therefore excluded from analysis. These species are presented in
Table 126.

Fourteen species account for approximately 50% of the total species records in
ANHAT (Table 127). These species have over 500 records each. Veronica calycina
is represented by over 2500 records.

Fifty-six species (over 33%) had 30 or fewer individual site records in the ANHAT
database (Table 128). Seven of these are classified as threatened, including one
species classified as critically endangered. Exclusion of these poorly recorded species
eliminates 733 records. The species in this category are scattered in no obvious
pattern across Australia. Only one species has an estimate of more than 2000 km 2 for
its range. No information has been collated on the vegetation types for each species
of Scrophulariaceae.
