Choritaenia capensis, a perennial herb endemic to central southern Africa, is found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and the edges of forests. It is often encountered in disturbed areas such as roadsides, flood plains, and dry dams. This species typically flowers in spring and early summer, showcasing its unique morphological features that distinguish it from other members of the Apiaceae family.

Choritaenia capensis is not commonly cultivated but may be of interest to collectors of African flora or those seeking to create a naturalized garden with indigenous plants. It requires well-drained soil and can tolerate a range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade. While not widely known for ornamental use, its adaptation to disturbed sites suggests a potential for resilience in a garden setting. As with many Apiaceae, it may have ethnobotanical uses, although specific applications are not well-documented. Care should be taken to manage its spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
