Queensland (Qld) botanical regions

Geographic Features have fairly strong discriminating power, but use them carefully. If a specimen comes from near the boundary between two or more regions, select several regions to allow for range extensions or geographic imprecision. Also, it is not advisable to use this Feature too early in your identification.
