Boronia Park Plants - Part 1
Orchids, Ferns, Grasses, Lilies, Sedges, Grass Tree Family and Climbers
This list was first compiled by the National Trust in
the early 1990s. It has since been greatly added to over the years
by Rae Mashford who has also compiled a photographic record of all
species listed. Sadly, Boronia ledifolia after which the
park was named, is all but extinct within the Park, probably due to
rabbits. The list is current to 28 April 2002.
The fungi list was supplied by the Sydney Fungal Studies Group
Inc. in June 2002.
