Out of the 20 target species, 8 have now been observed. As we're nearing the end of the flowering season, it is unlikely that new taxa will be added to the project this year (with the exception of Bonatea porrecta and perhaps Habenaria schimperiana), but more observations and localities will still be coming in especially for the Bonateas.

So the first year of general surveys and locality identification has been quite succesful. Next year the main focus will still be the identification of new localities, particularly for species not yet observed. And a start will be made on systematic assessment of key populations.

The job is afoot!
