For the amateur naturalist, the classification of the plant kingdom can be very confusing, with at least four classification systems in common use. In its most basic form, the taxonomic tree is divided into the cellular plants (mosses, liverworts, hornworts, etc), and into the vascular plants. The vascular plants are further divided into spore producing plants and seed producing plants.
Our aim here is not to reproduce the myriad of information that is available in print and on the web, but to provided general information with images of plants that we like and can be found here in Australia.
All information provided is for your enjoyment only and may not be accurate enough for scientific or academic purposes. Although we try to ensure that information provided is correct, if you do find any error, please let us know.
As we add more images and information about Australian flora, we hope you enjoy our flora collection, images from our personal collections, contributors and other sources, offering an insight into what is Australia… enjoy…
