  Southern Africa's floral wealth with its astonishing diversity of species - already more than 18,500 species have been discovered here - has intrigued botanists and delighted nature lovers for more than three centuries. This wealth of flowering plants is found in a variety of vegetation types falling in seven distinct natural areas, or biomes - from the desert wastes of the Namib to the evergreen forest biome of the southern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, all of which are shown in photographs.
