Name: Zambezian Cryptosepalum Dry Forest Macrogroup Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This macrogroup is classified within the tropical dry forest in spite of being characterized by the evergreen <i>Cryptosepalum exfoliatum ssp. pseudotaxus</i> and presented as a transition type between the evergreen Guineo-Congolian forest and the Zambezian woodlands. It occurs on a deep sand substrate and experiences two dry seasons; annual rainfall averages 800-1200 mm. <i>Guibourtia coleosperma</i> is often codominant. Towards central Barotseland, <i>Brachystegia spiciformis, Brachystegia longifolia</i>, and <i>Colophospermum mopane</i> become more frequent (Wild and Barbosa 1967). Other tall canopy trees include <i>Brachystegia floribunda, Syzygium guineense ssp. afromontanum, Bersama abyssinica, Erythrophleum africanum</i>, and <i>Combretum elaeagnoides</i> (Werger and Coetzee 1978). The understory is often dense and tangled, and dominant liana species include <i>Combretum microphyllum, Uvaria angolensis, Artabotrys monteiroae, Landolphia</i> sp., and <i>Diospyros undabunda</i>.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:40747-{DB3EBD3D-26B0-4DFD-AF3D-FDC080425981} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
