Category:Lichens of South Africa

This category contains the native lichens of South Africa. The World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD) does not recognize South Africa as a whole, instead dividing it into four regions:

• CPP – Cape Provinces: Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and Western Cape; see Category:Flora of the Cape Provinces
• NAT – KwaZulu-Natal; see Category:Flora of KwaZulu-Natal
• OFS – Free State; see Category:Flora of the Free State
• TVL – Northern Provinces: Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Northern Province (Limpopo) and North-West Province; see Category:Flora of the Northern Provinces

Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic.

Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries). Use regional categories when taxa have a larger distribution that is approximately coincides with that taxon's distribution (e.g. Category:Lichens of Southern Africa) instead of each subordinate category of that region.
