The WGSRPD places the flora of the rest of Asia into Category:Flora of temperate Asia (Asia-Temperate). Native taxa of the lowest rank are included if they occur widely in the botanical continent, otherwise they should be included in the flora of one or more of the constituent regions. Higher taxa are included only if endemic.
Flora of Eastern Asia (6 C, 147 P) I. Flora of the Indian subcontinent (12 C, 385 P) Flora of Indo-China (10 C, 691 P) Indomalayan realm flora (24 C, 134 P)
Note: The continent of Asia is not a geographical unit employed in the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. The following categories should be used instead where the information is available: Category:Flora of temperate Asia; Category:Flora of tropical Asia
This category is the top level for the flora of the nine botanical continents defined in the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions (WGSRPD). A non-WGSRPD "supercontinent" is currently also used for categorizing plant distributions: Category:Flora of Asia combines the categories Category:Flora of temperate Asia and Category ...
Malesia was first identified as a floristic region that included the Malay Peninsula, the Malay Archipelago, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago, [1] based on a shared tropical flora derived mostly from Asia but also with numerous elements of the Antarctic flora, including many species in the southern conifer families Podocarpaceae and Araucariaceae.
Tropical pitcher plants are also characteristic of Indomalaya, and the greatest diversity of species is in Sumatra, Borneo, and the Philippines. The tropical forests of Indomalaya and Australasia share many lineages of plants, which have managed over millions of years to disperse across the straits and islands between Sundaland and New Guinea.
The flora consists of many unique varieties of tropical plants. Blessed with a tropical climate and roughly 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the nation with the second highest biodiversity in the world. The flora of Indonesia reflects an intermingling of Asian, Australian and unique, Indonesian lineages. This is due to the geography of Indonesia ...
Extent of the Paleotropical kingdom Gallery forest in Guinea Savanna in Burkina Faso Acacia erioloba in the Namib Desert Pandanus utilis Nepenthes villosa. The Paleotropical kingdom (Paleotropis) is a floristic kingdom composed of the tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Oceania (excluding Australia and New Zealand), as proposed by Ronald Good and Armen Takhtajan.
