Its four main components are heaths, the Proteaceae, reedlike Restionaceae and geophytes (bulb-plants) including many Iridaceae.

The area is a stronghold for Australian members of the Proteaceae, with 13 genera and 40 species locally endemic, including Placospermum coriaceum, one of the most primitive members of this family.

The proteoids are the tallest fynbos shrubs from 2 m to 4 m in height, and comprise showy members of the Proteaceae, another Gondwanan family.

Agricultural development is encroaching on natural areas even in the mountains, where impoverished soils previously limited agriculture; farming of rooibos tea, (Aspalathus linearis), honeybush tea (Cyclopia spp.), cut flowers (mainly Proteaceae), and, of course, vineyards pose a significant threat to the remaining vegetation.

Root disease is now spreading to other habitats, including kwongan shrublands, and in particular Stirling Range National Park, where it has caused mortality among susceptible plants like the peculiar grass trees (Xanthorrhoea spp.) and members of the Proteaceae, especially the banksias (Banksia spp.).

The proteoids belong to another Gondwanan family, the Proteaceae, and are known for their showy blooms and their height.

The ten largest families in the hotspot (including the Myrtaceae with 785 species, of which 92 percent are endemic, and Proteaceae with 684 species, with 96 percent endemism) comprise 61 percent of the flora.
