Native species are those that occur in the region in which they evolved. Plants evolve over geologic time in response to physical and biotic processes characteristic of a region: the climate, soils, timing of rainfall, drought, and frost; and interactions with the other species inhabiting the local community. Thus native plants possess certain traits that make them uniquely adapted to local conditions, providing a practical and ecologically valuable alternative for landscaping, conservation and restoration projects, and as livestock forage. In addition, native plants can match the finest cultivated plants in beauty, while often surpassing non-natives in ruggedness and resistance to drought, insects and disease.
Ex: Mango, Amla, Champka, Arjuna, Jamun, Chandana, bel, Shivani, Guggula etc...

One of the things that I love to take photos of are those native tress when I go hiking. Some of them really gets very big and I do hope that loggers would stay away from them as I have learned from my environmental safety training that there are still a lot of illegal loggers out there.
