Complex: 0 = S. tarsalis, 1 = S. meadfootii, 2 = S. tasmanicus. Altitude: preferred altitude range, 0 = < 500 m, 1 = 500 – 1000 m, 2 = > 1000 m. Habitat: 0 = rheophilic, 1 = eurytopic, 2 = acidophilic. Climate: according to the dominating climate variables in the ENM, 0 = cool summers, 1 = cool winters, 2 = wet winters. *: Also occurs in habitats with moderate salinity. **: Actual altitudinal range is 200 – 1550 m.
