Species possibly occurring in Botswana 

Some taxa are mentioned in various literature sources as occurring in Botswana, but we have 

been unable to locate any specimens in UCBG, SRGH, PRE, WIND, or K. As we therefore have no 

voucher specimens proving that these taxa have actually been collected in Botswana, we list 

them separately here. They should be considered as possibly occurring in Botswana, and if 

found, we would appreciate duplicate specimens to be sent to UCBG.

morotomadi, mukwa, senyamadi, thotamadi; 

African teak, bloodwood, kiaat 

Spirostachys africana 

morekhure, morukuru; African mahogany tree,

The Forest Act, however, makes provision 

for the use of some of these species for certain 

specified purposes by inhabitants of towns 

or villages adjacent to state lands. 

Setshogo & Hargreaves (2002) list three tree 

species in the Botswana Red Data List (RDL). 

These are Acacia hebeclada subsp. chobiensis, 

A. hebeclada subsp. tristis and Erythrophysa 

transvaalensis. The two Acacia hebeclada subspecies 

are listed because of their limited distribution 

and also because they occupy fragile 

habitats. A. hebeclada subsp. chobiensis 

occurs in the Okavango Delta and is sensitive 

to unnatural water level fluctuations. A. hebeclada 

subsp. tristis is said to occur in the northwest 

of the country along fossil river valleys. 

Unfortunately, no specimen of the tree species 

exists in any of the herbaria consulted. 

Erythrophysa transvaalensis is very rare and 

has only been recorded from the rocky wooded 

hills of the Shoshong area. The species in the 

RDL are indicated by an ® in the list.
