Restionaceae is a family of flowering plants primarily found in southern Africa, particularly in the Cape Floristic Region. This family consists of about 70 species, which are mostly grass-like and adapted to various habitats, including wetlands and sandy soils. Members of the Restionaceae family are characterized by their slender, rush-like stems and small, scale-like leaves. They play a crucial role in their ecosystems by providing habitat and stabilizing soil, and many species are also used in traditional crafts and landscaping due to their unique appearance.
