Linda and Roger's Southwater Downs – Robertson Rainforest

Plant Species – Flowering Plants

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
  3. (Small) Flowering Plants (on this page). The distinction between flowering plants and small shrubs is somewhat arbitrary. We've separated vines into their own page, but we're arbitrarily including on this page the ferns and any 'cryptogams' that we identify – mosses, liverworts, lichen and algae, and even fungus. There are two tables:
  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)
