Vegetation Management Plan - Bidjigal ReserveAppendix 3: Threatened Flora Species & Their Habitat RequirementsSPECIES COMMON NAME LEGISLATION HABITAT REQUIREMENTSHibbertia superans NSW TSC Act Occurs on sandstone ridgetops, often near the shale/sandstone boundary. Occurs in both open woodlandand heathland, and appears to prefer open disturbed areas, such as track sides.Vegetation community types include: Cumberland Shale Sandstone Transition Forest, Hinterland SandstoneGully Forest, Coastal Sandstone Ridgetop Woodland, and Sydney Hinterland Transition Woodland.TetrathecaglandulosaEpacris purpurascensvar. purpurascensBlack-eyed SusanClth EPBC andNSW TSC ActsNSW TSC ActAcacia bynoeana Bynoe's Wattle Clth EPBC andNSW TSC ActAssociated with shale-sandstone transition habitat where shale-capping occurs over sandstone, withassociated soil landscapes. Topographically, the plant occupies ridgetops, upper-slopes and to a lesserextent mid-slope sandstone benches.Soils are generally shallow, consisting of a yellow, clayey/sandy loam. Stony lateritic fragments are alsocommon in the soil profile on many of these ridgetops. Vegetation structure varies from heaths and scrub towoodlands/open woodlands, and open forest.Vegetation community types include: Cumberland Shale Sandstone Transition Forest, Sydney TurpentineIronbark Forest, Coastal Sandstone Ridgetop Woodland, Hinterland Sandstone Gully Forest, SandstoneRiparian Scrub, Sydney Hinterland Transition Woodland, Coastal Sandstone Plateau Heath, Blue Gum HighForest, Lower Blue Mountains Wet Forest.Found in a range of habitat types, most of which have a strong shale soil influence.Vegetation community types include: Cumberland Shale Sandstone Transition Forest, Sydney Shale-Ironstone Cap Forest, Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest, Coastal Sandstone Ridgetop Woodland, HinterlandSandstone Gully Forest, Sandstone Riparian Scrub, Sandstone Riparian Scrub, Sydney Hinterland TransitionWoodland, and Nepean Shale Cap Forest.Occurs in heath or dry sclerophyll forest on sandy soils. Seems to prefer open, sometimes slightly disturbedsites such as trail margins, edges of roadside spoil mounds and in recently burnt patches.Associated overstorey species include Red Bloodwood, Scribbly Gum, Parramatta Red Gum, Saw Banksia andNarrow-leafed Apple.
