Aussie Agriculture:

• Aboriginal Antidotes: Though there a few written records, many remains and artifacts show that first nations people lived in harmony for tens of thousands of years before colonisation. Knowledge of plants were typically passed down in different ways, with many herbal traditions still exsisting today. 


• Criminals and Colonists: Upon European settlement, colonists brought their own European herbs so no exploration of the land would be needed as new society was established in Australia. Plant population between the two locations were already quite similar, though. 


• Modern Materia Medica: Many plants native to Australia typically won't be used, since colonist relied more heavily on their own practices as first nations peoples began to die out due to many reasons. The magical world still uses some native plants, however it is still limited with some hoping to re-investigate the field of Australian plants. 

Burrowing Bush:
Aloe perfodio is a magical plant which has a self defence mechanism when alerted. However, both magiarchaeolgists and herbologists are not able to explain how the plant knows that it is in danger. Each plant contains five spirals layered together, with pointed leaves which can allow for it to cut through the earth and disappear. the burrowing bush doesn't have much of a prefrence when it comes to soil acidicity, but with too much water or a soft texture could cause harm. Full sun is preferred, with it flourishing on rocky ground. As for its uses, it can be used to dig our opals without adverse effects. As for its healing uses, the Burrowing Bush can be used to oxgenate blood and used in potions to increase viality as well as unlock the abilty to breathe underwater. The plant can restore elecrtrolytes and tend to torn muscles. In addition, leaves of the bush can be used in variants of the Burn-Healing paste. 

Emu Bush: 

Eremophila is a non magical example of a healing plant, common within the Notern territory. This evergreen shrub had leaves which contrast towards the sandy desert, with its height ranging from 3-15 feet. Blooming occurs in Decemeber and lasts until April with no soil requirements aside from arable land. The area should be well drained with minimal water recieved. Full sunlight, with at least 6 hours a day is also a must. The plant was used by first nations tribes to sterlise sores and cuts, combat headaches and improve upon poor eyesight. Its leaves are used to treat Spattergroit, with flowers used in potions to correct astigmatism. 

Eucalyptus: 

Eucalyptus cladocalyx is one of many species of Eucalyptus native to Australia. Gum trees are able to grow between 40 and 90 feet tall with yellow, orange-brown bark and creamy white flowers blooming between December to April. Eucalyptus should be grown in soil with a pH level between 6.5 and 8.5 in either full sun or partial sun. The plant prefers less watering levels and should only be watered so soil is only a touch moist. Some subspecies exsist in Europe between Venemous Tentacula. However, it can be drunk and used to cure diarrehea and muscle spasms. In more recent times, it has been used in the Smooth Smile Elixir to gurantee chapped lips. 

Lemon Grass: 

Cymbopogon ambiguus is by far the easiest plant to care for out of all discussed thus far. This pennerial can be planted in any arable land and is resistant to overwatering. This herb tolerates anywhere from funn sun to partial shade and will produce brown flowers all year round. Growing around all areas of Australia aside from the southern tip, it can grow from three to six and a half feet tall. This plant can be used traditionally to treat fevers by boiling the plant in water, allowing cooling time and washing the ailing person with this water. The plant is also used to treat coughing, congestion and head pains. Current uses include the Migraine Mixture, with some European versions exsisting.
