Founded in 1845, this state-supported institution occupies an 87-acre (35-hectare) site along the Yarra River, which flows through Melbourne. More than 20,000 species of plants, including a wide array of both native and exotic varieties, are cultivated in the greenhouses and outdoor areas of the gardens. The most important special collections are those featuring palms, rhododendrons, camellias, oaks, cacti, succulents, bromeliads, ferns, and native Australian trees.
