| Description | [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped as 3.5.42. Melaleuca viridiflora (broad-leaved paperbark) dominates the sparse canopy (10-18m tall). Eucalyptus tetrodonta (Darwin stringybark), Asteromyrtus brassii and M. stenostachya (fibre-barked teatree) are subdominant in the canopy. Scattered Banksia dentata (tropical banksia), M. stenostachya and Neofabricia myrtifolia (yellow teatree) are present as sub-canopy trees (4-6m tall). A sparse shrub layer (0.5-1.5m tall) is present, with Hibbertia spp., Acacia flavescens (powder puff wattle), M. viridiflora and Asteromyrtus lysicephala (back to front bush) occurring at the highest densities. The ground layer is sparse, and dominated by the graminoids, Schoenus sparteus, Dianella pavopennacea var. major and Lomandra spp. Occurs on flat sandplains. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 21a). |

1 Estimated extent is from version 13 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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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.
