Plant list - Rainforest Plants

Tasmania has extensive areas of rainforest, from the wild Tarkine area in the NW through to the wet forests of the Tasman Peninsula. The plants listed here are from these habitats. Some are very well known and grow over much of the state, such as the Tasmanian Waratah and Pepperberry, while others grow in only limited areas and are rare.

All of these plants prefer moist conditions and protection from full sun. Many of them will grow happily in darker nooks and crannies around the garden.
