Description

A low, dense form of dry rainforest generally less than 10 m high, made up of vines and rainforest trees as well as some shrubs. This community often stands out as a bright green against surrounding woodland due to many species having bright-coloured leaves. The main canopy is dominated by rainforest species such as Red Olive Plum (Cassine australis var. angustifolia), Wilga (Geijera parvifolia) Native Olive (Notelaea microcarpa var. microcarpa) and Peach Bush (Ehretia membranifolia), with taller eucalypts and cypress pines from surrounding woodland vegetation emerging above the main canopy. Currant Bush (Carissa ovata) is often present and typical vines include Gargaloo (Parsonsia eucalytophylla) and Wonga Vine (Pandorea pandorana). In order to meet the definition of the TEC sites must satisfy condition criteria stipulated in the Listing Advice and/or Conservation Advice. Typically condition is assessed by reference to patch size and vegetation structure thresholds or species composition metrics.
