A valley heavily cultivated predominantly for table grapes. The kloofs that run up the mountains on either side of the valley are known for their phenomenal diversity and underexplored habitat. Many new species have recently been found in this area. Remaining land desperately needs to be offset for conservation in this area.

Short etymology:
For Reverend Richard Relhan (1754–1823), Irish botanist, bryologist, lichenologist and plant collector. He was born in Dublin, educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he obtained an MA degree (1779), and became chaplin of Kings College, Cambridge. While there, he studied and collected plants in the neighbourhood, publishing a book Flora Cantabrigiensis (1785). He became a Fellow of the Royal Society (1787) and one of the founders of the Linnaean Society (1787). Later, he became rector in Lincolnshire and devoted himself to a scholarly study of the works of Tacitus.
