Restio is the name of a group of plants within the Restionaceae described as a genus in 1772.[5][3]
The entire genus is endemic to South Africa (Cape Province and KwaZulu-Natal).[4]
Many species formerly included within the Restio genus are now classified into a number of other genera including Acion, Baloskion and Eurychorda.
In common with a number of other genera in the Restionaceae, Restios are widely cultivated for use a garden ornamentals for their attractive nodular foliage and mild frost hardiness.
