Structural complexity was unaffected by planting size but was positively correlated with floristic richness.
2
It forms part of a World Heritage Site and is the single richest floristic area in the world.
3
Non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis did not group the forests by their floristic composition in both upper and middle strata.
4
Although terrestrial diatoms are discussed extensively in the literature, most of those studies covered floristic aspects and few information exists on their ecology.
5
Floristic similarity was high between strata and between forest types, with values above 50%.
6
Some three-quarters, or 1700 species, of all plants on the South African Red List of threatened species occur in the Cape Floristic Region.

The area covers Covering 78,555 km², Cape Floristic Region hotspot is located entirely within the borders of South Africa.
