Classification
Together with Telopea, Oreocallis and Alloxylon, Embothrium makes up a small group of terminal often red-flowering showy plants scattered around the southern edges of the Pacific Rim. Waratah ( Telopea) is a genus of five species of large Shrubs or small Trees in the Proteaceae, native to southeastern Australia Alloxylon is a genus of 5 species in the Proteaceae family of mainly small to medium-sized Trees They are native to the eastern coast of Australia The Pacific Rim refers to the countries and cities located around the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Known as the Embothriinae, this is an ancient group with roots in the mid Cretaceous, when Australia, Antarctica and South America were linked by land. The Cretaceous (kriːˈteɪʃəs, usually abbreviated 'K' for its German translation "Kreide" is a geologic period and system, reaching from the end of For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics.
