What does provenance mean?

Answer 1

The history of ownership. The trail of posession.

Provenance[prov-in-anss] n place of origin. Plants that are naturally local to my area. Native means from the country, it does not mean from your part of the country. Endemic means this plant species grows in your area, it does not mean a particular plant is from your area, It may be the same species from your area but it might have a different genetic makeup to the plants in your area. Provenant means from your area, It has grown from the seed of a plant that evolved all its traits in your area, and is thus of local provenance. Everything in the Bush Regeneration industry relates to encouraging the growth of provenant plants. Native should never be used to describe the word endemic and endemic should never be used to describe the word provenant. For Clarity purposes a provenant plant should in scientific circumstances be referred to as a provenant endemic native plant, because a plant titled only as endemic native reveals no evidence of being of actual local origin.
