South Africa's Greater Cape Floristic Region has intrigued biologists for centuries. It has achieved iconic status as a locus of megadiversity - a place to study the ecological underpinnings of massive evolutionary radiations in fynbos and associated vegetation types. Advances over the past two decades in unravelling the complexities of GCFR ecology and evolution are presented. The region has yielded significant contributions on adaptive radiations of large lineages, conservation science, pollination biology, invasive plant biology, and palaeoanthropology

This volume consists of a selection of papers presented at a workshop on the rural land question hosted by the Institute for a Democratic Alternative for South Africa (IDASA) in the Western Cape in March 1990. The papers are dealing with social and political aspects of land (systems of ownership and tenure), legal and constitutional as well as economic aspects of land (i.e. agricultural production).
