Australian Natives



Australian plants, often referred to as natives, are those which have originated and evolved on this continent. Australia's geographic isolation has meant that many of our plants are very different from those growing in other parts of the world.

Most Australian plants are found nowhere else in the world; however, some closely related plants are found on the continents which made up Gondwana, such as Africa and South America.
