Abstract
South Africa's uniquely rich floral diversity offers a large number of potentially useful and marketable products that have not been fully explored. Scientists in the Department of Botany at Rand Afrikaans University are particularly concerned to identify plants that have medicinal properties. The objective is to set the stage for their commercial exploitation and at the same time to husband them as a renewable resource.
