Psidium guajava
The South African portion of this region is under threat of change due to increasing population and the introduction of foreign plant species such as the shrub "Chromolaena odorata", Australian acacias, guava ("Psidium guajava"), pines and eucalyptus. In Mozambique this coast is not so heavily populated but the area is affected by forestry and other projects including the Pongolapoort Dam and irrigation schemes.
