New Zealand's flora derives mainly from that of the Gondwanaland continental assembly, with other contributions from mid-Pacific.
The trees are all evergreen, gymnosperms and angiosperms both, (with two irregular exceptions). The natural forest consists of upper story tall trees, an understory of shrubs and smaller trees, and a generous distribution of ferns, mosses, and fungi.
The grasslands have a fairly wide diversity of grasses and herb fields. Most NZ flowers are fairly plain, again with a few exceptions.
Of course, there are several species found nowhere else in the world. Notable among these are a number of species with a strongly divaricating habit.
