Abstract

The Cape Floristic Region is one of the world's six floral kindoms, yet its phenomenal floral diversity is under extreme threat and more than 17 species have gone extinct in the past few decades. 72% of South Africa's threatened plants are found in this area. This resource contains 965 rare and threatened species.
