Print Description
The NSW Christmas Bush (Ceratopetalum gummifer) earns its name by bursting into colour just in time for the Australian summer holidays. Its small white flowers transform into vibrant red calyces, creating a festive display that has made it a beloved symbol of an Australian Christmas.
Native Habitat
Ceratopetalum gummifer is endemic to the forests and sandstone gullies of coastal New South Wales. It grows as an understory tree in moist eucalypt forests, favouring the sheltered slopes of the Sydney Basin and Blue Mountains.
Cultural Heritage
Used by Aboriginal peoples for its timber and bark. The species became an Australian Christmas tradition in the early 20th century, when florists began selling the brilliant red branches as a native alternative to imported holly and poinsettia.

The Story Behind the Print
Every print in our collection begins with a historical botanical illustration, many over 150 years old, sourced from institutional archives and scientific expeditions that first documented Australia's extraordinary native flora.
These illustrations were originally created by botanical artists who spent weeks in the field, working directly from living specimens. The level of detail in each plate reflects a scientific tradition where accuracy was paramount and beauty was a natural consequence of careful observation.
We reproduce each illustration using FSC-certified archival paper and calibrated colour processes that preserve the subtlety of the original work. The result is a print that honours the craft of the original artist while meeting contemporary standards for sustainable production.
