Afro—alpine vegetation
Afro—alpine vegetation On the highest mountains of Africa, above the dwarf or
elfin woodlands, are found shrublands and grasslands. These are alpine (
alpine zone) in character (hence the term ‘Afro-alpine’) and, besides containing plants found at lower altitudes in middle and high latitudes, they also include endemics (see
ENDEMISM), e.g. the giant lobelias and groundsels on Ruwenzori and Kilimanjaro.
