A genus of Australian flowering plants, typically with small delicate pink or white flowers.
Named after Ferdinand Bauer, an 18th-century botanical illustrator and naturalist. Genus names often honor scientists or explorers who contributed to botanical knowledge.
Bauera's naming reflects how scientists honor their colleagues—Ferdinand Bauer was one of history's greatest botanical illustrators, and having a plant genus named after him is the ultimate compliment in the scientific world.
