Namibia Plants

 
Namibia plants are as varied and diverse as its landscapes, with a number of different plant species to be found across its various habitats. As the country has such a large percentage of deserts, succulents are abundant in Namibia – these plants are able to store water in their leaves, making them excellent for survival in the harsh desert. Trees found within this area include camelthorn, ringwood, wild ebony and perhaps the most famous of all of Namibia's plant life, the Welwitschia mirabilis.

Vegetation in Namibia


Vegetation in Namibia comprises of coastal and wetland vegetation, desert vegetation, grass and shrub, woodlands and a small percentage of natural forest. All together, these vegetation regions contain 4,000 seed bearing vascular plants, 120 different species of tree, over 200 endemic plant species and 100 varieties of lichen.
