| Description | [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped as either 3.12.8 or 3.12.40. Corymbia nesophila (Melville Island bloodwood) and C. stockeri subsp. peninsularis (gum topped bloodwood) dominate the sparse to mid-dense canopy (21-28m tall). The open sub-canopy usually contains Grevillea parallela (silver oak) and Acacia leptocarpa (wattle). The shrub layer is sparse and often contains Coelospermum reticulatum (medicine bush), though in some instances a diverse mid layer can include Jacksonia thesioides, Acacia brassii, Livistona muelleri, Xylomelum scottianum, Melaleuca stenostachya and Acacia simsii. Themeda triandra (kangaroo grass) often dominates the grassy ground layer. Mainly occurs on acid volcanic hills and ranges. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 14c). |

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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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