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).
Savanna Plant Life. Plants of the savannas are highly specialized to grow in this environment of long periods of drought. They have long tap roots that can reach the deep water table, thick bark to resist annual fires, trunks that can store water, and leaves that drop of during the winter to conserve water.he senegal gum acacia is a small to average sized thorn tree of the African grassland savanna. It can grow up to 20 meters tall. The leaves are a grey-green color. The flowers are yellow or cream colored and grow on spikes just above the thorns. These flowers turn into seed pods about 8 inches long and 2-3 inches wide.
