The research carried out by Cavanilles documented over 600 species of plants from the Valencian region, as well as exotic species from expeditions made to Peru, Chile, the Philippines and Oceania. Cavanilles described a number of Australian plants, including the genera ''Angophora'' and ''Bursaria'', in his 6-volume ''Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum...'' (1791–1799). The Australian descriptions were based on collections made near Port Jackson and Botany Bay (New South Wales) by Luis Née (q.v.). Other Australian taxa were described in papers in ''Anal. Hist. Nat.'' 1: 89–107 (1799) & 3: 181–245 (1800).{{Cite web |title=Australian National Herbarium |url=https://www.anbg.gov.au/biography/cavanilles-antonio.html }} Cavanilles described a number of Australian plants, including the genera ''Angophora'' and ''Bursaria'', in his 6-volume ''Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum...''
