HClNC Vegetation Classification & mapping Project: Volume 1: Vegetation Classification Technical Report MU 10 — Lilly Pilly / Coachwood sandstone gully warm temperate rainforest on sandstone ranges of the Sydney Basin Closed forests to open forests with a canopy characterised by Acmena smithii, Ceratopetalum apetalum, Callicoma serratifolia, Doryphora sassafras, Backhousia myrtifolia and Tristaniopsis laurina, with Eucalyptus deani as an occasional emergent. The understorey typically consists of a range of shrubs, including Acacia elata, Tasmannia insipida and Pittosporum revolutum; tree-ferns (Cyathea australis and Todea barbara); and various climbers, such as Pandorea pandorana, Cissus hypoglauca, Clematis aristata and Marsdenia rostrata. The ground layer is usually ferny and commonly includes Blechnum cartilagineum and B. nudum. No naturalised species were recorded at more than 25% of sites in this community. This unit is closely related to MU 7, however, it occurs on less-sheltered sites and is less species rich. Within the study area this community occurs in sheltered sites on sandstone ranges of the Sydney Basin including the Central Coast and Wollemi NP area. MU 11 — Sassafras / Grey Possumwood warm temperate rainforest Closed forests characterised by a canopy dominated by Doryphora sassafras and Quintinia sieberi, with other common canopy trees including Cryptocarya foveolata and Orites excelsus. The mid storey typically consists of various shrubs and small trees, including Cryptocarya meissneriana, Aristotelia australasica, Tasmannia insipida and Coprosma quadrifida, with the rare, small tree Cryptocarya nova-anglica also occasionally present. Tree ferns, including Dicksonia antarctica, Cyathea australis and Todea Barbara, are also common in the mid storey, as well as various climbers, including Fieldia australis, Pandorea pandorana and Clematis aristata, and epiphytes, such as Pyrrosia rupestris and Dendrobium pugioniforme. The ground layer is characteristically ferny, with common ground ferns including Microsorum scandens, Blechnum wattsii and Calochlaena dubia. Other common ground layer species include Lomandra spicata, Drymophila moorei and Urtica incisa. No naturalised species were recorded in this community at more than 25% of sites. Within the study area, this community occurs in sheltered gullies on the Northern Escarpment at higher elevation on basalts. MU 12 — Sassafras warm temperate rainforest Tall open woodlands to closed forests characterised by Doryphora sassafras, with other common canopy species including Schizomeria ovata and Polyosma cunninghamii, and with Eucalyptus viminalis commonly occurring as a canopy emergent. The mid storey, consisting of shrubs and small trees, commonly includes Acacia melanoxylon, Hedycarya angustifolia, Melicytus dentatus, Coprosma quadrifida, Polyscias sambucifolia, Notelaea longifolia and Rubus rosifolius. Various climbers are also common in the mid and overstorey, including Parsonsia lanceolata, Pandorea pandorana, Smilax australis, Clematis glycinoides and Smilax glyciphylla, with the epiphytic fern Pyrrosia rupestris also common. The ground layer is typically ferny, with common ferns including Polystichum fallax, Lastreopsis decomposita and Microsorum scandens, and with scattered forbs such as Urtica incisa also usually present. No naturalised species were recorded in this community at more than 25% of sites. This community is distributed within the study area in sheltered gullies on sandstone plateaux of the western Blue Mountains at higher elevations. 66
Subtropical rainforests 67 CHaPTeR 4 Results MU 13 — Rosewood / Brown Beech subtropical rainforest on the southern slopes of Barrington area Closed forests with a highly diverse canopy characterised by Dysoxylum fraserianum, Pennantia cunninghamii and Doryphora sassafras. Other common canopy species include Daphnandra species A, Dendrocnide excelsa, Sloanea australis, Baloghia inophylla, Polyosma cunninghamii, Caldcluvia paniculosa, Diospyros pentamera, Brachychiton acerifolius, Citronella moorei, Ficus coronata, Cryptocarya obovata, C. erythroxylon, C. glaucescens and Orites excelsus. A mid storey of smaller trees is commonly present and includes Alectryon subcinereus, Alangium villosum, Mischocarpus australis, Streblus brunonianus, Neolitsea dealbata, Syzygium australe, Diospyros australis, Claoxylon australe, Vesselowskya rubifolia and Acmena smithii. Various smaller shrubs may also be present in the understorey, such as Eupomatia laurina, Tasmannia insipida and Psychotria loniceroides. The ground layer is characteristically ferny, with common fern species including Pteris umbrosa, Adiantum formosum, Lastreopsis decomposita, Arthropteris tenella, Microsorum scandens, Lastreopsis acuminata, Diplazium assimile and Doodia aspera. In addition, various graminoids and forbs are also common in the ground layer, such as Lomandra spicata, Gymnostachys anceps and Dictymia brownii. No naturalised species were recorded in this community at more than 25% of sites. Within the study area this community is restricted to the Barrington Tops area at mid elevations. Littoral rainforests MU 14 — Tuckeroo / Coast Banksia littoral rainforest and coastal low open forest Open forest to low closed forest characterised by Cupaniopsis anacardioides and Banksia integrifolia, with other common canopy species, including Livistona australis, Endiandra sieberi, Polyscias elegans, Acmena smithii and Alphitonia excelsa. Various shrubs are common in the mid storey, including Breynia oblongifolia, Dodonaea triquetra, Glochidion ferdinandi, Notelaea longifolia, Pittosporum revolutum, P. undulatum, Acacia irrorata and A. longifolia. Numerous climbers are commonly also present in the mid and overstorey including Smilax australis, S. glyciphylla, Marsdenia rostrata, Pandorea pandorana, Cissus hypoglauca, C. antarctica, Stephania japonica and Kennedia rubicunda. The ground layer typically consists of Pteridium esculentum and graminoids, such as Lomandra longifolia and Dianella caerulea. Scattered forbs, such as Commelina cyanea and Viola hederacea, may also be common in the understorey. Naturalised species recorded at more than 25% of species in this community include Ehrharta erecta (Panic Veldtgrass, 29%), Lantana camara (Lantana, 71%) and Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata (Bitou Bush, 92%). Within the study area, this community occurs on coastal lowlands of the Lower North Coast and Central Coast on sands and sandstones. MU 14 is equivalent to the Endangered Ecological Community ‘Littoral Rainforest in the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner Bioregions’ (DECC 2009).
