HClNC Vegetation Classification & mapping Project: Volume 1: Vegetation Classification Technical Report conglomerates and siltstones. This community may be of particular regional conservation significance due to the recorded presence of the rare orchid Acianthus amplexicaulis, which is not recorded in any other community in this study. MU 90 — Smooth-barked Apple open forest of coastal lowlands Open forests characterised by Angophora costata often co-dominant with Eucalyptus pilularis and less commonly with other eucalypts including E. piperita and E. globoidea. An open mid storey characterised by Allocasuarina torulosa and often including Clerodendrum tomentosum is typically present. The understorey is typically shrubby and commonly includes Polyscias sambucifolia, Breynia oblongifolia, Notelaea longifolia, Acacia longifolia and Dodonaea triquetra, along with scrambling climbers such as Eustrephus latifolius, Clematis aristata and Hibbertia dentata. The ground layer typically consists a mixture of grasses, predominately Oplismenus aemulus, Entolasia marginata, Imperata cylindrica, Poa affinis and Echinopogon ovatus; grasslike plants including Lomandra longifolia and Lepidosperma neesii; and ground ferns, mainly Adiantum aethiopicum and Pteridium esculentum. Various small herbs may also be commonly present, including Pratia purpurascens and Dichondra repens. Naturalised species commonly recorded in this community included Lantana camara (Lantana, 78%) and Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata (Bitou Bush, 56%). Within the study area, this community occurs on coastal lowlands of the Central Coast in the Macquarie / Tuggerah Lakes area. MU 91 — Large-fruited Grey Gum / Smooth-barked Apple / Blue-leaved Stringybark semi-mesic shrub / grass open forest on coastal ranges of the Sydney Basin Open forests characterised by Eucalyptus punctata, often in association with E. agglomerata, Angophora costata and Syncarpia glomulifera. An open mid storey is commonly present and characterised by Allocasuarina torulosa and may also include Acacia maidenii and A. implexa. The understorey is characteristically shrubby and may include a variety of smaller shrubs, such as Persoonia linearis, Platysace lanceolata, Podolobium ilicifolium, Cassinia cunninghamii and Polyscias sambucifolia, along with a diverse range of climbers, including Billardiera scandens, Hardenbergia violacea, Kennedia rubicunda and Eustrephus latifolius. The ground layer is characteristically dominated by grasses, including Entolasia stricta, Themeda australis, Microlaena stipoides and Panicum simile, and grass-like species, including Lepidosperma laterale, Dianella caerulea and Lomandra longifolia. Sparse ground ferns, mainly Cheilanthes sieberi, and herbs, including Pratia purpurascens, Goodenia heterophylla and Hybanthus monopetalus, are also commonly present. Naturalised species recorded in this community in more than 25% of sites were Senecio madagascariensis (Fireweed, 32%) and Hypochaeris radicata (Catsear, 32%). This community is distributed within the study area on the sandstone ranges of the Central Coast at mid to low elevations. MU 92 — Narrow-leaved Ironbark / Rough-barked Apple shrubby open forest Open forests with a canopy characterised by Eucalyptus crebra, often in association with Angophora floribunda, E. punctata and A. costata and occasionally with E. fibrosa. An open mid layer including Allocasuarina torulosa and Exocarpos cupressiformis may also be present. The understorey is typically shrubby and commonly includes Pultenaea scabra, Persoonia linearis, Exocarpos strictus, Acacia parvipinnula and Grevillea mucronulata, along with the 94
95 CHaPTeR 4 Results climbers Hardenbergia violacea, Billardiera scandens and Pandorea pandorana. The ground layer characteristically consists of a mixture of grasses, including Themeda australis, Panicum simile, Microlaena stipoides and Entolasia marginata, and grass-like species, such as Lomandra longifolia, Dianella revoluta and D. caerulea. Scattered ground ferns, mainly Cheilanthes sieberi, and forbs, including Pomax umbellata and Pratia purpurascens, are also commonly present. No naturalised species were recorded in more than 25% of sites in this community. This community occurs within the study area on slopes of sandstone ranges of the Sydney Basin in the Yengo NP area. MU 93 — Smooth-barked Apple / Swamp Mahogany / Cabbage Palm open forest Open forests with a canopy characterised by Angophora costata, often in association with Eucalyptus robusta and Livistona australis, and commonly including E. umbra. The understorey is typically shrubby and includes taller shrubs, such as Glochidion ferdinandi, Banksia spinulosa, Melaleuca linariifolia and Leptospermum polygalifolium, as well as various smaller shrubs, including Pultenaea villosa, Acacia longifolia, Dodonaea triquetra and Polyscias sambucifolia. Various climbers are also commonly present in the understorey, including Smilax glyciphylla and Eustrephus latifolius. The ground layer typically consists of a mixture of grasses, mainly Entolasia stricta, Themeda australis and Imperata cylindrica, grass-like plants, including Gahnia clarkei, G. sieberiana, Dianella caerulea and Lomandra longifolia, and the fern Pteridium esculentum. Scattered forbs, such as Gonocarpus teucrioides, may also be present in the understorey. No naturalised species were recorded in more than 25% of sites in this community. Within the study area, this community occurs on coastal lowlands on the Central Coast in the Macquarie / Tuggerah Lakes area, mainly on sands and sandstones. MU 94 — Podocarpus spinulosus / Burrawang shrubby woodland of the southern Central Coast Open forests to woodlands with a mixed canopy typically including Angophora costata, Corymbia gummifera and Livistona australis and commonly also including Syncarpia glomulifera and Eucalyptus piperita. A mid storey, characteristically dominated by Podocarpus spinulosus and including Elaeocarpus reticulatus, is generally also present. The understorey is characteristically shrubby and dominated by Macrozamia communis and Xanthorrhoea arborea and also includes a diverse range of shrubs, such as Pultenaea flexilis, Platylobium formosum, Banksia serrata, Persoonia pinifolia, Dodonaea triquetra and Acacia ulicifolia. Climbers, such as Pandorea pandorana, Smilax glyciphylla and Hibbertia dentata, are also common. The ground layer is often dominated by Pteridium esculentum along with various grasses, including Themeda australis and Entolasia stricta, and grass-like plants, such as Lomandra longifolia and Dianella caerulea. No naturalised species were recorded in more than 25% of sites within this community. This community is restricted within the study area to low coastal hills of the southern Central Coast on Quaternary sands and Triassic sandstones. MU 95 — Smooth-barked Apple / Broad-leaved Mahogany heathy woodland on hills at Nelson Bay Open forests to woodlands with an overstorey characterised by Angophora costata often in association with Eucalyptus umbra, and with E. piperita, E. pilularis and E. capitellata also commonly occurring. The understorey typically consists of a diverse range of shrubs, including Pultenaea villosa, Acacia myrtifolia, Lomatia silaifolia, Hakea sericea, H. dactyloides
