Note—
In this Schedule some scientific names appear in either italics or bold and italics. Bold italics are used to denote rare, endangered or dominant species.
Significant vegetation communities, for the purposes of this plan, consist of the following naturally occurring plant communities in the City’s area. These communities are based on the plant species composition, which is influenced by the specific topographic and edaphic (soil) characteristics present in the areas in which they grow. The structural formation of the plant communities follows the classification of Specht et al. (1974), cited in item 8 (References) of this Schedule. Descriptions of the vegetation communities in this Schedule have, in part, been adapted from Keith and Benson (1988), Smith and Smith (1998) and Douglas (2001) also cited in item 8.
