picture info	Flora Of Kenya Flora is all the plant life present in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring (indigenous) native plants.

Prior to this, the two terms were used indiscriminately.Thurmann, J. (1849). ''Essai de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
