Flora
The
exact extent of this diversity is as yet unknown. As a result
of continual botanical surveys the number of known plant
species is still increasing. As with the fauna of the Top
End, the flora is dependent on the area's geology.
The
flora associated with the sandstone escarpments is particularly
diverse, with many species endemic to their respective areas.
However, the greater part of theTop End is savannah, dominated
by open eucalypt forests and grassy understoreys. The coastal
areas and tidal estuaries are home to a rich and diverse
community of mangroves.
As
we move inland along the water courses we find enormous
floodplain areas ringed by Melaleuca or paperbark trees.
Then, as we approach the escarpment country, we find stands
of ancient monsoonal rainforest - home to huge Allosyncarpia
trees.
A
botanist could spend a lifetime here and barely scratch
the surface. Aboriginal Australians have lived here in excess
of 40,000 years and survived on the abundant "bush tucker"
and the amazing healing qualities of local bush medicine.
