The Australian Flora Foundation is a not-for-profit organization with the sole objective of fostering scientific research into Australia’s flora. The Foundation has four categories of special interest:

Conservation of Australian plant diversity, particularly where there are threats from climatic change
Plant species with potential for cultivation
Cultivation of Australian plants
Rare and endangered plants: all applications must indicate how the research relates to the management plan for the species

The recent AFF newsletter lists three new final reports that have recently been added to the AFF website:

Adam Marchant, Andrew Perkins, George Orel, Gillian Towler: Exploring the horticultural potential of native Australian flowering shrubs in the Solanum brownii group

Jodi N. Price, Nathan Wong and John W. Morgan:The potential for recovery of herbaceous vegetation after release from a long history of sheep grazing in a species-rich woodland.

Melanie Conomikes,Cassandra McLean and Gregory Moore: Epacris impressa Labill.: Inoculation of cuttings with ericoid mycorrhizal fungus and DNA fingerprinting of floral races.

Summaries and final reports for other completed projects funded by the Foundation can be viewed on the Foundation's website.
