Linda and Roger's Southwater Downs – Robertson Rainforest

Plant Species – Vines


This is a page within Roger and Linda's Southwater Downs Web-Site.

Southwater Downs is an 8-acre property on the escarpment 4km east of Robertson, in southern N.S.W. 3 acres are Robertson (lilli pilli) rainforest, and subject to a Conservation Agreement.


Lists of the plant species found on the property have been broken into:

  1. Trees and Shrubs
  2. Vines (on this page), by which we mean plants that climb, twine or creep on a supporting plant or structure. Separating vines from Flowering Plants may be botanistically dubious, but it's pragmatic and, for a conservation land-owner, useful. There are two tables:
  3. (Small) Flowering Plants
  4. Grasses

Here are the References we've used in building up this information.


Legend:

Italics: The species is stated in a relevant source (especially REPS) to be present in Robertson Rainforest, but we have yet to confirm their presence in our segment.

Bold Font: Species that are threatened (Vulnerable or Endangered under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 or the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999)

Asterisk (*) and Bold Font: Species that are noxious or environmental weeds.

Photo-Links are to: our own photos (Us), the Australian Plant Image Index (APII), the Bega Valley Plant Index (Bega), and the International Environmental Weed Foundation (IEWF).
