Census of Plants of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT)
Version 4.1 (30 August 2019)
Appendix 2: Vascular plants excluded from the ACT flora
Specimens are held at CANB for the following taxa that have been collected within the ACT. These taxa are excluded from the Census of the Flora of the Australian Capital Territory on the basis of at least one of the following reasons:
- plants are adventive within a highly managed environment (e.g. presumed to have self-sown in a garden
- an adventive occurrence is limited to a single plant, frequently eliminated in order to prepare a herbarium specimen
- an adventive occurrence is of uncertain origin, and may represent cultivated plants only
- there is uncertainty as to the taxonomic identity of the specimen(s) concerned
* indicates a taxon not indigenous to Australia or the ACT
# indicates a native Australian taxon not indigenous to the ACT
