The main type of fynbos (" fine bush ") vegetation at the Cape of Good Hope is Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos, an endangered vegetation type that is endemic to the Cape Peninsula.

The main vegetation type is endangered Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos, but critically endangered Peninsula Granite Fynbos, Peninsula Shale Renosterveld and Afromontane forest occur in smaller portions on the mountain.

Fynbos (; ) is the natural shrubland or heathland vegetation occurring in a small belt of the Western Cape of South Africa, mainly in winter rainfall coastal and mountainous areas with a Mediterranean climate.

The Montane Fynbos and Renosterveld is the area above 300 m, a total of 45, 000 km2 of the Cape Fold Mountains.

The Cape Sugarbird is found in Fynbos and has also moved into gardens and nurseries.

Their presence as the dominant group in the Western Cape led to this plant community being referred to as the Fynbos ( Afrikaans, ' fine bush ') community A few species have spread into southeast Asia, and there is a single South American species.

The predominant vegetation is Mediterranean Fynbos in the wetter south and west, changing to semi desert scrub in the north and east.

The Orange-breasted Sunbird ( Nectarinia violacea ) is exclusively found in Fynbos vegetation.

The vegetation on psamments varies enormously owing to the variety of climates, but in many cases is remarkably well-adapted to the climate, as with the Fynbos of the Cape region in South Africa-famous for its remarkable biodiversity and the equally species-rich Kwongan of southwestern Western Australia.

Lions Head is covered in Fynbos ( indigenous Cape vegetation with an unusually rich biodiversity ) and supports a variety of small animals.

Most of Lions Head is covered in endangered Granite Fynbos, which fades into Peninsula Shale Renosterveld ( critically endangered ) on the lower slopes towards Signal Hill in the north.

Right on the summit of Lions Head however, is a tiny patch of endangered Sandstone Fynbos, a different ecosystem that is also found nearby on the top of Table Mountain.

The specific vegetation type of the mountain is Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos, an endangered vegetation type that is endemic to the city of Cape Town-occurring nowhere else in the world.

Coastal Hangklip Sand Fynbos grows on low-lying alkaline sands and, right by the sea, small patches of Cape Flats Dune Strandveld can be found.

Its vegetation consists predominantly of several different types of the unique and rich Cape Fynbos.

Fynbos – which grows in a 100-to-200-km-wide coastal belt stretching from Clanwilliam on the West coast to Port Elizabeth on the Southeast coast – forms part of the Cape floral kingdom, where it accounts for half of the surface area and 80 % of the plant varieties.

Thus, although the Fynbos comprises only 6 % of the area of southern Africa, it has half the species on the subcontinent – and in fact has almost 1 in 5 of all plant species in Africa.

Around 30 % of plants in the Fynbos produce seeds with an elaiosome which attract ants that carry the seeds into their burrows.

The Lowland Fynbos and Renosterveld experiences regular winter rainfall, especially to the west of Cape Agulhas.

Fynbos areas are also threatened by the spread of alien species, in particular wattle and acacia species from Australia, as well as pine plantations in the Cape Fold hills.

Fynbos areas are a popular attraction for tourists, especially in the vicinity of Cape Town, and are also important recreational areas for locals.

The northern slopes overlooking the city centre are covered in typical Cape Peninsula Shale Fynbos.

The vegetation at Cape Point consists primarily of Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos.

The bontebok has two subspecies ; the endangered bontebok ( Damaliscus pygargus pygarus ), occurring naturally in the Fynbos and Renosterveld areas of the Western Cape, and the blesbok ( Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi ) occurring in the highveld.

Blesbok live in highveld, where they eat short grasses, while bontebok are restricted to coastal Fynbos and Renosterveld.
