The Lane Cove National Park is only 10km north-west of Sydney and covers 600ha. It was Gazetted as a National Park in 1938.

Although its waterways and the edges of the park are being encroached by weeds, it remains an incredible source of wildflowers - many of which are unique to the Sydney Basin.

There's an estimated 550 native flora species recorded in the Park. Our website has a third of those.

The National Parks and Wildlife website provides details of the Park.

We are indebted to -

• Les Robinson's Field Guide To the Native Plants of Sydney (Kangaroo Press, 2003), and
• Royal Botanic Gardens' PlantNET website.

These reference sources have greatly assisted in identifying the Park's wildflowers.

Our wildflowers webpages contain over 200 species. The species have been divided into 5 webpages based on botanical families, plus a webpage dedicated to introduced plants (weeds).
