Abstract

This paper shows how the bed of Lake Chilwa in Malawi was colonised by plants during a recent dry period. Aeschynomene pfundii and Diplachne fusca were the principal colonising species on the alkaline mud flats. The subsequent changes in the vegetation after the lake refilled are described.
