The Overberg Renosterveld is rich in many species. My own speciality is the study of the plant family Fabaceae (commonly called Legumes). Here is a selection of the richness of the species of legumes found in renosterveld remnants. Many of them are very rare and only restricted to this region. Those species referred to as sp. nov. (species novum) are currently being written up for formal description and publication.
