Bruniaceae
Bruniaceae is a family of shrubs native to the cape region of South Africa. They are mostly restricted to the Cape Province, but a small number of species occur in KwaZulu-Natal. Description Species belonging to the Bruniaceae are heath-like shrubs. They have small, hard, scaly leaves that are alternate but regularly set and overlapping. A distinct character is the minute black tip of the leaves when these are young. The inflorescence is a dense spike or spherical flowerhead with up to 400 flowers at the end of the stems. Individual flowers are tube-shaped and hermaphrodite, there are five sepals which may be free or connected at their rim, while the ovary sits under the other parts of the flower. The fruit is dry when ripe, opens with two or four valves and contains fleshy seeds. Taxonomy In the APG II taxonomy they are placed in the order Lamiales, but a 2008 study suggested that they are sister to the Columelliaceae, and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website The Angiosperm Phy ...

Brunia (plant)
''Brunia'' is a genus of shrubs of the family Bruniaceae, native to the cape region of South Africa. Taxonomy The genus was described by Carl Linnaeus and published in ''Species Plantarum'' 1: 199 in the year 1753. The type species is ''Brunia paleacea'' P.J.Bergius, Descriptiones Plantarum ex Capite Bonae Spei, 56. (1767) The name ''Brunia'' is thought to have been derived from the apothecary, Dr Cornelis Brun, who travelled in Russia and the Levant, although it could also be in commemoration of Dr Alexander Brown, a ship's surgeon and a collector who worked in the East Indies around 1690.Umberto Quattrocchi Species As accepted by Plants of the World Online; *'' Brunia africana'' *'' Brunia angulata'' *'' Brunia barnardii'' *'' Brunia bullata'' *'' Brunia callunoides'' *'' Brunia compacta'' *'' Brunia cordata'' *'' Brunia dregeana'' *'' Brunia esterhuyseniae'' *'' Brunia fragarioides'' *'' Brunia laevis'' *'' Brunia latebracteata'' *'' Brunia macrocephala'' *'' B ...

Berzelia Lanuginosa
''Berzelia'' is a genus consisting of 12 species of upright, wiry-stemmed, evergreen shrubs from Cape Provinces in South Africa. The genus was first published and described in Ann. Sci. Nat. (Paris) vol.8 on page 370 in 1826. Description They have a dense covering of small, fine, needle-like leaves. The flowers which appear in spring and summer, are minute but are packed in spherical clusters, of which there are several per head of bloom. The flowers are white to cream and, because the stamens extend beyond the tiny petals, the flower heads appear to be studded with protrusions. In cultivation, they are best grown in light well-drained soil with adequate moisture, positioning in full sun. Light trimming will retain the compact form after flowering. Most species are easily propagated from seed or small half-hardened tip cuttings.

Columelliaceae is a family of trees and shrubs native to the Andes of South America. In the APG II taxonomy it is placed in the order Lamiales, but a 2008 study suggested that the family is sister to the Bruniaceae, and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website proposes incorporating this finding by placing both families in order Bruniales.

Flora Of The Cape Provinces
Flora (: floras or florae) is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring ( indigenous) native plants. The corresponding term for animals is ''fauna'', and for fungi, it is ''funga''. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora as in the terms ''gut flora'' or ''skin flora'' for purposes of specificity. Etymology The word "flora" comes from the Latin name of Flora, the goddess of plants, flowers, and fertility in Roman mythology. The technical term "flora" is then derived from a metonymy of this goddess at the end of the sixteenth century. It was first used in poetry to denote the natural vegetation of an area, but soon also assumed the meaning of a work cataloguing such vegetation. Moreover, "Flora" was used to refer to the flowers of an artificial garden in the seventeenth century. The distinction between vegetation (the general appearance of a community) and flora (the taxonomic composition of a community) was ...
