Angiosperms
(as trees & shrubs)
Magnolids
‘Mint-Trees’, which are endemic to this continent (see the section on Marsupials, above). They comprise the full membership of the family Menthodendriaceae, which is in the order 'Laurales'.
Monocots
Bamboo, especially in the 'scrub belt' near the upper levels of the mountains' eastern side.
Coconut Palm (probably introduced deliberately into another nation, and then spread under its own power from there...)
Eudicots
Fig Trees of various species, as an important component in the flora of the tropical forests.
for the 'seasonal' forests & wooded savanna inland_ Corkbark trees (a different family to Oaks, Brachydendriaceae, but same Order [Fagales]).
Blackwood (or Black Oak, actually a different genus to Oaks, Nigroquercus,but same Family [Fagaceae]; Ebony-like timber... NOT in large clumps).
(under work)
(as non-woody plants)
Monocots
various Grasses, of course
Eudicots
Giant Heather
Giant Stinging Nettles

'Sea-grasses' aren’t really grasses, they’re another branch of the flowering plants (in this case relying on water to carry their pollen, and thus having only simple flowers) instead: They provide food for herbivorous molluscs and fish, sea turtles, and the IDU’s endemic ‘Water-Horses’
