This vegetation unit occurs at the foot of the mountain in a band running across its foothills and down onto the more sandy plains. It is extremely difficult to detect any clear boundary between the renosterveld and the karroid vegetation, that is why it should rather be classified as a transitional and ecotonal landscape and vegetation unit. It ranges from almost pure renosterveld, at slightly higher altitudes, to a grassy, succulent vegetation type on the open plain.

• Mountain Fynbos on sandstone
• Plateau Fynbos on sandy mountain tops
• Grassy Fynbos on the shale slopes
• Succulent Karoo on the plains.
