Endemic plants are very localised plants species that are only found in a specific area. For example, Eucalyptus baueriana subsp. thalassina, commonly known as Werribee blue box, is a subspecies of Victorian blue box. The Werribee blue box is endemic to Werribee. Indigenous and endemic plant species have evolved and adapted to the conditions within your local environment such as the soil and climate. Your local plant species have evolved side by side with the native wildlife, so by planting a variety of indigenous and endemic plants over native plants creates a variety of food and more diversity in your urban landscape for our native wildlife.
