Jena,

As David mentioned, there is some plot data on plants in South Africa and
California in the KNB.  Each data set is contributed individually there, so
they can be hard to find, but some do exist there.
http://knb.ecoinformatics.org

A more integrated set of plant plot data can be found in the VegBank data
archive, which exposes both plant taxonomy and plot composition data for
over 20000 plant plots.  See http://vegbank.org to search for plots and
download the data.  I suspect you will mostly find plot data for California
-- I don't know of any plot data for South Africa in there as of yet.
