HClNC Vegetation Classification & mapping Project: Volume 1: Vegetation Classification Technical Report MU 166 — Melaleuca nodosa / Fern-leaved Banksia headland heath of the Central Coast Heathlands characterised by Melaleuca nodosa and Banksia oblongifolia, with other common shrubs including Allocasuarina distyla, Lambertia formosa, Hakea dactyloides, Pultenaea villosa, Epacris microphylla, Acacia myrtifolia, Dodonaea triquetra, Grevillea sericea and Lasiopetalum ferrugineum. The ground layer is characteristically dominated by Themeda australis with graminoids, including Ptilothrix deusta, Lomandra obliqua and Patersonia glabrate, also common. Forbs are less common or abundant with the main species being Gonocarpus teucrioides. The only naturalised species recorded at more than 25% of sites in this community is Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata (Bitou Bush, 38%). Within the study area, this community occurs on coastal headlands of the Central Coast on sandstones and conglomerates. MU 167 — Dwarf Casuarina / Wallum Banksia coastal heath of coastal headlands of Central Coast Heathlands dominated by Allocasuarina distyla and Banksia aemula, with other common shrub species including Eriostemon australasius, Woollsia pungens, Isopogon anemonifolius, Pimelea linifolia, Acacia suaveolens, Dampiera purpurea, Bossiaea ensata, B. scolopendria, Ricinocarpos pinifolius and Banksia oblongifolia. The ground layer is characteristically dominated by graminoid species, including Cyathochaeta diandra, Lomandra longifolia, L. glauca, Hypolaena fastigiata and Patersonia sericea. Forbs, such as Actinotus helianthi and Gonocarpus teucrioides, are also commonly present and the main grass species is Entolasia stricta. The only naturalised species recorded at more than 25% of sites in this community is Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata (Bitou Bush, 38%). This community occurs within the study area on coastal headlands of the Central Coast, mainly on sandstones. MU 167 may have particular regional conservation significance due to the recorded presence of the rare shrub Rulingia hermanniifolia, which is not recorded in this study outside this community. MU 168 — Wallum Banksia / Monotoca scoparia heath on coastal sands Heathlands strongly dominated by Banksia aemula, often in association with Monotoca scoparia. A diverse range of other shrub species is also typically present including Melaleuca nodosa, Leptospermum trinervium, L. semibaccatum, L. polygalifolium, Brachyloma daphnoides, Phyllota phylicoides, Boronia pinnata, Ricinocarpos pinifolius, Pimelea linifolia, Isopogon anemonifolius and Leucopogon virgatus. The ground layer is characteristically dominated by graminoids, with common species including Hypolaena fastigiata, Coleocarya gracilis, Caustis recurvata, Lomandra glauca and Schoenus ericetorum. Scattered forbs such as Gonocarpus teucrioides and Actinotus helianthi may also be present in the understorey. No naturalised species were recorded at more than 25% of sites in this community. This community is distributed within the study area on coastal dunes and sand barriers of the Lower North Coast and Central Coast. MU 168 may have particular regional conservation significance due to the recorded presence of the vulnerable shrub Allocasuarina simulans, which is not recorded in this study in any other community. MU 169 — Fern-leaf Banksia / Melaleuca nodosa / Leptocarpus tenax wallum heath Heathlands characteristically dominated by Banksia oblongifolia and Melaleuca nodosa. Other common shrub species include Persoonia lanceolata, Hibbertia fasciculata, Banksia aemula, 122
123 CHaPTeR 4 Results Melaleuca sieberi, M. thymifolia, Petrophile pulchella, Leptospermum juniperinum, Leucopogon ericoides, Callistemon pachyphyllus, Aotus ericoides and Isopogon anemonifolius. The parasitic climber Cassytha glabella is also commonly present in the overstorey. The ground layer is typically wet and dominated by graminoid species, including Leptocarpus tenax and Schoenus brevifolius. The fern-ally Selaginella uliginosa is also characteristic of the ground layer, as is the forb Trachymene incisa. No naturalised species were recorded at more than 25% of sites in this community. Within the study area, this community is distributed on coastal dunes and sand barriers of the Lower North Coast and Central Coast, mainly on Quaternary sands and mud. MU 170 — Heath-leaved Banksia / Fern-leaved Banksia / Wallum Boronia wet heath on coastal sands of Lower North Coast Heathlands dominated by Xanthorrhoea fulva, Leptospermum liversidgei and Banksia ericifolia, often in association with Banksia oblongifolia and Boronia falcifolia. Other common shrub species include Epacris obtusifolia, Dillwynia floribunda, Darwinia leptantha, Pimelea linifolia, Sprengelia sprengelioides, Baeckea imbricata, Persoonia lanceolata and Bauera capitata. The parasitic climber Cassytha glabella is also commonly present. The ground layer is typically wet and dominated by graminoids, including Sporadanthus interruptus, Leptocarpus tenax, Schoenus brevifolius, Selaginella uliginosa, Blandfordia grandiflora and Sowerbaea juncea. Common grass species include Panicum simile and Entolasia stricta, and common grasses include Mitrasacme polymorpha and Gonocarpus micranthus. No naturalised species were recorded in this community at more than 25% of sites. This community occurs within the study area on coastal dunes and sand barriers of the Lower North Coast. MU 171 — Leptospermum liversidgei / Crimson Bottlebrush wallum wet heath of Lower North Coast Heathlands characterised by Leptospermum liversidgei, which is strongly dominant and often associated with Callistemon citrinus and Xanthorrhoea fulva. Other common shrub species include Sprengelia sprengelioides, Callistemon pachyphyllus, Epacris microphylla, E. obtusifolia, Banksia robur and Adrastaea salicifolia. The understorey is characteristically wet and dominated by sedges and other graminoids, including Sporadanthus interruptus, Empodisma minus, Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus, Chorizandra sphaerocephala, Xyris operculata and Leptocarpus tenax. The clubmoss Lycopodiella lateralis is also common in the ground layer. No naturalised species were recorded in this community at more than 25% of sites. Within the study area, this community is distributed on coastal dunes and sand barriers of the Lower North Coast. MU 172 — Fern-leaf Banksia / Needlebush / Leptocarpus tenax / Lepyrodia scariosa wet heath on sandstone Heathlands characteristically dominated by Banksia oblongifolia and Hakea teretifolia, with other common shrubs including Epacris obtusifolia, Leptospermum juniperinum, Sprengelia incarnata, Dampiera stricta, Platysace linearifolia, Boronia parviflora and Acacia suaveolens. The grass-tree Xanthorrhoea resinosa is also common and often abundant. The ground layer is typically wet and dominated by sedges and other graminoids, with Lepyrodia scariosa and
