Restio is a genus of flowering plants within the family Restionaceae, described in 1772.[5][3] The entire genus is endemic to the Cape Provinces and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.[4]
In common with a number of other genera in the Restionaceae, restios are widely cultivated for use as garden ornamentals for their attractive nodular foliage. They are mildly frost hardy.
