This category contains articles related to the flora of Australia. It includes flora taxa that are native to, or naturalised in, Australia. Taxa that are introduced but not naturalised are excluded. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included. Higher taxa are included only if endemic.
For the purposes of this category, "Australia" is defined in accordance with the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. That is, Australia is as politically defined except for the following exceptions:
- the Australian Antarctic Territory is not included in Australia; it is treated as part of the Antarctic continent;
- Heard and McDonald Islands, politically a territory of Australia, is treated with the other subantarctic islands;
- Macquarie Island, politically an island of Tasmania, is treated with the other subantarctic islands;
- Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands, both territories of Australia, are treated as part of Malesia.
