5C Pagoda Rock Complex
(5C) Pagoda Rock Complex
Within the City, this community occurs only in the far northwest near Bell. It occurs primarily outside the City on the Newnes Plateau where it is exemplified in Gardens of Stone National Park.
Benson and Keith (1990) list three structural divisions within this Complex: open heath of Allocasuarina nana, Leptospermum arachnoides, Lepidosperma viscidum, Platysace lanceolata and Banksia ericifolia; open mallee scrub of Eucalyptus laophila; and woodland of E. sieberi (Silvertop Ash), E. piperita (Sydney Peppermint) and E. oblonga (Sandstone Stringybark). This mosaic of communities intergrades with the higher altitude variant of Blue Mountains Heath.
The following species typically occur within this complex. Other species may also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community.
| Acacia dorothea | Acacia terminalis | Allocasuarina distyla | | Allocasuarina nana | Banksia ericifolia | Boronia microphylla | | Daviesia latifolia | Dillwynia retorta | Eucalyptus piperita | | Eucalyptus sclerophylla | Eucalyptus sieberi | Eucalyptus sparsifolia | | Hakea dactyloides | Lepidosperma viscidium | Leptospermum arachnoides | | Platysace lanceolata | | |
