As in this photo of Sedum spathuliforlium growing on rocks in Oregon, it's natural habitat.
Using the term "native" would open a whole other can of worms. Let's say someone post a picture of a plant they have seen growing in an area for their entire life years. They post it under native habitat, but the plant is not a native plant, but one from Asia. You wouldn't be able to say it was in it's native habitat. If you were going to add another word in front of 'habitat' it should be 'natural'. I think it should be left at habitat. It may seem easier to try and simplify, that to educate, but I think educating would be better. In a situation like what zuzu encountered, I would suggest the moderator move the photo to the proper category. Then explain to the submitter what a habitat photo is.
