Editing Taunton National Park (section)

===Flora===
The reserve supports a wide diversity of flora, with over 190 species recorded.<ref name=DERM />  Typical brigalow communities which are found in the park include; grassy and shrubby woodlands or open forests, whipstick brigalow, sucker brigalow, and open forests where ''A. harpophylla'' and another species such as yellow-wood, belah or various ''Eucalyptus spp.'' dominate.<ref name=Rediscovery />   Endangered plant species protected inside the park include the ''[[Solanaceae]] Solanum adenophorum'' and the ''Solanaceae Solanum elachophyllum''.<ref name=DERM />  In addition to these, another two species have been identified as 'near threatened'; the ''Apocynaceae Cerbera dumicola'' and the ''Poaceae Dichanthium setosum''.<ref name=DERM />

Dense acacia forests or 'brigalow scrub' encompass 30% of the parks area, with species typical of the endangered Brigalow shrubland/forest ecosystem described previously, or can include combinations of ''A. harpophylla'' with dawson gum or poplar box.<ref name=wallabydiet1 />  The most dominant vegetation association, covering 39% of the parks area, is the grassy eucalypt woodlands which are dominated by poplar box in combination with the silver-leaved ironbark (''[[E. melanophloia]]''), the narrow-leaved ironbark, (''[[E. crebra]]''), the long-fruited bloodwood (''[[E. polycarpa]]'') and the grey box (''[[E. moluccana]]'').<ref name=wallabydiet1 /><ref name=Rediscovery />  The transitional zones between the Acacia dominated forests and Eucalpyt dominated woodlands are composed of combinations of characteristics particular to each ecosystem type, and only contribute to 14% of the parks total area.<ref name=wallabydiet1 />  The remaining land was previously cleared and is undergoing natural regeneration, primarily by ''A. harpophylla''.<ref name=wallabydiet1 />
