I consider native plants those that were likely here when native Americans 
roamed the what's now North America. Plants also can be native to regions, 
such as Eastern U.S.  Western U.S., Southern U.S., etc. 

Naturalized plants....such as those orange daylilies that grow wild all over 
the place... have escaped from gardens but naturalized in given area. Some 
people refer to these as native, althought I consider them naturalized.

Then, just last week, I ran across the description of "native throughout the 
Northern Hemisphere."

I think the definition is fluid, so use one you like. You might check 
www.inpaws.org (Inidana Native Plant and Wildflower Society) to see if 
there's a description there. Also, the Lady Bird Johnson's National 
Wildflower Center might be of some help.
