The flora in this area is characterized by figs ( Ficus ), umbrella acacias ( Albizia ), hackberry trees ( Celtis ), Ceiba , Pterocarpus and the Newtonias, which belong to the mimosa family .

Etymology and history of research

The term »Camaroptera« is derived from the Greek words »kamára καμάρα « for »bow« and »pteron τὸ πτερόν « for »wing«.

The specific epithet was given in honor of Ernst Johann Otto Hartert , the man who made it available from the Natural History Museum at Tring . Zedlitz first described the bird as a new subspecies under the name Camaroptera griseoviridis harterti . Johann Wilhelm von Müller reported in 1851 about the new species Orthotomus griseoviridis , which was later added to the genus Camaroptera Sundevall in 1850. In English it was called Green-gray Bush Warbler at the time . Philipp Jakob Cretzschmar had already described Sylvia brevicaudata (syn: for Camaroptera brevicaudata ) in 1830 and C. griseoviridis was finally considered a subspecies of C. brevicaudata . Since the species Camaroptera griseoviridis no longer existed, a subspecies was also categorized with the name C. brevicaudata harterti . Finally, in 1987, the Hartert bow wing was given the status of its own species in the checklist of birds of the world . The Commission internationale pour les noms français des oiseaux also found in 1993, with the common French name Camaroptère de Hartert , that this was a species of its own acts. BirdLife International and IUCN follow Robert J. Dowsett and AD Forbes-Watson and their Checklist of Birds of the Afrotropical and Malagasy Regions from 1993. Here C. brevicaudata , C. harterti and C. brachyura are all named C. brachyura summarized.
