| Short description | Corymbia gilbertensis, Acacia meiosperma, Cochlospermum gregorii, Melaleuca viridiflora, A. leptostachya in mixed woodlands to shrublands on lateritised Tertiary sandstone hills. |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Mixed woodland to shrubland, including combinations of the species Corymbia gilbertensis, Acacia meiosperma, Cochlospermum gregorii, Melaleuca viridiflora, A. leptostachya, Corymbia polycarpa, M. stenostachya, Petalostigma banksii, Gardenia vilhelmii, A. shirleyi, Bossiaea armitii, Brachychiton paradoxus, Macropteranthes montana. The ground layer is commonly Aristida dominii, Polycarpaea corymbosa and Rhynchospora pterochaeta. Small areas of grassland/herbland and bare rock occur. Occurs on crests and slopes of lateritised, Tertiary sandstone hills. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 12b). |
| Protected areas | Bulleringa NP |
| Special values | 2.7.11: Supports plant species with restricted geographic ranges, including Macropteranthes montana (V). |
| Fire management guidelines | INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Burn in association with surrounding landscape. Do not target with fire. ISSUES: Typically sparse ground layer that would not support fire. Mostly bare rock. |
| Comments | 2.7.11: Previously mapped as 2.7.1x5. |
