This category contains flora that are native to, or naturalised in, Australia as defined politically. It thus differs from the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions , in which, for example, the Australian Antarctic Territory is not included in Australia but is treated as part of the Antarctic continent.
It includes taxa that are native to Australia. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included. Higher taxa are included only if endemic. For the flora of Australia defined politically, see Category:Flora of Australia by state or territory. In the WGSRPD, Australia is as politically defined except for the following exceptions:
The natural history of Australia has been shaped by the geological evolution of the Australian continent from Gondwana and the changes in global climate over geological time. The building of the Australian continent and its association with other land masses, as well as climate changes over geological time, have created the unique flora and ...
