). 5/31/12 3:59 PM Lake Nyasa Climatic Region Floristic Checklist 5 Figure 4. Mean monthly maximum and minimum and soil temperatures for Kitulo Dairy Farm (1965–1982). Source: TISCO (1983). The plateau has a relatively uniform cool, moist climate, cool temperatures, low evapotranspiration rates, few sunshine hours per day, and brisk winds; the mean minimum and maximum temperatures are 3.1°C and 16.5°C, respectively. The soil temperatures show similar trends, with both air and soil temperatures being coolest in July and warmest in October (Fig. 4). During the cool season (June, July, and August), the air temperatures frequently dip below freezing and ground frosts occur almost every night. The lowest daily mean minimum temperature recorded at Kitulo was –9.5°C in July of 1973. Mean grass minimum temperatures are normally below 0°C for the months of June through September. The maximum hours of sunshine and radiation occur during the dry, cool season, at which time the sky is relatively clear (Figs. 5 and 6). Solar radiation peaks in August, which is also the month of maximum daily sunshine hours (7.5 hours). Both hours of sunshine and radiation start to decrease in September and reach their minimum in January. The weather records from Kitulo generally represent the climatic conditions obtained in the highlands and high-altitude areas within the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region. Kitulo Dairy Farm has maintained uninterrupted long-term meteorological data collection that is quite reliable and therefore used to illustrate the weather conditions LakeNyasa_5-18.indd 5 found in the entire study area. However, localized differences resulting from physiographic conditions provide some exceptions to this general pattern. To the southwest of Mt. Rungwe, for example, convectional rain from Lake Nyasa continues throughout most of the year (Table 1). GEOLOGY AND SOILS Geologically, the rock formations in the study area are derived from the Ubendian system of stratigraphical units that have been aged in the Late Archaean era about 2000 to 1600 million years ago. Superimposed on the Ubendian Belt are zones of intense recent Proterozoic deformations (Early Proterozoic dates between 1600 million years and 750 million years), which have obscured and in some cases completely obliterated Late Archaean structures. These structures were further complicated by extensive continued faulting activity during the Karoo Rift episodes, where certain areas are still seismically active (Harpum, 1970). The Ubendian system is characterized by greater amounts of metamorphosed igneous rocks and by the presence of charnockitic rocks. For example, the rock formation of the Livingstone Mountains is of anorthositic composition with intrusive basic and ultra-basic complexes. As an example of the superimposition of more recent Proterozoic defor- 5/31/12 3:59 PM 6 Gereau et al. Figure 5. Mean daily sunshine (hours/day) for Kitulo Dairy Farm (1965–1982).

The plateau is composed of Pliocene basaltic and phonolitic lavas to an average depth of 150 m, which overlay pre-Karoo formations (Harkin, 1960). The soils range from humic ferrallitic on various parent materials to humic ferrisols of high-altitude regions (Atlas of Tanzania, 1967). In all, six principal soil types have been identified for Kitulo and are related to physiographic factors as shown in Table 2. ECOLOGY Much of the area of the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region lies in eco-climatic zone II and a small area in zone I (Pratt & Gwynne, 1977). Zone I is characterized by an Afroalpine climate governed mostly by altitude and is dominated by Afroalpine moorland and montane grassland above the forest line, while eco-climatic zone II comprises highlands with a tropical climate. The Lake Nyasa Climatic Region has the largest and one of the most important Afromontane and Afroalpine grassland communities in the country (White, 1983). The land in this eco-climatic zone is the center of forest industry, although it also has large tracts under intensive subsistence agriculture or under cultivation for LakeNyasa_5-18.indd 7 cash crops like tea and coffee. The dominant vegetation includes moist forests and derived grassland and bushland with or without glades. The indigenous montane and upper montane forests in these areas are the sources of economically important large forest trees including Ficalhoa laurifolia Hiern (Theaceae), Juniperus procera Hochst. ex Engl. (Cupressaceae), Ocotea usambarensis Engl. (Lauraceae), Podocarpus latifolius (Thunb.) R. Br. ex Mirb. (Podocarpaceae), and Pouteria adolfifriedericii (Engl.) A. Meeuse subsp. australis (J. H. Hemsl.) L. Gaut. (Sapotaceae). There are also significant areas of bamboo forest dominated by Sinarundinaria alpina (K. Schum.) C. S. Chao & Renvoize (Poaceae). Bushland or evergreen