Description | [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped as 3.12.39b. Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp mahogany) dominates the mid-dense canopy (9-11m tall). Eucalyptus crebra (narrow-leaved ironbark) and Acacia flavescens (powder puff wattle) are codominant. The shrub layer is mid-dense and ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 metres tall. Endiandra glauca (coach walnut) dominates this layer, with Litsea breviumbellata and Myrsine variabilis also occurring at high densities. The ground layer is very sparse, with the soil surface covered in leaf litter. Restricted to upper slopes of the Altanmoui Range. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 28e). |

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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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