Description [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped as 3.12.43. Melaleuca viridiflora (broad-leaved paperbark), together with Welchiodendron longivalve (yellow box-penda), dominates the sparse canopy (4-8m tall).

A sparse shrub layer (0.5-2m tall) is present with Alyxia spicata, Indigofera pratensis, Petalostigma pubescens (quinine) and Xanthorrhoea johnsonii (grass-tree) dominant in some areas. The ground layer is sparse and dominated by graminoids. Eulalia mackinlayi, Eremochloa bimaculata and Cleistochloa sclerachne are locally dominant. Occurs on ridge crests. Not a Wetland.

Comments 3.12.27: Iron Range area.

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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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