shrubland are the commonest derivatives where shifting cultivation has been practiced or where forest has been disturbed but not burned with sufficient regularity to maintain grassland. COLLECTING HISTORY James Elton, the British consul to Mozambique, was probably the first botanical explorer of the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region (Moffett, 1958); he crossed the Kitulo Plateau in late October 1877 and published the first account of its floristic composition (Elton & Cotteril, 1879). German botanists, most notably W. Goetze and A. Stolz, carried out most subsequent plant collection in the area through the end of World War I; Engler and Goetze (1902) included Mt. Rungwe in their work on the montane vegetation of Tanzania. After World War I, the area received relatively sporadic attention from plant collectors (with the notable exception of H. J. Schlieben in Njombe District) until Mary Richards began her extensive collecting in the Mbeya and Njombe highlands in 1956, continuing through much of the 1960s (Cribb & Leedal, 1982). Many of the plant collectors working in the area from the 1970s until the present have been associated with the Flora of Tropical East Africa (see Beentje & Smith, 2001), the National Herbarium of Tanzania, the University of Dar es Salaam, the Missouri Botanical Garden, or the Wildlife Conservation Society. Despite a relatively large number of collections, floristic checklists and/or vegetation descriptions have been published only for Mbeya Peak (Kerfoot, 1964) and the Kitulo Plateau (Prins & Prins-Lampert, 1974; Lovett et al., 1994). CONSERVATION STATUS Although much of the land area in the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region is gazetted as Forest Reserves and 5/31/12 3:59 PM 8 Gereau et al. Table 2. Kitulo Plateau Soil Types in relation to physiographic regions. Source: TISCO (1983). Soil type Physiographic region found Black organic loam underlain by pumice Undulating to hilly plateau Black organic loam over very dark grey loam over pumice Undulating to hilly plateau Shallow, black organic loam over loamy pumice over clay loam Rolling to steeply dissected highlands Black peaty loam over pumice Flat to almost flat floodplains Shallow black loam over clay over weathered schistose bedrock Hilly to steeply dissected highlands Shallow, very dark brown stony loam over bedrock; very dark grey or black loam over bedrock Steeply dissected to mountainous theoretically accorded a legal protection status, there are serious problems that lead to continued loss of indigenous montane forests. Continued conversion to farmland and pine plantations and uncontrolled human encroachment and cultivation have completely altered the natural vegetation patterns. Some information is available on the extent of loss of montane forest habitat from illegal harvesting, fuelwood collection, and logging (Machaga et al., 2004, 2005), and this loss is also the subject of ongoing research; it is obvious that thinning and opening up of the forest has occurred in all areas. Some forests that were once almost impenetrable have been opened up in the last 30 years for potato and pyrethrum farming. The reduction in the size of these once intact indigenous montane forests poses serious threats to their capacity to ensure a stable, high-quality supply and recharge of water in the hydrological cycle. In addition, the indigenous montane forests play other important functions in the prevention of soil erosion, loss of topsoil, and damage from landslides, as well as providing valuable non-timber forest products and medicines for thousands of people (Machaga et al., 2004, 2005). Only the intact natural forest can sustain the intricate processes of water movements through vegetation and soil. The bryophyte and lichen epiphytes on woody plants are particularly important to ensure the interception and storage of large amounts of rainwater that are released slowly and recharge the water table. The Usangu Plain and Kilombero agricultural irrigation schemes, the Mtera and Kidatu hydroelectric power stations, and the Rufiji Basin depend entirely on the water LakeNyasa_5-18.indd 8 from the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region, as do the Kyela rice schemes. Many long-term residents of the surrounding districts of Rungwe, Mbeya Rural, Mbeya Urban, Makete, Njombe, Ileje, and Kyela have witnessed changing hydrologic patterns and noted a reduction in the volume of water in most perennial rivers, and many once perennial streams have become intermittent. Continued degradation of the area’s high watershed values and the presence of many endemic and unique plants in the area have stimulated reconsideration of the protection status of many key areas. Following the gazetting of Kitulo National Park in 2004, it is now extremely important that other