VEGETATION OF WILROY NATURE RESERVE

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years ago

Introduction: Wilroy Nature Reserve lies on the border between the Irwin district of the South Western Botanical Province and the Austin District of the Eremaean Province (refer Grieve and Blackall [1975] for modification of Gardner and Bennetts [1956] map). The vegetation of the Reserve, however, most resembles that of the Avon district, but has some components of the Irwin district.

Abbreviated vegetation descriptions are presented in Appendix 1 and sample locations are illustrated on Map 1. Full descriptions of the vegetation following the format presented in Muir (1977a) have been lodged in the Archives of the Western Australian Museum; details are available on request from the Librarian. Species found at some locations are listed in Appendix 2 and family distribution of plant species in Appendix 3.
