Abstract
Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest mountain with 5895 meters above sea level and an assemblage and symbol for the continents ecosystem variety. From the lower hot and dry savanna, over the intensively managed home gardens  belt at around 1500m, throughout the rain and cloud forest between 2000 – 3000m, up to the alpine Helichrysum heath lands, the mountain harbours a tremendous diversity of plant species. Consideration of plant diversity is at, population, and community levels and their relationship. A full species list of 1500 vegetation surveys (over 2400 species in total) over the whole mountain range has been established, as well as the altitudinal ranges of species, their live forms and information about rarity, endemism and invasiveness.
