Australian Flora Protea 360ml Coffee Mug New Bone China
Despite appearances, Proteas are not Australian native plants – but they could have been and there in lies a fascinating story stretching back billions of years, to a time when Australia was part of a super continent we call Gondwana. Australian members include Waratah, Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea and Macadamia. Across the ocean in what’s now South America are found other members of the protea family (also called Proteaceae). It’s hypothesised that all these different plants arose from a common protea-like ancestor.
