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 internet, but to provided general information with images of
plants that 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.
