Namibia is divided into various vegetation
zones. The Naukluft and its environs belong to the escarpment zone,
which is characterised by species richness and the occurrence of many
endemics. Of particular note is the Commiphora glaucescens, a dwarf
tree with a glossy, golden yellow bark. Two species endemic to Namibia
are mainly found in the Naukluft area. They are Euclea asperrima,
the mountain quarri, and the Rhuss volkii, the Naukluft Rhus. >>
