Hello Justin This opens in Open Office too, no problem. Thanks Ina NZ Hi All, I was perusing the web and came across this list. They claim it is a complete assessment of all SA indigenous plant taxa. Dated 03 02 2009. I think that is Feb. 3, 2009 for US in the US. You will need an Exel viewer. Though any list like this would bound to omit some species. I think this is interesting to be able to see a fairly comprehensive list of plants from SA. With a little research maybe you will search this list for some gems that you did not know about and that you just can't live with or without.
