| Short description | Eucalyptus leucophloia and Corymbia terminalis low open woodland on limestone hills |
| Structure code | Low Woodland |
| Description | [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped in part as 1.7.1a and in part as 4.9.12x4. Low woodlands and open woodlands of Eucalyptus leucophloia (snappy gum) +/- Corymbia terminalis (bloodwood) over a Triodia spp. Understorey. Eucalyptus leucophylla may be present on more gently sloping areas and Eucalyptus pruinosa subsp. Pruinosa, Lysiphyllum cunninghamii or Corymbia aparrerinja on colluvial areas. Occasional shrubs and low trees include Terminalia canescens, Petalostigma pubescens and Atalaya hemiglauca. Corymbia terminalis may be dominant on chert ridges. Occurs on hills on Cambrian limestones and dolomites; shallow loams, calcareous red-brown earths and skeletal soils. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 19a). Vegetation communities in this regional ecosystem include: 1.9.6a: [RE not in use]²: This vegetation community is now mapped as 1.7.1a.

1 Estimated extent is from version 13.1 pre-clearing and 2021 remnant regional ecosystem mapping. Figures are rounded for simplicity. For more precise estimates, including breakdowns by tenure and other themes see remnant vegetation in Queensland.
2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use. It is included in the regional ecosystem description database because the RE code may appear in older versions of RE mapping and the Vegetation Management regulation.
