This plant originated from Indonesia, more specifically from Java island, out of which it spread to several places in the biogeographical region Malesia.

This position is reflected by the presence of plant species from several biogeographical regions as demonstrated by the comparatively high number of vascular plants in Oman.

""'Ropalidia " "'is a large genus of tribe distributed throughout the Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian biogeographical regions.

Natura 2000 sites are selected according to the conditions in each biogeographical region, thus selected sites represent species and habitat types under similar natural conditions across a suite of countries.

The distribution and diversity of damselfly species in the biogeographical regions is summarized here . ( There are no damselflies in the Antarctic . ) Note that some species are widespread and occur in multiple regions.

The last references ( Oppian, Claudius Aelianus ) to the animal in the transitional Mediterranean / Continental biogeographical region in the Balkans in the area of modern borderline between Greece, Macedonia, and Bulgaria date to the third century AD . Its population in Gaul was extinct in the 8th century AD . The species survived in the Ardennes and the Vosges Mountains until the 15th century.

"Forstera bellidifolia " is a glabrous perennial plant with Scapes are usually tall, with some as short as and as tall as, upon which white flowers are borne from November to March that fruit from February to April . " Forstera bellidifolia " is endemic to Tasmania and is widespread but primarily located in the mountainous regions of Western and Southwestern Tasmania in the Tasmanian Central Highlands, Tasmanian Northern Slopes, and Tasmanian West biogeographical regions.

Its incredible biodiversity in plant life is due to a combination of several unique factors : its setting in one of the richest plant regions of the world ( the tropical biogeographical region known as western Malesia which comprises the island of Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and the island of Borneo ), the fact that the mountain covers a wide climatic range from near sea level to freezing ground conditions near the summit, the jagged terrain and diversity of rocks and soils, the high levels of rainfall ( averaging about a year at park HQ ), and the climatic instability caused by periods of glaciation and catastrophic droughts which result in evolution and speciation.
