Three new species of Aspalathus (Crotalarieae, Fabaceae) from the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa

We describe and illustrate three species of Aspalathus from the poorly explored Baviaanskloof Biosphere Reserve, and the Klein Swartberg mountains of South Africa as new: Aspalathus chlorina C.H.Stirt. & Muasya, A. vulpicaudata C.H.Stirt. & Muasya, and A. outrampsii C.H.Stirt. & Muasya. IUCN red data list assessments are also provided, along with a distribution map and notes on ecology.
