Come to know and enjoy the renosterveld plant and animal species you’re seeing – while out in the veld, through the world’s first Field Guide to Renosterveld app. We have also now updated our app to include more species, new sections and new functionality!
This smartphone application contains 1,774 species – ranging from renosterveld plants, to the wildlife that calls renosterveld home.
It’s based on the printed Field Guide to Renosterveld of the Overberg – but with more than 600 additional species featured. And it has been written and compiled by the world’s foremost renosterveld experts.
Now with the updates included in 2025, you have access to more plants, mammals and birds, as well as a new section on lichens. There are in fact 22 lichen species included in the updated app.
Plant Smart Search
In 2025 we added new functionality to the app: our Plant Smart Search function. This allows you to better interact with the plant section on the app, by narrowing down your search via a series of plant options.
This is an ideal way to identify the species you see in the field via the app.
Your list
You can also use the app to log your observations of any of the species listed on the app. Here you can include where and when you saw the species, to start collecting data on your own renosterveld explorations.
The Field Guide to Renosterveld app is available for just R249.99, and once downloaded, you will own the app forever – with all updates included. If you already have the app and the update is not showing, then please visit your online store (Google Play Store & Apple App Store) and search for the app ‘Field Guide to Renosterveld’.
