Giant Stinging Tree @ western limit in NSW

From Mt. Kaputar N...">


Dendrocide excelsa

This species and other plants in dry rainforest pockets of the Mount Kaputar region are at risk of becoming locally extinct; through impact from fires, feral goats and long periods of drought. Three mature and fertile Giant Stinging Trees were found at this location but no recruitment seeedlings are present at this western limit of distribution of the species.
An explorative walk to a known record form 1994 confirmed the continued survival of at least three individuals.




Celastrus subspicata

Large-leaved Staff Vine occurs here at a western limit, this individual is possible a new most western record.
