Abstract
South Africa is a country with both rich floral biodiversity and cultural diversity. Traditional herbal medicines form an important part of the healthcare of most South Africans, and relies heavily on the use of indigenous plants. This article briefly describes the role South Africa has played in recent years, in contributing to the worldwide increase in research in the field of ethnopharmacology.
