Is there a reference for the Jacaranda being native to Australia? I was under the impression it was not native. A casual search of other sources seems to support this view, but I can't find anything authoritative either way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.8.8.138 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Dispute - Gondwanan and native status

The article quite clearly states that Jacarandas are neo-tropical. So where did this "Gondwanan" status come from? I can find zero facts on the Internet backing up this article's assertion that they are also native to Australia and Africa. Until someone can give incontrovertible proof one way or the other, the disputed tag should remain. Peter1968 20:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

It isn't true. I've removed the Australia and Africa claims. - MPF 15:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selected species

Isn't it massive overkill to link every one of the species? Some guy 13:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

No, not really. Many other plant genera have all their species listed. One day maybe, there'll be articles for them. Peter1968 00:21, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
