4.0 THE DIVERSITY OF TREE SPECIES

Seventeen original native tree species were recorded in the Study Area. They are listed below with the symbol used to identify each species on the maps in this report:-

Angophora costata (Sydney Red Gum)

Angophora floribunda (Rough-barked Apple)

Angophora bakeri (Narrow-leaved Apple)

Allocasuarina torulosa (Forest Oak)

Eucalyptus capitellata (Brown Stringybark)

Eucalyptus fibrosa (Broad-leaved Ironbark)

Eucalyptus globoidea (White Stringybark)

Eucalyptus gummifera (Red Bloodwood)

Eucalyptus haemastoma (Scribbly Gum)

Eucalyptus maculata (Spotted Gum)

Eucalyptus paniculata (Grey Ironbark)

Eucalyptus pilularis (Blackbutt)

Eucalyptus piperita (Sydney Peppermint)

Eucalyptus punctata (Grey Gum)

Eucalyptus resinifera (Red Mahogany)

Eucalyptus tereticornis (Forest Red Gum)

Syncarpia glomulifera (Turpentine)

Prior to the undertaking of this survey, the presence of three of these tree species in the Study Area was not known to the author of this report, despite many years of tree observation in the local area. Consequently, there is every likelihood that additional species may be found, in the coming years, on private property not accessible during this survey. The author would welcome opportunities to inspect such land and to identify trees for landholders.
