Bosistoa transversa is a small tree with dark brown smooth bark, with horizontal wrinkles and irregular blisters. Bosistoa transversa grows in wet sclerophyll forest, dry sclerophyll forest and rainforest up to 300 m in altitude. (Queensland Herbarium 2012). Bosistoa transversa is known from the Richmond River, NSW, to Mt Larcom near Gladstone, Queensland. Ooline is a tree growing to 10m (rarely to 25m) with dark, hard and scaly bark. Ooline occurs in a range of vegetation types including semi- evergreen vine thicket, brigalow-belah, poplar box and bendee communities. Ooline often occurs on the edges of sandstone and basalt escarpments, 200 to 500 m above sea level. In most areas of its range, ooline grows on the moderately fertile soils preferred for agriculture and pasture development. (Pollock 1999; DEWHA 2008). Ooline was once widespread in the bottle tree-dominated softwood scrubs, brigalow and belah communities of central and southern Queensland and north-western New South Wales. It is now restricted in distribution from near Duaringa west of Rockhampton to the NSW border in Queensland, and on the western edge of the North West Slopes north of Gunnedah in northern New South Wales. (DEWHA 2008; Herbrecs 2008) Capparis humistrata is a spreading shrub to 1.5m tall. The twigs are slender and covered in dense hairs to 1mm long. It has straight, needle- like spines that are 6-8mm long. Capparis humistrata grows in eucalypt woodland with a shrubby understorey, on stony hard ridges and serpentinite soil. It also occurs on the margins of brigalow forest on sandy soil. (Hewson 1982). Capparis humistrata is endemic to central-eastern Queensland, between Marlborough and Bouldercombe. It is also recorded further north near Dingo in central Queensland. (Hewson 1982; Herbrecs 2008) Cerbera dumicola is a shrub or small tree growing to 4 m high. The species has white latex, and the foliage and inflorescence are glabrous. The bark is light grey, fissured longitudinally and somewhat scaly on taller plants (Forster, 1992). Cerbera dumicola occurs across a range of habitats in central and southern Queensland. Associated vegetation and species include: sandstone hills in open E. umbra subsp. carnea ; on plateaus, in woodland of Acacia shirleyi with Corymbia dolichocarpa ; acidic soils in mine rehabilitation area; woodland of A. catenulata and A. shirleyi with E. thozetiana on a slope of sand/clay soil. Cerbera dumicola is known from 37
