Bunhybee Grasslands is a 49 hectare / 120 acre conservation property 35km south
of Braidwood, in southern N.S.W.
You can follow through the internal links, or you may find it easier to use
the Site-Map.
Lists of the plant species found on the property have been broken into:
Here is a printable Species Lists for all categories, and here's a printable Species Lists for Grasses only.
We've defined 'grass' broadly, pragmatically, and partly wrongly, by including:
Within this page, for Grasses, there are two tables:
Here are our photos of grasses on the property.
Here are the References we've used in building up this information.
The botanists continually breed confusion by changing names of genera and species. We've adopted a pragmatic approach, using whichever name we find to be commonly understood. We're gradually building in alternatives, identifying them as aka (also known as), pka (previously known as) and nka (now known as).
Legend:
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.
Cross-Hatch (#): Species added by us to the list originally provided by NCT
FC = Frequency Code / Abundance: Rp/c = rare patches or clumps < 3 patches with < 10 plants per patch, R = Rare at site (< 3 plants), O = Occasional (<5% cover), Ip/c = intermittent patches or clumps, I = intermittent/subdominant, F = frequent/dominant
Name-Links are to whatever looks useful.
