<strong>Ryde</strong> Flora <strong>and</strong> Fauna Survey <strong>2007</strong> 141<br />
The forest canopy, on the north-west corner <strong>of</strong> the reserve, is dominated by Red<br />
Mahogany (Eucalyptus resinifera), Turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera) <strong>and</strong> Sydney<br />
Red Gum (Angophora costata). Arson occurred in 2002 <strong>and</strong> there has been excellent<br />
regeneration after the fire. There are numerous uncommon plants in the quadrat:<br />
Pultenaea villosa, Acacia brownii (Kubiak, 2005) while Pultenaea retusa is listed as<br />
vulnerable in Western Sydney (Benson & McDougall, 1991). This quadrat fulfils the<br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> Map Unit 43: Turpentine Ironbark Margin Forest with 69 native<br />
species <strong>of</strong> the required 38 <strong>and</strong> 12 <strong>of</strong> the 11 positive diagnostic species.<br />
