Geissorhiza splendidissima

The Red Data List of South African plants is a list that includes all the plant taxa that have been assessed according to their risk of extinction in the near future. For information on each of these species, please visit the ECOPORT website :http://www.ecoport.org

The Microsoft Excel file, "TSP LIST", provides the Red Data List with various assessments:

• The first assessments were made in 1996 by Craig Hilton-Taylor using IUCN Red listing Criteria modified from Davis et.al. (1986).
• In 2002, Janine Victor reassessed 25% of South Africa's threatened flora using IUCN Version 2.3 criteria and these assessments are also included in "THE LIST".
• While the accompanying Red Data list represents a thorough examination of the majority of threatened plant species in South Africa, we are currently working on updating, expanding and improving this list, making use of the new IUCN Red List Criteria (Versions 3.0 & 3.1). Hence we provide a summary for each taxon of its most up-to-date Red List status (in April 2005) and suggest that this be used until the new Red Data List is produced (May 2006).
