Excerpt from The Naturalised Flora of South Australia This is a descriptive and illustrated handbook of the alien plants naturalised in South Australia and propagating themselves spontaneously. Such plants form the greater part of our herbage near towns, and many of them have found their way into the far interior. The list also includes several ornamental plants which have gone astray from gardens or hedges, and all the "noxious weeds" which have been proclaimed as such by the Government. The subject is therefore of some importance, and it is hoped that this little book may be useful and interesting, not only to students of nature, but to country residents who may desire some botanical knowledge about the introduced plants which grow in their fields. No work of this kind has hitherto appeared in South Australia, or, as far as I know, in any part of Australia. The late Professor Tate, in his "Flora of Extra-tropical South Australia" (1890), dealt with only our native plants. Of the 368 plants here described, the countries of origin are as follow: - Europe generally (usually including Western Asia), 128; Mediterranean region (European and frequently North African Coasts), 92; most parts of the globe (cosmopolitan), 60; South Africa, 44; temperate South America, 15; Asia, 10; temperate North America, 6; Eastern Australia, 6; Western Australia, 1; Mexico, 3; Abyssinia, 1; Canary Islands, 2. It is noticeable that the plants which succeed best in the struggle for life are those which come from lands with climates resembling our own, such as the Mediterranean region, South Africa and temperate South America.
