Faurea saligna - Transvaal Beechwood is widespread chiefly in the bushveld and mountain savannas. It has narrow leaves and a dark bark, resembling the Karee or a drooping Gum at a distance. The leaves turn bright red in autumn.

Fa sali has been atlassed at Malolotja. More excitingly, we appear to have many range extensions – these include:

• 2531 DC: MSA 920504 01: 25^o50.00’S 31^o36.15’E 440m Farm Jeppesrust469 on Swaziland Border – Frequent.

• 2630 DB: PHM 930204 01 & 02: 26^o36’S 30^o51’E 1198m and 26^o37’S 30^o50’E 1189m (details held by SNTC) – both 5 plants;

Most excitingly it has been recorded in the Lebombo Mountains – as "Common" – at:

• 2631 BD: ARA 940727 01: 26^o29’S 31^o57’E 510m (details held by SNTC);
• 2631 DB: PAW 921227 01: 26^o30’S 31^o56’E 500m (locality held by SNTC).

These need to be followed up – it also occurs at Mkuzi in Natal and may occur sporadically all along the Lebombo Mountains.

The herbarium record from 2631 CD also need to be investigated.
