| Description | [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped as 3.10.5c. A tall semi-deciduous notophyll/microphyll vine thicket. The canopy varies from 18 to 30m with occasional emergents of Falcataria toona (red siris), Bombax ceiba (kapok) and Canarium australianum (scrub turpentine) up to 33m tall. Buchanania arborescens (native mango), Millettia pinnata (Millettia), Barringtonia calyptrata (cornbeef wood), Carallia brachiata (corkwood), Elaeocarpus arnhemicus (Arnhem land quandang), Mallotus philippensis (red camala) and Pleiogynium timorense (Burdekin plum) are frequent dominant trees. Miliusa traceyi, Drypetes deplanchei (yellow tulip) Memecylon pauciflorum, Aidia racemosa (wild randia) and Arytera bifoliolata (Cape coogara) occur commonly in the sparse shrub layer (0.5-4m tall). The ground layer is very sparse with a thick layer of leaf litter. Occurs on colluvial plains associated with sandstone hills. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 7b). |

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2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use.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