Each species page has pictures and species information. For further information please email jilln@ozemail.com.au 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. Most of the plants featured are small flowering plants or shrubs.Our other specific interests include:

Australian desert plants (specifically Eremophila and Ptilotus sp)

Australian alpine plants

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. All North Queensland plants featured are from the botanical districts of Burke QBU, Kennedy North QKN and Cook QCO.

All plants have been identified using references from the reference list. Plant names are consistent with the Australian Plant Name Index (APNI).Where possible any name updates are referenced accordingly. Latest site update 29th May 2013. A search facility has been added to the reference page.
