| Description | [RE not in use]²: History of this RE is unknown. Notophyll rainforest, characterised by Acacia cincinnata, A. polystachya and A. celsa. Typical species include Acacia celsa, A. cincinnata, A. polystachya, Alphitonia whitei, Alstonia muelleriana, A. scholaris, Argyrodendron polyandrum.

| Comments | 7.11.11: With increasing dryness such as in the China Camp-Bloomfield-Cooktown region, additional Acacia species (e.g. A. oraria and A. leptocarpa) become more frequent. Mainly confined to the Thornton Range area north of the Daintree River. This regional ecosystem type is a result of past cyclonic disturbance. |
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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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.