areas of this region be accorded better protection due to the current lack of management strategies and the increase in inappropriate land use practices. Resource use associated with the increase in the human and livestock populations is often unsustainable, resulting in environmental degradation. There is a growing awareness of the importance of conservation, but progress takes time. The environmental management schemes in Makete and Njombe districts have yielded positive results, but are not practiced throughout the study area. However, in October 2002 the government, as a result of increased pressure arising from an increase of human activities resulting in unsustainable use of resources in the Usangu Plains and the surrounding areas, announced the gazettement of the Mpanga/Kipengere area as a protected area (Game Reserve). The Game Reserve covers an area of 1574.25 km2 in part of the study area abutting 5/31/12 3:59 PM Lake Nyasa Climatic Region Floristic Checklist the three districts of Njombe, Makete, and Mbarali (Staddon et al., 2003). The Mpanga/Kipengere Game Reserve comprises very important watercatchment areas. The Kitulo Plateau, lying between the rugged peaks of the Kipengere, Uporoto, and Livingstone mountains, was gazetted as a national park in 2004 (Davenport, 2002; Davenport & Bytebier, 2004) in order to ensure the protection and preservation of an area that supports the largest and most important montane grassland community in Tanzania (Mwakilema & Davenport, 2005). Much of the park is located at ca. 2600 m on well-watered volcanic soils. However, the park also covers significant amounts of montane forest (Davenport et al., 2006). Kitulo National Park is located in the headwaters and forms the most important watersheds for the Great Ruaha River and is also well known for its floral significance. ORGANIZATION, FORMAT, AND NOTATION OF CHECKLIST Families are listed alphabetically within the divisions Pteridophyta, Pinophyta (Gymnospermae), and Magnoliophyta (Angiospermae). Within Pteridophyta and Pinophyta, family circumscriptions follow Kubitzki (1990). Within Magnoliophyta, family circumscriptions for Liliopsida (Monocotyledonae) follow Dahlgren (1985); those for Magnoliopsida (Dicotyledonae) follow Cronquist (1981), with the exception of Hebenstretia L., which is here included in the Scrophulariaceae. Genera, species, and infraspecific taxa are listed alphabetically within families. One or more species appearing without specific epithets at the end of genera (e.g., “Xysmalobium sp.” appearing twice under Asclepiadaceae) are known to be different from other species in the same genus cited in the checklist but have not been positively identified, and thus may be either new to science or disjunct from another geographic area and not yet reported from the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region. A single reference is given to support the use of each species (or infraspecific taxon) name in the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region; this is not the original place of publication of the name unless that is the principal literature used for specimen identification or the only literature available. Publications other than major African floras are listed in full in the Literature Cited. Selected major African floras are cited using the following standard abbreviations: F.T.A. = Flora of Tropical Africa (Oliver, 1868–1877; Dyer, 1896–1913; Prain, 1916–1934; Hill, 1937; see also Stafleu & Cowan, 1981); F.T.E.A. = Flora of Tropical East Africa (Turrill & Milne-Redhead, 1952–1958; Hubbard & Milne- LakeNyasa_5-18.indd 9 9 Redhead, 1958–1966; Milne-Redhead & Polhill, 1966–1972; Polhill, 1973–1978, 1982–1997; Beentje, 1998–2007, 2010; Beentje & Ghazanfar, 2005–2009; see also Beentje & Smith, 2001); F.W.T.A. = Flora of West Tropical Africa, second edition (Keay, 1954, 1958; Hepper, 1963–1972); Fl.

Elevational ranges are taken directly from herbarium labels; a single number indicates that only one collection exists, or that only one label indicated elevation. Abbreviations cited for mountain ranges under “Distribution” in the checklist are as follows (Kipengere and Umalila ranges not included due to insufficient collections): KP = Kitulo Plateau; MP = Mbeya Range (including Mbeya Peak and Mt. Loleza); MR = Mporoto Ridge (including Ngozi Crater); NL = Northern Livingstone Mountains (i.e., north of Rumakali River); RM = Rungwe Mountain; SL = Southern Livingstone Mountains (i.e., south of Rumakali River). A single representative specimen is cited for each species or infraspecific taxon unless the type specimen was collected within the Lake Nyasa Climatic Region, in which case the type and one other specimen (if any) are cited. Herbaria of deposit are indicated for type specimens. Most other cited specimens are deposited in DSM, EA, K, MO, or NHT.
