New South Wales ( abbreviated as NSW ) is a state on the east coast of : Australia . It borders Queensland to the north , ___MASK13___ to the south , and South Australia to the west . It has a coast line with the Tasman Sea on its east side . The Australian Capital Territory is an enclave within the state . New South Wales ' state capital is Sydney , which is also Australia ' s most populous city . , the estimated population of New South Wales was 7 . 5 million , making it Australia ' s most populous state . Just under two - thirds of the state ' s population , 4 . 67 million , live in the Greater Sydney ___MASK28___ . Inhabitants of New South Wales are referred to as " New South Welshmen ". The ___MASK89___ are a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere . The family comprises 83 genera with about 1 , 660 known species . Together with the ___MASK23___ and ___MASK50___ , they make up the order ___MASK42___ . Well - known genera include " Protea ", " ___MASK8___ ", " Embothrium ", " Grevillea ", " Hakea ", " Dryandra ", and " ___MASK64___ ". Species such as the New South Wales waratah (" Telopea speciosissima "), king protea (" Protea cynaroides "), and various species of " ___MASK8___ ", " Grevillea ", and " Leucadendron " are popular cut flowers , while the nuts of " ___MASK64___ integrifolia " are widely grown commercially and consumed . Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity . The ___MASK37___ is an order of insects that includes moths and butterflies ( both called lepidopterans ). 180 , 000 species of ___MASK37___ are described , in 126 families and 46 superfamilies , 10 % of the total described species of living organisms . It is one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world . The term was coined by Linnaeus in 1735 and is derived from Ancient Greek ( scale ) and ( wing ). The ___MASK37___ show many variations of the basic body structure that have evolved to gain advantages in lifestyle and distribution . Recent estimates suggest the order may have more species than earlier thought , and is among the four most speciose orders , along with the Hymenoptera , Diptera , and Coleoptera . The ___MASK99___ are a family of moths , commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths , in the order Lepidoptera . ___MASK99___ is a large family with over 10 , 350 species described , and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea ., although the genus " Heliocosma " is sometimes placed within this superfamily . Many of these are economically important pests . Olethreutidae is a junior synonym . The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back producing a rather rounded profile . ___MASK50___ , sometimes called the sacred ___MASK81___ family , is a family of flowering plants , including the single genus " Nelumbo " with two species , " N . lutea " ( North America ) and " N . nucifera " ( widespread in tropical Asia ). ___MASK72___ is both the botanical name and the English common name of a genus of South African flowering plants , sometimes also called sugarbushes ( Afrikaans : suikerbos ). In local tradition , the ___MASK72___ flower represents change and hope . ___MASK44___ is a genus of two to eight species ( depending on taxonomic interpretation ) in the ___MASK45___ family Proteaceae , native to southern South America , in Chile and adjacent western ___MASK98___ ; the genus occurs as far south as Tierra del Fuego . Common names include Chilean firebush in English , and notro , ciruelillo , fosforito in Chilean Spanish . Arotrophora is a genus of ___MASK51___ moth . They occur in Australia , where they are strongly associated with the plant family Proteaceae . All of the known Australian larvae bore in Banksia flower spikes . The genus was recently discovered from the Oriental region and one species is found in Papua . A shrub or bush is a small to medium - sized woody ___MASK45___ . It is distinguished from a tree by its multiple stems and shorter height , usually under 6 m ( 20 ft ) tall . Plants of many species may grow either into shrubs or trees , depending on their growing conditions . Small , low shrubs , generally less than 2 m ( 6 . 6 ft ) tall , such as lavender , periwinkle and most small garden varieties of roses , are often termed subshrubs . ___MASK51___ is a genus of moths belonging to the ___MASK99___ family . A flower , sometimes known as a bloom or blossom , is the reproductive structure found in plants that are floral ( plants of the division ___MASK6___ , also called angiosperms ). The biological function of a flower is to effect reproduction , usually by providing a mechanism for the union of sperm with eggs . Flowers may facilitate outcrossing ( fusion of sperm and eggs from different individuals in a population ) or allow selfing ( fusion of sperm and egg from the same flower ). Some flowers produce diaspores without fertilization ( parthenocarpy ). Flowers contain sporangia and are the site where gametophytes develop . Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals , so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen . After fertilization , the ovary of the flower develops into fruit containing seeds . Ants are eusocial ___MASK55___ of the family Formicidae and , along with the related wasps and bees , belong to the order Hymenoptera . Ants evolved from wasp - like ancestors in the Cretaceous period , about 99 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants . More than 12 , 500 of an estimated total of 22 , 000 species have been classified . They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and the distinctive node - like structure that forms their slender waists . Crepuscular animals are those that are active primarily during twilight ( i . e ., the period immediately after dawn and that immediately before dusk ). It is thus to be distinguished from diurnal and nocturnal behavior where an ___MASK56___ is active during the hours of daylight or the hours of darkness respectively . The term is not precise , however , as some