Description:
The Cape flora, also capensis (capensis), is the smallest of the six continental floral kingdoms on earth. It includes the winter rain region at the southern tip of Africa (South Africa) and is separated from the rest of Africa by a desert belt (of Karoo and Namib). It is the smallest of the floral kingdoms, but in relation to the area the Cape region is the most species-rich. It attracts numerous botanists and plant lovers from all over the world every year. The extraordinary wealth of endemics in the Cape flora is particularly noteworthy, which means that there are many species of a genus or family that can only be found in this limited area worldwide. In addition, similarities with the floral kingdoms of Antarctica and Australis can be seen. These areas, now widely separated, were part of the Gondwana continent until the end of the jura .
