Native vegetation areas
Point Ormond Reserve has high, local, ecological significance with thirty-nine plant species. All are indigenous to the region, contributing to the City's biodiversity. The proximity of the Coastal Dune Scrub to the CBD makes it one of the last, surviving, indigenous remnants in urban, Melbourne. Five regionally significant species are present:
- Allocasurina vertillicata (Drooping Sheoak)
- Alyxia buxifolia (Sea Box)
- Corra alba (White Correa)
- Myoporum insulare (Common Boobialla)
- Olearia axillaris (Coast Daisy-bush).
