Category:Flora of South Africa

WGSRPD regions of South Africa

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:

• CPP – Cape Provinces: Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and Western Cape; see Category:Flora of the Cape Provinces
• NAT – KwaZulu-Natal; see Category:Flora of KwaZulu-Natal
• OFS – Free State; see Category:Flora of the Free State
• TVL – Northern Provinces: Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Northern Province (Limpopo) and North-West Province; see Category:Flora of the Northern Provinces

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.
