Driving through the flora
November 24th, 2008 . by adminSouth Africa is known for it megadiverse plant life. It has over 20,000 known species and is a treasure to anyone that enjoys botony. We decided to go with the car rental route and see how much of the diversity we could find. As we drove from the drier climates of the nothwest we could not help but notice how the succulents stood about among the usual native grasses. As we drove further to the humid costal plains by the Indian Ocean we admired all the flowering plants the were so abudant. We also, could not help from notice how few trees there were.
