Warm temperate rainforests receive over 1300mm rainfall each year. They have two layers, consisting of a fairly even canopy of trees and a lower layer of tree and ground ferns, though these are not plentiful. There are usually only 3 to 15 tree species. Cool temperate rainforests are found in high places, around 900 to 1500 meters, and get 1750mm to 3000mm of rain each year. When it is not raining, the rainforests are often misty.Below the canopy there is a layer of thickly growing tree ferns and other ground ferns. Australia's largest areas of cool temperate rainforest are found in Tasmania, covering around 10% of the island state. The main trees include myrtle, leatherwood, celery-top pine, sassafras, Huon pine, pencil pine, King Billy pine or deciduous beech. These are ancient species of trees that evolved from trees growing in Gondwanaland.
