Buffelskloof has a new species of Seriphium (‘Slangbos’), described by MSc student Zaynab Shaik from the University of Cape Town. She and her supervisor, Dr Nicola Bergh, visited Buffelskloof in July 2017 as part of her country-wide fieldwork towards her study of the genus Serphium (Asteraceae). In her thesis, Zaynab, named the new species Seriphium burrowsii, based upon flowering plant material collected by Barbara and John in September 2017. The original specimen, or holotype (right), is housed in BNRH, while a duplicate (the isotype) was sent to WAG (Naturalis, Leiden).
