Vegetation associated with Wollemia nobilis (Araucariaceae)

  • Wollemia nobilis Jones et al. (Wollemi Pine) is restricted to four sites growing in warm temperate rainforest typical of the canyons in the Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Parks. 88 vascular plant species were recorded from four sites. The tree canopy at all sites is dominated by Wollemia nobilis, Ceratopetalum apetalum, Doryphora sassafras and Acmena smithii. A large number of fern and vine species dominate the forest floor. Site 1 contains more species than the other sites, possibly due to its diversity of topographic features. Similarity analysis indicates that sites 2 and 3 are the most similar and sites 1 and 4 are least similar in floristic composition. 54% of plant species were recorded at one site only. Ceratopetalum apetalum, Blechnum cartilagineum and Wollemia nobilis were found to contribute most to the similarity between sites.
