There are a variety of orchids to be found propagated throughout the Reserve, one being the Greenhood orchid, another (shown in the picture) being the Donkey orchid which are easily recognizeable by the two large upright petals or ears protruding at the top of the flower.

Xanthorrhoea Minor (Grass Tree) is a smaller version of Xanthorrhoea Australis, and is very much a part of the Australian landscape. Their blackened trunks may branch once or twice to form compound heads, but more usually a single stem bears the skirt of long grass-like leaves up to 1 metre or more in length.

Prickly Tea-Tree - (Leptospermum species).
A very widespread and common shrub (not alpine, and rarely subalpine). Leaves sharply pointed, capsules with a domed top.

Brunonia australis or Blue Pincushion. Rosettes of silky hairy, spoon-shaped leaves from which the flower stalks 0.2-0.3m rise. Dense heads of small blue flowers in late spring-summer. For well drained light to heavy soils in part to full sun.

Fungi and mosses are some of the most important organisms, both in terms of their ecological and economic roles. By breaking down dead organic material, they continue the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems. In addition, most vascular plants could not grow without the symbiotic fungi, or mycorrhizae, that inhabit their roots and supply essential nutrients. Other fungi provide numerous drugs (such as penicillin and other antibiotics), foods like mushrooms, truffles and morels, and the bubbles in bread, champagne, and beer.
