Ecologically, Zieglerii plants often contribute to their native habitats by improving soil fertility through nitrogen fixation,
While not widely cultivated, some species of Zieglerii are used locally in traditional medicine or as forage
Due to their limited geographical distribution and specialized habitats, Zieglerii species are considered of interest to
