indigenous plant
Naturally occurring vegetation
An indigenous plant is one that occurs naturally in a particular region, having evolved there or arrived without human intervention.
The term distinguishes native species from those introduced by people: The garden features indigenous plants that support local pollinators.
Indigenous plants typically require less water and maintenance than imported species, making them popular in sustainable landscaping.
