FLOWER Mauve, Purple or white, with yellow centres FRUIT Burrs. (Typical of the burr-daisy group) MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT Once the plant is well established it requires little maintenance. It can be susceptible to weed grass growing up from its tuft and these should to be removed manually. Heavy mulching may lead to stunted growth so light mulch is all that is required. Native mulch is ideal or mulch with a large range of particle sizes (Warner, 2008). EXTRA NOTES Perennial self sowing native daisy for mixed native landscapes, verges and roundabouts. Prolific flowering for most of the year. Plant in low traffic areas as burrs stick to clothing and animals. Can be pruned to maintain bushy growth and flowering (Plant Selector, 2020). C O A S T A L 1 2 cymosa Billardiera FULL BOTANICAL NAME Billardiera cymosa GENUS Billardiera FAMILY Pittosporaceae COMMON NAME Sweet Apple Berry PLANT ORIGIN SA, Vic, NSW SIZE & FORM Medium Shrub (Usually between 1.2m & 3.6m) Height--1-2 m; Spread--1-4 m GROWTH HABIT Evergreen, Open foliage, Spreading, Climbing GROWING REGION 2nd line coast, Plains, Footslopes, Hills ASPECT AND CLIMATE Warm temperate, Cool temperate, Mediterranean, Cool SOIL REQUIREMENT Clay, loam and sand WATER REQUIREMENT Mininal DESIGN USE Ornamental and habitat FOLIAGE Dark-green FLOWER Golden yellow. Strongly scented. Globulor. FRUIT Apple berry. Sweet flavoured and purple-coloured. ATTRACTS WILDLIFE Seed eating birds, Lizards SPECIAL USES Edible, Decorative fruit, Playground friendly MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT Billardiera cymosa is frost hardy, but if the plant does become damaged from hard frost, it can be cut back and may resprout from the base. Drip irrigation is beneficial in dry times (Stewart, n.d.). EXTRA NOTES A non aggressive climber for parks and reserves, useful over fences or embankments amongst native vegetation. Will become shrubby if planted in open situations. Low allergen plant with decorative flowers. Cultural use: Indigenous peoples ate the fruit raw or sun-dried like sultanas (Plant Selector, 2020). C O A S T A L 3 4 viscosa ssp. angustissima ssp. viscosa Dodonaea FULL BOTANICAL NAME Dodonaea viscosa ssp. angustissima GENUS Dodonaea FAMILY Sapindaceae COMMON NAME Narrow-leaf Hop-bush PLANT ORIGIN SA, VIC, WA, NSW, Qld, NT, Africa, America, Asia SIZE & FORM Large Shrub (Usually exceeds 3.6m) Height--2-4 m; Spread--2-4 m GROWTH HABIT Erect to spreading, Multi-stemmed. Evergreen. GROWING REGION Desert dunes, Plains. North Western, Lake Eyre, Nullarbor, Gairdner-Torrens, Flinders Rangers, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Northern Lofty, Murray, Yorke Peninsula, Southern Lofty, Kangaroo Island and South Eastern (SA) ASPECT AND CLIMATE Narrow leaves are thought to be an adaptation to warmer, drier climate. High adaptive abilities to changes of climate. SOIL REQUIREMENT Clay, loam and sand WATER REQUIREMENT Mininal DESIGN USE Ornamental FOLIAGE Narrow elonggated shaped FLOWER Reddish-coloured. Inconspicuous FRUIT Colourful three-angled fruits MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT This species prefers well-drained soils and requires a well-lit area. It can tolerate part shade but the capsules will not be as spectacular in colour if shaded. This species can tolerate dry conditions and can also handle some frosts. Little maintenance is necessary. However, regular tip pruning will promote growth and branching (McDowell, 2007). EXTRA NOTES Good pollen source for moths, butterflies and other insects including colourful beetles. Foliage good refuge for small birds. Fruits and seeds are forage for native birds. Kangaroos and wallabies browse foliage. The early settlers used the bitter hops for making beer, so it was probably introduced to areas where it did not naturally occur and due to its weedlike habit, soon became well established (Woolshed Thirgoona Landcare, n.d.). C O A S T A L 5 6 labillardierI Poa FULL BOTANICAL NAME Poa labillardieri GENUS Poa FAMILY Gramineae COMMON NAME Common Tussock-grass PLANT ORIGIN SA SIZE & FORM Grass Sedge or Flax Height--0.5-1.3m; Spread--0.3-0.7m GROWTH HABIT Clumping GROWING REGION Hills, Footslopes, Plains, Watercourse Flinders Rangers, Eastern, Eyre Peninsula, Northern Lofty, Murray, Yorke Peninsula, Southern Lofty, Kangaroo Island, South Eastern (SA). ASPECT AND CLIMATE Plants tolerate drought and moderate frost. SOIL REQUIREMENT Clay, Loam, Sand WATER REQUIREMENT Mininal DESIGN USE Ornamental, habitats and erosion FOLIAGE Greyish-green or blue-green leaves, long and slender with rolled or flat blades. FLOWER Green. Spiked FRUIT / MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT Once established, Poa labillardieri needs very low maintenance and no irrigation. It regenerates well after burning but the fire should not be very hot for a long time. It does not appear have any major diseases or parasites. While it is not considered palatable as it can be damaged by grazing animals such as rabbits and kangaroos (Sharmeen, 2016). EXTRA NOTES An ornamental tufting perennial for mixed native landscapes, borders, and wider verges. Mass plant for effect. Rejuvenate by shearing to just above ground level during late winter, early spring. Attracts native butterflies, larval food source. Food source and habitat for small birds and lizards (Plant Selector, 2020). C O A S T A L 7 8 glaucescens Carpobrotus FULL BOTANICAL NAME Carpobrotus glaucescens GENUS Carpobrotus FAMILY Aizoaceae