HClNC Vegetation Classification & mapping Project: Volume 1: Vegetation Classification Technical Report
Leptospermum parvifolium, Dodonaea triangularis and Hibbertia circumdans. The ground
layer consists of an open mix of graminoids, including Lomandra glauca, L. confertifolia and
Patersonia sericea, grasses including Cleistochloa rigida, and forbs such as Goodenia hederacea
and Pomax umbellata. No naturalised species were recorded at more than 25% of sites in
this community.
Within the study area, this community is distributed on ridges and slopes in the northern
Wollemi NP and Goulburn River areas, mainly on sandstones. MU 140 may have particular
regional conservation significance as the rare shrubs Pseudanthus divaricatissimus and
Persoonia cuspidifera are only recorded in this study at sites included in this community.
MU 141 — Scribbly Gum / Narrow-leaved Ironbark / Bossiaea rhombifolia heathy open forest of
western Blue Mountains
Open forests with an overstorey dominated by Eucalyptus rossii, E. crebra and Callitris
endlicheri. The understorey is typically shrubby with Bossiaea rhombifolia and Leucopogon
muticus both common and abundant. Other common understorey species include
Brachyloma daphnoides, Styphelia triflora, Calytrix tetragona, Persoonia linearis, P. curvifolia,
Leucopogon muticus, Grevillea sericea and Macrozamia spiralis. The ground layer is typically
dominated by graminoids, including Patersonia sericea, Lomandra filiformis, L. glauca and
Schoenus ericetorum. Scattered grasses, including Entolasia stricta, and forbs, such as Pomax
umbellata and Goodenia hederacea, may also be present. The only naturalised species recorded
in more than 25% of sites in this community was Hypochaeris radicata (Catsear, 47%).
Within the study area, MU 141 occurs on sandstone ranges of the western Blue Mountains
and Goulburn River area at mid elevations. MU 141 may have particular regional
conservation significance as within this study the only records of the rare shrub Grevillea
obtusiflora occur in this community.
MU 142 — Large-fruited Grey Gum / Scribbly Gum / Black Pine heathy open forest of western Blue
Mountains
Open forests with an overstorey dominated by Eucalyptus punctata and E. rossii, often in
association with Callitris endlicheri. A sparse mid storey characterised by Acacia obtusifolia
may also be present. The understorey is typically shrubby with common species including
Persoonia linearis, Leucopogon muticus, Styphelia triflora, Monotoca scoparia, Phyllanthus
hirtellus, Acacia buxifolia, Hibbertia circumdans and Brachyloma daphnoides. The ground layer
is characterised by various graminoids, including Lomandra confertifolia, L. glauca and
Patersonia sericea, along with scattered grasses and forbs, including Entolasia stricta and
Pomax umbellata. No naturalised species were recorded at more than 25% of sites in this
community.
MU 142 occurs within the study area on sandstone ranges of the western Blue Mountains
and Goulburn River area.
MU 143 — Caley’s Ironbark / Currawang shrubby woodland of northern Wollemi National Park
Open forests to woodlands with an overstorey characteristically dominated by Eucalyptus
caleyi and E. fibrosa, and a mid storey dominated by Acacia doratoxylon. The understorey is
typically shrubby and often densely shrubby, with common species including Cassinia uncata,
Allocasuarina gymnanthera, Dodonaea viscosa, Cryptandra spinescens, Solanum stelligerum,
