An east-west range of mountains in the Agulhas / Overberg region between the towns of Elim and Napier/Bredasdorp. Much of hte land is held within a conservancy, but is threatened by alien infestations of both pine, Leptospermum laevigatum and wattle. A botanical survey was done by Ross Turner in 2007 which he rediscovered Erica recurvata, only known from a plate published in Andrew's Heathery in 1845.
