(TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs) Its seas were effervescent. (TV: Death to the Daleks) It was also described as having "floating seas", "beaches of weaved gold" (PROSE: Legacy) and "carpets of sweet perfumed flowers".

History
By the 30th century, Florana was discovered by the Earth Empire and used as a dumping ground for toxic waste by 36 species. (PROSE: Original Sin)

On 5 June 5968, there was a peace conference on Florana between humanity and the Chelonian Empire. The Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith arrived at the same time. The Doctor was mistaken as one of the delegates, and Sarah went to go sunbathing. There, she overheated two Chelonians discussing how one had poisoned the emperor's drink. Sarah went to warn the delegates, but the guards would not let her pass. The Doctor noticed the emperor's strange actions and poured a bucket of water down the emperor's throat, thus removing the poison. Changing out of his now ruined shirt, the Doctor and Sarah left Florana for Earth. (PROSE: The Hungry Bomb)

The Fifth Doctor took Tegan Jovanka and Nyssa to Florana at a point when it was ruined and taken over by Daleks. (AUDIO: The Elite)
