South African indigenous forests were the subject of a classification exercise aimed at definition of major forest types and construction of a simple hierarchical vegetation system for the purposes of biodiversity conservation and large-scale planning. Field data (in total almost 4500 vegetation relevés) were classified (and subject to other numeric-analytical pattern seeking tools) to achieve our goals. This paper is describing and discussing the major features of the approach used. Points of departure and their consequences for the data-analyses are presented, motivation for particular choice of techniques is revealed and technical issues of the analyses discussed in detail. The approach featured in this paper can serve as a raw pattern for methodological basis for other endeavours involving classification of vegetation in South Africa.

Data from 29 vegetation studies done in the socalled Central Bushveld, South Africa (a large region N and NW of Pretoria), were subject to syntaxonomic synthesis using TWINSPAN and further refined with traditional tablesorting procedures of the floristic-sociological approach to classification of vegetation. The analysis revealed four major groups of communities, interpreted at this stage as zonal vegetation classes which we preliminarily name: Commiphoro mollis-Colophospermetea mopani, Panico maximi-Acaciatea tortilis, Terminalio sericeae-Combretetea apiculati and Englerophyto magalismontani-Acacietea caffrae.
