that are not listed under the EPBC Act (Table 10). See Map 10 for an illustration of the number of threatened plant species occurring within each park and reserve in the Norfolk Island Group. For distribution of individual plant species see the species profiles in Part 6.
Norfolk Island has a relatively diverse and prolific lichen assemblage (Elix et al. 1992) with 190 taxa recorded (ABRS 2017). The areas of subtropical rainforest within the Norfolk Island National Park are the major habitat for lichens, and the higher, moister ridges support the greatest diversity of bryophytes on the island. Invasion of forested areas by woody weeds, particularly red guava (Psidium cattleyanum cattleyanum) and African olive (Olea europaea cuspidata), represents the major threat to lichen species; these two woody species and lantana (Lantana camara) are also a threat to the bryophytes (Elix & Streimann 1985).
