Project Description

The information in the Flora of Australia Online website was first published in the Flora of Australia series, produced by the Australian Biological Resources Study and co-published with CSIRO Publishing (previously with the Australian Government Publishing Service).

The Flora of Australia aims to provide a uniform description of the plants of Australia, with identification keys, illustrations of most genera and many species and distribution maps of all taxa.

There are three separate sets of data for the Flora of Australia and each is accessed by a separate search interface. These are:
Flora of Australia Online
Flora of Australia Online: Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands
Flora of Australia Online: Oceanic Islands excluding Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands

Flora of Australia Online data covers the six Australian States, the Northern Territory, the Australian Capital Territory and immediate offshore islands. The data, when complete, will derive from Flora of Australia Volumes 2 to 48 and 51 onwards.

Flora of Australia Online (Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands) covers associated islets of the Admiralty Group, Balls Pyramid, Blackburn (Rabbit) Island, Lord Howe Island, Mutton Bird Island, Nepean Island, Norfolk Island and Philip Island. The information was originally published in Flora of Australia Volume 49.

Flora of Australia Online (Oceanic Islands excluding Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands) above covers Ashmore Reef, Cartier Island, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Coral Sea Islands Territory, Heard Island, Macquarie Island and McDonald Island. The information was originally published in Flora of Australia Volume 50
