What we do. This unit is engaged in mapping South Africa's vegetation. South Africa's immensely rich flora is also reflected in a wide range of vegetation types. These vegetation types have been identified and mapped, with 440 types described (for South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland, and the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands).
The bulk of the vegetation consists of grasses and shrubs. In regards to trees, the most prevalent ones are acacia trees like the camelthorn tree. This tree grows almost exclusively in the Kalahari Desert and it is a symbol of the desert. Some cactus species like the Hoodia cactus is also present. Closer to the Okavango Delta there can be found baobabs as well.
