The Gerbera is a native of Africa - the Transvaal I believe. It goes under several names - Transvaal Daisy, African Daisy. It's botanical name is gerbera jamesonii.
There is a website which states that the Gerbera is also native to Tasmania. The only Tasmania I can find in a World Atlas, is the southernmost state of Australia, and I also have a letter from the Tasmanian Botanical Gardens stating that the Gerbera definitely is NOT a native of Tasmania. I think even commercial flower growers would have challenges growing the flower in that state without the aid of atmospheric controlled hot houses - a very expensive option. The Website is Gerbera.com
