Hmmmm... Dissapointing to be left out of Australia once more. Tasmania,
although possessing a high level of endemism, is a part of Australia. Bass
strait has been dry land more often than not in the last couple of million
years. So we're in fact a part of Australia, with many common species:

D. peltata
D. arcturi
D. spatulata
D. pygmaea
D. binata
D. macrantha,

U. dichotoma
U. lateriflora
U. monanthos
U. australis
