| Short description | Acacia meiosperma +/- Cochlospermum gregorii, Acacia shirleyi, Corymbia pocillum, Calytrix leptophylla shrubland on lateritic breakaways |
| Structure code | Open Scrub |
| Description | Acacia meiosperma shrubland to open scrub, occasionally with Cochlospermum gregorii, Acacia shirleyi, Corymbia pocillum, Grevillea pteridifolia and Macropteranthes montana. A lower shrub layer, commonly Calytrix leptophylla and Micromyrtus forsteri may occur. The sparse ground layer commonly includes Triodia spp., Schizachyrium fragile and Aristida dominii.

| Special values | 2.7.16: Supports plant species with restricted geographic ranges in the bioregion, including the threatened species Macropteranthes montana (V). |
| Fire management guidelines | INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Burn in association with surrounding landscape. Do not target with fire. ISSUES: Typically sparse ground layer that would not support fire. Mostly bare rock. |
| Comments | 2.7.16: Previously mapped as 2.7.1x2a. |