crepuscular animals may also be active on a moonlit night or during an overcast day . The term matutinal is used for animals that are only active before dawn , and vespertine for those only active after sunset . A wildflower ( or wild flower ) is a flower that grows in the wild , meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted . Yet " wildflower " meadows of a few mixed species are sold in seed packets . The term implies that the ___MASK45___ probably is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar that is in any way different from the way it appears in the wild as a native ___MASK45___ , even if it is growing where it would not naturally . The term can refer to the flowering ___MASK45___ as a whole , even when not in bloom , and not just the flower . ___MASK42___ is the botanical name of an order of flowering plants consisting of two ( or three ) families . The ___MASK42___ have been recognized by almost all taxonomists . Moths comprise a group of ___MASK55___ related to butterflies , belonging to the order ___MASK37___ . Most lepidopterans are moths ; and there are thought to be approximately 160 , 000 species of moth , many of which are yet to be described . Most species of moth are nocturnal , but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species . ___MASK8___ is a genus of around 170 species in the plant family Proteaceae . These Australian wildflowers and popular garden plants are easily recognised by their characteristic flower spikes and fruiting " cones " and heads . When it comes to size , banksias range from prostrate woody shrubs to trees up to 30 metres tall . They are generally found in a wide variety of landscapes ; sclerophyll forest , ( occasionally ) rainforest , shrubland , and some more arid landscapes , though not in Australia ' s deserts . Indonesia ( or ; Indonesian : ), officially the Republic of Indonesia , is a unitary sovereign state and transcontinental country located mainly in Southeast Asia with some territories in Oceania . Situated between the Indian and Pacific oceans , it is the world ' s largest island country , with more than seventeen thousand islands . At , Indonesia is the world ' s 14th - largest country in terms of land ___MASK28___ and world ' s 7th - largest country in terms of combined sea and land ___MASK28___ . It has an estimated population of over 260 million people and is the world ' s fourth most populous country , the most populous Austronesian nation , as well as the most populous Muslim - majority country . The world ' s most populous island of Java contains more than half of the country ' s population . ___MASK64___ is a genus of four species of trees indigenous to Australia and constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae . They are native to north eastern New South Wales and central and south eastern Queensland . The tree is commercially important for its fruit , the ___MASK64___ nuts ( or simply " ___MASK64___ "). Other names include Queensland nut , bush nut , maroochi nut , bauple nut , and Hawaii nut . In Australian Aboriginal languages , the fruit is known by names such as " bauple ", " gyndl ", " jindilli ", and " boombera ". Previously , more species with disjunct distributions were named as members of this genus " ___MASK64___ ". Genetics and morphological studies more recently published in 2008 show they have separated from the genus " ___MASK64___ ", correlating less closely than thought from earlier morphological studies . The species previously named in the " ___MASK64___ " genus may still be referred to overall by the descriptive , non - scientific name of ___MASK64___ ; their disjunct distributions and current scientific names are : ___MASK64___ integrifolia is a tree in the Proteaceae family , native to Queensland in Australia . Common names include ___MASK64___ nut , bauple nut , Queensland nut or nut oak . ___MASK5___ is a genus of about 80 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae , endemic to South Africa , where they are a prominent part of the fynbos ecoregion and vegetation type . ___MASK77___ is a diverse genus of about 360 species of evergreen flowering plants in the family Proteaceae , native to rainforest and more open habitats in Australia , New Guinea , New Caledonia , Sulawesi and other Indonesian islands east of the Wallace Line . It was named in honour of Charles Francis Greville . The species range from prostrate shrubs less than tall to trees tall . Common names include ___MASK77___ , spider flower , silky oak and toothbrush plant . Closely related to the genus " ___MASK16___ ", the genus gives its name to the subfamily ___MASK36___ . The ___MASK23___ are a family of flowering plants belonging to the order ___MASK42___ . This family has been recognized by almost all taxonomists , and is sometimes called the " plane - tree family ". The family consists of only a single extant genus " Platanus ", with eight known species . The plants are tall trees , native to temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere . The hybrid London plane is widely planted in cities worldwide . ___MASK16___ ( pincushion tree ) is a genus of 149 species of shrubs and small trees in the Proteaceae , native to Australia . They are found throughout the country , with the highest species diversity being found in the south west of Western Australia . Solomon Islands is a sovereign country consisting of six major islands and over 900 smaller islands in Oceania lying to the east of Papua New Guinea and northwest of Vanuatu and covering a land ___MASK28___ of . The country ' s capital , Honiara , is located on the island of Guadalcanal . The country takes its name from the Solomon Islands archipelago , which is a collection of Melanesian islands that also includes the North Solomon Islands ( part of Papua New Guinea ), but excludes outlying islands , such as Rennell and Bellona , and the Santa Cruz Islands . South Africa , officially the Republic of South Africa ( RSA ), is the southernmost country in Africa . It is bounded on the south