Australian Rare and Threatened Species
Formerly known as the Victorian Rare and Threatened Collection, the Australian Rare and Threatened Species Collection is situated in the island beds in the Central Lawn and scattered throughout the suitable microclimates of the wider Gardens. Collecting trips and collaborations with similar organisations continue to add to this ever growing category. This Collection is vitally important to conserve Australia’s incredible native flora, especially as climate change brings more species under threat, and offers visitors a glimpse of what we stand to lose.
Other areas to view Rare and Threatened plants are the Eucalyptus robusta bed and Xanthorrhoea bed on the Eastern lawn, Conifer border, Australian Forest Walk, Fern Gully and Herbarium bed.
