Name: Makaranga Swamp Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup encompasses a broad area of permanent swamps covering some 25,000 ha shared between Burundi and Rwanda, at an elevation of 1400 to 1470 m. Many of the higher tributary valleys are choked by papyrus, with seasonal swamp forest behind. This latter is dominated by <i>Syzygium guineense</i>, but with <i>Syzygium owariense</i> in the wettest sites, and often with <i>Ficus verruculosa</i> and <i>Myrica kandtiana</i> as associates. Seasonally inundated savannas, with <i>Acacia polyacantha var. campylacantha, Acacia sieberiana</i>, and <i>Bridelia nzicrantha</i> occur on the margins of Lake Tshohoha and around the permanent swamps.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40727-{620C8EF2-1DA3-4E8F-B637-6FACA0C1EC47} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
