Antarctic Floristic Kingdom

Fitzroya cupressoides, Chiloé Island
Phormium tenax, Piha, New Zealand

The Antarctic Floristic Kingdom, also the Holantarctic Kingdom, is a floristic kingdom[1] that includes most areas of the world south of 40°S latitude. It was first identified by botanist Ronald Good, and later by Armen Takhtajan.[1] The Antarctic Floristic Kingdom is a classification in phytogeography, different from the Antarctic realm classification in biogeography, and from Antarctic flora genera/species classifications in botany.
