Description [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped as 3.5.19x3. Neofabricia myrtifolia (yellow teatree) and Asteromyrtus brassii dominate the sparse to mid-dense canopy (7-17m tall). Acacia crassicarpa (spoon tree), Allocasuarina littoralis (black sheoak) and Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp mahogany) also occur at high densities in the canopy. Callitris intratropica (cypress pine) may form part of the canopy but more frequently is an emergent tree (9-20m tall). The mid-dense sub-canopy layer (2-6m tall) is dominated by Leucopogon yorkensis. This species is also frequent in the very sparse to sparse shrub layer (0.5-2m tall), together with Alyxia spicata (chain fruit), Asteromyrtus brassii and Styphelia ruscifolia. Epiphytic orchids and ant plants are frequent on the trunks of the trees and shrubs. The ground layer is very sparse and dominated by the graminoids, Cleistochloa spp., Schoenus sparteus and Arthrostylis aphylla. Occurs on plains and low rises. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 28c).

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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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.
