Abstract :

A vegetation survey of the Cocoparra National Park and Cocoparra Nature Reserve completed in 1992-96 was partially repeated during 2004 and 2005 with 26 of the original sites being re-surveyed. Cryptogams were collected in the 2004-05 surveys and some soil analyses were completed. Sites surveyed covered 14 of the 16 vegetation units in the area. Two hundred and eight vascular plants were recorded and included 43 introduced species. These numbers compared well with those of the earlier surveys; 41 species recorded in the 2004-05 survey were not recorded in the earlier survey and 48 species recorded in the 1992-96 survey were not found in the later survey. Twenty-three mosses, 13 liverworts and hornworts and 47 lichens were recorded in the 200405 survey.
