Habitat
Permanently and semi-permanently inundated depressions and billabongs in low-lying sites on semi-arid floodplains
Distribution
Scattered on the active floodplains of the Murray-Darling catchment extending to adjacent Murray floodplains in Vic and SA
Notes
A locally restricted but widespread group of assemblages, which occurs on more permanently inundated sites than Inland floodplain shrublands and woodlands, with which it shares limited floristic affinities. Not mapped separately from Inland floodplain shrublands in north-western NSW (Pickard & Norris 1994).
