Cape Floral Kingdom Map

Smallest floral kingdom by size

HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF PLANT SPECIES

ONLY FLORAL KINGDOM CONTAINED WITHIN A SINGLE COUNTRY

UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE

  • The single greatest threat is posed by invasive alien plant (IAP) infestation
  • IAPs are proliferating faster than authorities can remove or manage them
