148067PD: Eucalyptus transcontinentalis, Melaleuca undulata, Wongan Hills, Western Australia, ca. 1965-1984.

Summary

Book caption: The Wongan Hills near the township of that name are botanically interesting in a number of ways and have been written up in a Field Naturalists Club handbook. From the point of view of vegetation they are interesting in being one of the few localities where kwongan occurs other than on a sandplain. The slopes shown here are covered, apart from the scattered trees of Eucalyptus transcontinentalis, by shrubland of Melaleuca undulata as virtually the sole species. This community may be compared with that in the Moresby Range near Geraldton (Fig 3.94) where Melaleuca megacephala is the principal species and again represents kwongan on hill slopes.