COMMON NAME Coastal Noonflower/Pigface PLANT ORIGIN QSL and NSW SIZE & FORM Groundcover Height--around 0.1m; Spread--2-3m GROWTH HABIT Prostrate and spreading GROWING REGION Coast, Coastal cliffs, Coastal dunes, Coastal footslopes ASPECT AND CLIMATE Plants tolerate drought and moderate frost. SOIL REQUIREMENT Gravel, Sand WATER REQUIREMENT Mininal DESIGN USE Ornamental, habitats and erosion. Sand stablizer. FOLIAGE Succulent, thick, fleshy, smooth leaves 3.5-10 cm x 1-1.5 cm, which are triangular in cross section. FLOWER Purple, open petalled FRUIT Edible. Red to purple, 20 - 30mm long. The fruit has a soft, wet pulp with the flavour of salty strawberries or fresh, juicy figs MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT Carpobrotus glaucescens will grow in most relatively well-drained positions in either full sun or partial shade; though an open sunny position is best. Pigface can also tolerate extended dry periods. Pigface is relatively pest free but may be attacked by scale insects in summer (Eeten, 2005). EXTRA NOTES Sand and soil binding plant for foreshores, embankments, coastal reserves and parks due to its high salt-tolerant feature. Showy displays of bright coloured flowers (Plant Selector, 2020). The plant produces a red-purple berry fruit, which was used by Aboriginal peoples as a food source. The flesh of the fruit is said to have a taste similar to salty apples. The roasted leaves have been used as a salt substitute. Early European explorers used the plant as an anti-scurvy treatment. The juice of the leaves can also be used to relieve pain from insect bites(Eeten, 2005). C O A S T A L 9 10 brownii Leucophyta FULL BOTANICAL NAME Leucophyta brownii GENUS Leucophyta FAMILY Asteraceae COMMON NAME Cushion Bush PLANT ORIGIN SA, Vic, Tas, WA SIZE & FORM Short-lived low shrub (Up to 1.2m) Height--0.4-1m; Spread--0.5-1.5m GROWTH HABIT Dense and rounded GROWING REGION Coast, Coastal cliffs, Coastal footslopes, Plains, 2nd line coast. Nullarbor, Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Southern Lofty, Kangaroo Island, South Eastern (SA) ASPECT AND CLIMATE Plants tolerate salty air and dry, poor soil. They grow most successfully in full sun, but may tolerate partial shade. SOIL REQUIREMENT Loam, Sand WATER REQUIREMENT None DESIGN USE Ornamental. They are often used to define walking paths in coastal areas, because they are easily seen at night. FOLIAGE Silvery/Cool toned green FLOWER Yellow button-like heads flower FRUIT Greyish-brown MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENT Well-drained sandy soil is ideal, but it can also grow in finer soil. It grows poorly in high humidity however, and will die easily if waterlogged, meaning it cannot grow in more tropical regions. Unless pruning is

    Government of South Australia Northern and Yorke Natural FACT SHEET NO 2.018 Resources Management Board September 2011 NRM Plan Native plant identification CONTACT In the Northern and Yorke Region Main Office Basic plant identification is a vital skill for Northern and Yorke NRM Board land managers. It assists in appreciating PO Box 175 the vegetation around you and managing 41-49 Eyre Road that vegetation. Does a plant belong on a Crystal Brook SA 5523 site or is it a weed? Ph: (08) 8636 2361 Fx: (08) 8636 2371 This fact sheet introduces some of the www.nynrm.sa.gov.au common plant groups of the Northern and Yorke Region and how to identify them. All living things have been categorized into what is known as the Linnaean System of classification. Plants are grouped using common attributes until each plant is given a unique Classification. The steps of Classification are: • Kingdom • Division • Class • Order • Family • Subfamily • Genus • Species This results in a unique Botanical or Scientific name consisting of Genus and Species. Some plants are further split into sub species. Most plants have at least one common name. These are non scientific and often vary from region to region. Some plants may have the same common name, this often causes confusion so it is important to use the Botanical name. The plants right would be referred to as Eucalyptus leucoxylon subspecies leucoxylon or the South Australian Blue Gum. This plant is known as Yellow Gum in Victoria.

Vegetation and flora of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve, lower North Coast of New South Wales. Cunninghamia 6(3): 645–715. The vegetation of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve on the lower North Coast of New South Wales has been classified and mapped from aerial photography at a scale of 1: 25 000. The plant communities so identified are described in terms of their composition and distribution within Booti Booti NP and Yahoo NR. The plant communities are also discussed in terms of their distribution elsewhere in south-eastern Australia, with particular emphasis given to the NSW North Coast where compatible vegetation mapping has been undertaken in many additional areas. Floristic relationships are also examined by numerical analysis of full-floristics and foliage cover data for 48 sites. A comprehensive list of vascular plant taxa is presented, and significant taxa are discussed. Management issues relating to the vegetation of the reserves are outlined. Introduction The study area Booti Booti National Park (1586 ha) and Yahoo Nature Reserve (48 ha) are situated on the lower North Coast of New South Wales (32°15'S 152°32'E), immediately south of Forster in the Great Lakes local government area (Fig.
