List of Australian plants termed "native"

This is a list of Australian plants which have had a common name prefixed with the adjective "native". Early European settlers in Australia were confronted with a large variety of unaccustomed animals and plants, and in many cases gave them familiar names qualified with the adjective "native", based on some fancied resemblance, so what is now a koala was called a "native bear" and the dingo a "native dog".
