FINAL DRAFT91.3.2 – Current Plant AssociationsThe following plant communities and species have been recorded andmapped on site. The species list (53sp.) is not exhaustive but highlights thatthe area contains more or less intact plant communities and diversity and theopportune faunal list indicates that biodiversity values are high.The dominant plant communities consist of:Maireana sedifolia (Blue bush)/ Atriplex vesicaria (Bladder Salt Bush)Chenopod Low Shrubland (5) STATUS R (Neagle 1995 ) +/- Mid Dense to DenseMaireana pyramidata (Black Bluebush), Eremophila scoparia (Silver Leaf EmuBush), Eremophila longifolia ((Weeping Emu Bush), Dodonaea viscosa(Narrow Leaf Hop Bush), Santalum acuminatum (Quandong). The Sparse toMid-Dense Understorey consists of: Lycium australe (Native Boxthorn),Scaevola spinescens (Spiny Fan Flower), Euphorbia tannensis ssperemophila (Desert Spurge) Enchylaena tomentosa (Ruby Saltbush),Sclerolaena diacantha (Grey bindii), Solanum ellipticum (Velvet Potato Bush),Austrostipa nitida (Spear Grass), Austrodanthonia caespitosa (CommonWallaby Grass), Sida intricata( (Twiggy Sida), Sarcozona praecox (NoonFlower), Ptilotus obovatus (Cotton Bush). Overall the condition class of theChenopod Low Shrublands within the trade off area is classified as M Neagle1995and the HSR Score B 375 . Weed invasion is relatively low with the exception ofWards Weed which becomes Dense in areas containing sparse shrubland.Orbea variegata (Carrion Flower) is scattered throughout chenopodcommunities and densities vary from Sparse to Mid-Dense (C.
