Sources and Acknowledgments
This list of plants identified on The Pinnacle Nature Reserve on this page had its origins in a list compiled mainly by fotpin member Rosemary Blemings based on the observations and work of many colleagues. It was augmented by the results of the extensive plant surveys carried out as part of fotpin's Native Grass Restoration Project in 2010-2011. We are also grateful to fotpin member Malcolm Fyfe for his efforts a few years ago by helping to make many of the species names in this list comply with the 2012 Australian Plant Census.
In 2019 a few species were added to the list from sightings reported on the Canberra Nature Map (CNM), but at that time the number of entries on the CNM was far fewer than on the list compiled by fotpin. Since then a large number of new species have been added by fotpin members and visitors through Canberra Nature Map.
Most of the photos that appear on this page were taken by Alison Milton and John Fitz Gerald, with a few by other fotpin members.
