The vast majority of plants on this page are forbs. A forb is generally
herbaceaous whereas a shrub is woody; but the boundary is somewhat arbitrary. We've treated Hibbertia and even Pultanea as shrubs, but Acaena and Rumex spp. as flowering plants.
From 2008-2020, we included on this page a few ferns and a fungus. They were removed to their own Cryptogams page in late 2020.
At about 170 species, the page is still badly over-loaded, but even if we shifted out categories such as the lilies (5) and orchids (8), it wouldn't make a lot of difference.
The botanists continually breed confusion by changing names of genera and
species. We've adopted a pragmatic approach, using whichever name we find to
be commonly understood. We're gradually building in alternatives, identifying
them as aka (also known as), pka (previously known as) and nka (now
known as).
