native elements, or which otherwise provide opportunities for restoration of vegetation, are likely to be important in supporting recovery (refer to the species profiles in Part 6 for more detailed information about the range and habitat requirements of individual species).

Anson Bay Reserve b c                                                                   * Cordyline obtecta                                                        * White tern                                                       The reserve includes coastal cliffs, steep slopes and Anson Bay beach. Coastal vegetation is found on the cliffs, with good quality pine and white oak forest in the south and beach vegetation behind the beach in the north (Coastal Pine and White Oak Forest and Sandy Beach Herbland).
                                                                                        * Dysoxylum bijugum                                                        * Wedge-tailed shearwater                                          The reserve contains some of the most intact coastal forest left on Norfolk Island at the far southern end of the reserve, which also extends into the adjoining Selwyn Reserve and private land.
                                                                                        * Meryta latifolia                                                         * Red-tailed tropicbird                                            The coastal cliffs provide important breeding habitat for seabirds.
                                                                                        * Myrsine ralstoniae                                                       * Norfolk Island golden whistler

Anson Point Nesting Ground c d                                                          * None                                                                     * Wedge-tailed shearwater                                          Anson Point supports a large colony of wedge‑tailed shearwaters. There is little native forest cover and the dominant vegetation is kikuyu (Cenchrus clandestinus) grasslands.
Ball Bay Reserve (including what was formerly known as Bucks Point Reserve b c)         * Cordyline obtecta                                                        * White tern                                                       Lowland valley hardwood forest and sheltered coastal forest. The reserve incorporates small areas of coastal forest and valuable habitat for many threatened species and nesting seabirds. However, much of the forest is infested with woody weeds.
                                                                                        * Euphorbia norfolkiana                                                                                                                       In the western end of the reserve is a small gully containing a population of Critically Endangered Euphorbia norfolkiana (Norfolk Island euphorbia). The reserve also supports the only known population of the native fern Dicranopteris linearis on the island.
                                                                                        * Melicytus ramiflorus subsp. oblongifolius
                                                                                        * Muehlenbeckia australis

                                                                                        * Senecio australis
                                                                                        * Streblus pendulinus

The understorey of this coastal forest is much less weedy than at many other locations and there is regeneration of pines where they are protected from cattle grazing.
                                                                                        * Pteris kingiana                                                          * White tern
Bumbora Reserve and adjoining areas b c (Creswell Bay area)                             * Cordyline obtecta                                                        * White tern                                                       The reserve is one of three known populations of the Norfolk Island euphorbia.
