African native plant

African native plants are species that naturally grow and have evolved in the African continent over thousands of years. They are well-adapted to local climates, soils, and ecosystems, playing vital roles in supporting local wildlife and maintaining ecological balance. Examples include rooibos tea plants, baobab trees, and acacia shrubs. These plants often have cultural, medicinal, or economic significance for African communities. Preserving native plants helps protect biodiversity, sustain traditional practices, and ensure resilient ecosystems in Africa.
