PLANT SPECIES LIST: MT. MAJURA and MT. AINSLIE, CANBERRA Current version: 18th January 2016
Base data from Ingwersen, F; O. Evans & B. Griffiths. (1974). Vegetation of the Ainslie-Majura Reserve. Conservation Series No. 2. Department of the Capital Territory.
Re-organised, revised and updated by Michael Doherty (CSIRO), Waltraud Pix (Friends of Mt. Majura), Isobel Crawford (Australian National Herbarium) & Aaron Clausen.
Taxonomy consistent with Census of Plants of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT): Vascular Plants - Version 3.0 (May 2012).
Status is locally native except for: PE = Planted Exotic; WE = Weed Exotic; PN = Planted Non-local Native; WN = Weed Non-local Native.
(‘Planted’ status refers to individuals which are planted but not spreading; ‘Weed’ status refers to species reproducing in the wild).
subsp. = subspecies; ? = questionable status or identity; sp. aff. = having close affinities with i.e. similar but not quite the same; syn. = synonymous with i.e. most recent previous name, or alternative name; sens. lat. = in the broad sense of the species concept; var. = variety; sp. = species i.e. identity yet to be finalised; spp. = species in the plural i.e. more than one species. Species occurrence checking (ü) currently focused on Mt. Majura rather than Mt. Ainslie. Species in BLUE are old reports not yet confirmed for Mt. Majura or Mt. Ainslie (therefore no tick next to name at present). Some species marked in GREEN have been seen by ‘Wednesday Walkers’ but need to formally confirm whether on Mt. Majura or Mt. Ainslie or both due to identity queries (therefore no tick next to name at present).
