Lineage
The vascular plant census was conducted in the Cumberland Plain core 1ha plot 2014. All vascular plants were recorded and identified to species. The species were identified by Drs Paul Rymer, Tony Haigh from WSU, and determined by the botanical identification service at the Herbarium of NSW (Barbara Wiecek, and Andrew Orme). Dead stems were not included. Botanical identification service at the Herbarium of NSW (Barbara Wiecek, and Andrew Orme) made voucher specimens of flowering and fruiting material in March and December 2014.
