This category contains the native flora of South Africa. The World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD) does not recognize South Africa as a whole, instead dividing it into four regions:
Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic. Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries). Use regional categories when taxa have a larger distribution that is approximately coincides with that taxon's distribution (e.g. Category:Flora of Southern Africa) instead of each subordinate category of that region.
