 But what are native plants?  Tony Avent of Plants Delight has been 
 quoted as saying that all plants were native before the continents

It depends on the contentents, actually.  When there was only one contenent,
the most evolved plants existing were the conifers; the flowering plants
didn't evolve until after the first split.
