North Queensland Plants

Welcome to these pictures of Australian plants.The site  concentrates on mistletoes of the Loranthaceae and Santalaceae/Viscaceae families with pictures from all over Australia. All the pictures are subject to the image use policy below. If the genus or species is not referenced, no photos are currently published. All the photos are of plants in the wild and untouched photos are used wherever  possible.

Enter mistletoe site: Australian Parasitic Plants

Each species page has pictures and species information. For further information  please email  jilln@ozemail.com.  High resolution photos are available on request. The datum for the GPS is WGS84. The site is always being updated and new species are added as they are identified. While the site concentrates on North Queensland plants and mistletoes, other interesting  Australian plants from specific locations are being added, including identified mistletoe hosts. Beautiful photographs should be shared and there are few reliable web resources available on many of these plants so the site will be gradually expanded to include a lot more Australian plants.

The Directory structure of the site  is currently being reorganised,with the increasing numbers of plants being displayed so the Google links may be unstable. All links on the family list are accurate.For the total  list of families represented, follow this link.

Our other  specific interests include:

We are based in Cairns, North  Queensland and spend a lot of time in the bush identifying and photographing plants  in their natural habitat. In North Queensland, there are several regions with endemic flora we visit regularly. A full list of the North Queensland plants featured is linked below.
