Abstract
The vegetation of the lb Land Type in the Villiers – Grootvlei area was classified by means of the Braun-Blanquet method. A total of 41 relevés in this land type were used. Six main plant communities were identified, with one of the communities divided into two sub-communities. The plant communities were related to specific environmental conditions that were confirmed by the ordination (Decorana) of the data. Die plantegroei van die lb-landtipe in die Villiers – Grootvlei omgewing is deur middel van die Braun-Blanquet metode geklassifiseer. ’n Totaal van 41 relevés is in die landtipe uitgeplaas. Ses hoofplantgemeenskappe is onderskei, waarvan een verder in twee sub-gemeenskappe verdeel is. Die plantgemeenskappe is gekoppel aan spesifieke omgewingstoestande wat deur ’n ordening (Decorana) bevestig is.
