Interesting facts about South Africa - South African Plant Life:
Cape Floral Kingdom - Economic uses:
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) and Honey-bush (Cyclopia intermedia) are of economic
importance, grown and harvested in large quantities in the Cederberg area, and
making up an important export. Proteas and other floral species are grown in many
areas and their flowers harvested for export. Restios continue to be used for
thatching as they have for hundreds or even thousands of years.
In many areas with Mediterranean climates, fynbos species are popular garden plants,
in particular aloes and geraniums, and in cooler regions are used as window plants.
Fynbos areas are a popular attraction for tourists visiting South Africa,
especially in the vicinity of Cape Town, and are also important recreational areas
for locals.