by of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans , on the north by the neighbouring countries of ___MASK83___ , Botswana and Zimbabwe , and on the east and northeast by Mozambique and Swaziland , and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho . South Africa is the 25th - largest country in the world by land area , and with close to 56 million people , is the world ' s 24th - most populous nation . It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere . It is the only country that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean . About 80 percent of South Africans are of Sub - Saharan African ancestry , divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different Bantu languages , nine of which have official status . The remaining population consists of Africa ' s largest communities of European ( white ), Asian ( Indian ), and multiracial ( coloured ) ancestry . In botany , a tree is a perennial ___MASK45___ with an elongated stem , or trunk , supporting branches and leaves in most species . In some usages , the definition of a tree may be narrower , including only woody plants with secondary growth , plants that are usable as lumber or plants above a specified height . Trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of ___MASK45___ species that have independently evolved a woody trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight . In looser senses , the taller palms , the tree ___MASK25___ , bananas and bamboos are also trees . Trees tend to be long - lived , some reaching several thousand years old . The tallest known tree , a coast redwood named Hyperion , stands high . Trees have been in existence for 370 million years . It is estimated that there are just over 3 trillion mature trees in the world . ___MASK72___ cynaroides , the king ___MASK72___ , is a flowering plant . It is a distinctive member of " ___MASK72___ ", having the largest flower head in the genus . The species is also known as giant ___MASK72___ , honeypot or king sugar bush . It is widely distributed in the southwestern and southern parts of South Africa in the fynbos region . ___MASK55___ ( from Latin ', a calque of Greek ['], " cut into sections ") are a class of invertebrates within the arthropod phylum that have a chitinous exoskeleton , a three - part body ( head , ___MASK58___ and abdomen ), three pairs of jointed legs , compound eyes and one pair of antennae . They are the most diverse group of animals on the planet , including more than a million described species and representing more than half of all known living organisms . The number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million , and potentially represent over 90 % of the differing animal life forms on Earth . ___MASK55___ may be found in nearly all environments , although only a small number of species reside in the oceans , a habitat dominated by another arthropod group , crustaceans . Australia , officially the Commonwealth of Australia , is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent , the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands . It is the world ' s sixth - largest country by total ___MASK28___ . The neighbouring countries are Papua New Guinea , Indonesia and East Timor to the north ; the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to the north - east ; and New Zealand to the south - east . Australia ' s capital is Canberra , and its largest urban ___MASK28___ is Sydney . ___MASK65___ speciosissima , commonly known as the New South Wales waratah or simply waratah , is a large shrub in the plant family Proteaceae . It is endemic to New South Wales in Australia and is the floral emblem of that state . No subspecies are recognised , but the closely related " ___MASK65___ aspera " was only recently classified as a separate species . Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees , and other woody plants . It is an organic material , a natural composite of cellulose fibers which are strong in tension embedded in a matrix of lignin which resists compression . Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees , or it is defined more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere such as in the roots of trees or shrubs . In a living tree it performs a support function , enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by themselves . It also conveys water and nutrients between the leaves , other growing tissues , and the roots . Wood may also refer to other ___MASK45___ materials with comparable properties , and to material engineered from wood , or wood chips or fiber . New Zealand is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean . The country geographically comprises two main landmasses  that of the North Island , or Te Ika - a - Mui , and the South Island , or Te Waipounamu  and numerous smaller islands . New Zealand is situated some east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly south of the Pacific island ___MASK85___ of New Caledonia , Fiji , and Tonga . Because of its remoteness , it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans . During its long period of isolation , New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal , fungal and plant life . The country ' s varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks , such as the Southern Alps , owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions . New Zealand ' s capital city is Wellington , while its most populous city is Auckland . Tasmania ( abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as " Tassie ") is an island state of the Commonwealth of Australia . It is located to the south of the Australian mainland , separated by Bass Strait . The state encompasses the main island of Tasmania , the 26th - largest island in the world , and the surrounding 334 islands . The state has a population of around 518 , 500 , just over forty percent of which resides in the Greater Hobart precinct , which forms the metropolitan ___MASK28___ of the state capital and largest city , Hobart .
