===Flora=== There is a diverse range of flora in the national park, suited to many different habitats due to the wide variance of different habitats and conditions present.<ref name=parks2004 /><ref name=eberhard2000 /> Forested areas are dominated by brown-top stringybark (''Eucalyptus obliqua''), white-top stringybark (''E. delegatensis''), swamp gum (''E. regnans''), black gum (''E. ovata''), white gum (''E. viminalis''), black peppermint (''E. amygdalina'') and silver wattle (''Acacia dealbata''), while the underbrush of the forests is mainly shrubby.<ref name=parks2004 /> Some of the national park has been affected by its surrounding rural environment, as blocks of flora have been modified by fire regimes and grazing on private land. Due to this some of the more burnt areas are open and dominated by sedges and ferns.<ref name=parks2004 /> There are many sinkholes present in areas of the national park, and many of these are associated with ''Sphagnum'' peatlands that are found scattered amongst eucalyptus forests.<ref name=parks2004 /> The following list of flora species, located in the Mole Creek Karst National Park are considered by the ''Threatened Species Protection Act 1995'' (Tas), to be vulnerable and rare respectively.<ref name=parks2004 /> *''Acacia mucronata var. dependens'' (Variable sallow wattle) '''Rare''' *''Glycine microphylla'' (small-leaf glycine) '''Vulnerable''' *''Desmodium gunni'' (slender tick trefoil) '''Vulnerable''' *''Pimelea pauciflora'' (Poison rice flower) '''Rare''' *''Epacris exserta'' (South Esk heath) '''Vulnerable''' *''Pomaderris phylicifolia subsp. Phylicifolia'' (Narrow leaf pomaderris) '''Rare''' South Esk heath (''Epacris exserta'') is also determined by the ''Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999'' to be endangered.<ref name=parks2004 />
