2M Eucalyptus radiata subsp. radiata-E. piperita Open Forest
(2M) Eucalyptus radiata subsp. radiata-E. piperita Open Forest
This community is only known from a small number of easterly-facing slopes in Katoomba and Leura but may occur elsewhere in the higher Blue Mountains. The dominant canopy trees are Eucalyptus radiata**subsp.radiata (Narrow-leaved Peppermint) and E. piperita (Sydney Peppermint). E. sieberi is also present, particularly where this community grades into the common E. sieberi/E. piperita community which tends to occur upslope. E. manniferasubsp.**gullickii can occur infrequently, particularly downslope towards adjoining swamp or riparian vegetation.
The understorey is a mix of dry and wet sclerophyll species and may contain species associated with Blue Mountains Swamps where these communities adjoin. The following list is indicative of some of the species characteristic of this community.
