Acacia Cochlearis RIGID WATTLE (Labill.) H.L.Wendl
Plants of the West Coast family: fabaCeae Acacia cochlearis RIGID WATTLE (Labill.) H.L.Wendl Flowering period: July–October. Description: Bushy, erect to sprawling shrub, 0.5–3 m high and found as solitary plants or in thickets. Leaves to 45 mm long with a sharp point, rigid, with prominent parallel veins. Flower heads globular with up to three produced in each leaf axil. The green-brown pod is flat, to 50 mm long, and produces 10–15 black and usually highly viable seeds. Pollination: Open pollinated by a wide variety of non-specific insects. Sets a moderate amount of seed in good seasons. Distribution: From Lancelin to Israelite Bay where the species grows as solitary plants or in thickets in coastal to near-coastal habitats. Along the coast the species favours stable secondary dunes. Often an indicator of good quality dunes as the species is vulnerable to disturbance. Propagation: Grow from seed collected in December when pods mature. Seed should be hot water treated or lightly abraded with fine sandpaper. Sow in a free-draining soil mix and keep moist. Seedling growth may benefit from incorporation of a little soil taken from the weed- and disease-free soil surface around a parent plant to ensure transfer of the Rhizobium bacteria that are important in nitrogen nutrition of the plant. R. Barrett Habit Uses in restoration: A useful species that reliably establishes in stabilised soil. Must be protected from direct exposure to high winds and is best incorporated into mixed plantings with other shrubs including Acacia rostellifera and Scaevola crassifolia. -
Conservation Advice: Acacia Meiantha
THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this conservation advice and included this species in the Endangered category, effective from 11/05/2018. Conservation Advice Acacia meiantha Summary of assessment Conservation status Acacia meiantha has been found to be eligible for listing in the Endangered category, as outlined in the attached assessment. Reason for conservation assessment by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee This advice follows assessment of information provided by New South Wales as part of the Common Assessment Method process, to systematically review species that are inconsistently listed under the EPBC Act and relevant state/territory legislation or lists. More information on the Common Assessment Method is available at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/cam The information in this assessment has been compiled by the relevant state/territory government. In adopting this assessment under the EPBC Act, this document forms the Approved Conservation Advice for this species as required under s266B of the EPBC Act. Public consultation Notice of the proposed amendment and a consultation document was made available for public comment for 32 business days between 16 August 2017 and 29 September 2017. Any comments received that were relevant to the survival of the species were considered by the Committee as part of the assessment process. Recovery plan A recovery plan for this species under the EPBC Act is not recommended, because the approved Conservation Advice provides sufficient direction to implement priority actions and mitigate against key threats. The relevant state/territory may decide to develop a plan under its equivalent legislation. -
Botanical Name. Acacia
Botanical name Acacia colletioides Benth., London J. Bot. 1: 336 (1842) The botanical name is derived from Colletia (a genus in the family Rhamnaceae) and the Greek suffix -oides (like). Some species referred to Colletia have a resemblance to the spiny, rigid foliage of this Acacia. Common names Wait-a-while, Pin-bush, Spine Bush. Characteristic features Large, prickly, much-branched shrubs. Phyllodes +/- terete, sessile, rigid, straight to shallowly curved, widely spreading, finely 8-nerved (with a distinct inter-nerve space between each nerve), narrowed to needle-like points. Heads sub-globular on short peduncles. Pods strongly curved to openly coiled or twisted. Seeds black and 2/3 sheathed by a conspicuous, orange or yellow aril. Description Habit. Harsh, rigid, prickly, much-branched, dense, rounded, usually multi-stemmed shrubs (0.5)1-3 m tall and about the same across, maturing to single-stemmed small trees 3-4 m tall with a dense canopy occupying 50% of the total plant height, in open sites (e.g. roadverges) it grows as a domed plant with the canopy extending to ground level, in dense vegetation it can grow as a small, erect plant with spindly stems and non-spreading crowns (however, these forms are not common in the Kalannie region). Branchlets. Glabrous or sparsely hairy, scarred where phyllodes have fallen. Phyllodes. More or less terete, sessile, inserted on distinct, yellow stem projections, 1.5-3(-4) cm long, 1-1.5 mm in diameter, rigid, widely spreading, straight to shallowly curved, green, glabrous; longitudinal nerves 8, widely spaced and distinct; apices narrowed to rigid, needle-like points. -

FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve
FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve This project was supported by NACC NRM and the Shire of Morawa through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program Canna Reserve BioBlitz 2019 Weaving and wonder in the wilderness! The weather may have been hot and dry, but that didn’t stop everyone having fun and learning about the rich biodiversity and conservation value of the wonderful Canna Reserve during the highly successful 2019 BioBlitz. On the 14 - 15 September 2019, NACC NRM together with support from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions and the Shire of Morawa, hosted their third BioBlitz at the Canna Reserve in the Shire of Morawa. Fifty professional biologists and citizen scientists attended the event with people travelling from near and far including Morawa, Perenjori, Geraldton and Perth. After an introduction and Acknowledgement of Country from organisers Jessica Stingemore and Jarna Kendle, the BioBlitz kicked off with participants separating into four teams and heading out to explore Canna Reserve with the goal of identifying as many plants, birds, invertebrates, and vertebrates as possible in a 24 hr period. David Knowles of Spineless Wonders led the invertebrate survey with assistance from, OAM recipient Allen Sundholm, Jenny Borger of Jenny Borger Botanical Consultancy led the plant team, BirdLife Midwest member Alice Bishop guided the bird survey team and David Pongracz from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions ran the vertebrate surveys with assistance from volunteer Corin Desmond. The BioBlitz got off to a great start identifying 80 plant species during the first survey with many more species to come and even a new orchid find for the reserve. -

MVG 16 Acacia Shrublands DRAFT
MVG 16 - ACACIA SHRUBLANDS Acacia hillii, Tanami Desert, NT (Photo: D. Keith) Overview The overstorey of MVG 16 is dominated by multi-stemmed acacia shrubs. The most widespread species is Acacia aneura (mulga). Mulga vegetation takes on a variety of structural expressions and is consequently classified partly within MVG 16 where the overstorey is dominated by multi-stemmed shrubs, partly within MVG 6 in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol definition of forest cover in Australia (trees > 2 m tall and crown cover > 20%, foliage projective cover > 10%); and partly within MVG 13 where the woody dominants are predominantly single-stemmed, but with crown cover less than 20%. Occurs where annual rainfall is below 250mm in southern Australia and below 350mm in northern Australia (Hodgkinson 2002; Foulkes et al. 2014). Species composition varies along rainfall gradients, with substrate and rainfall seasonality (Beadle 1981; Johnson and Burrows 1994). Transitions into MVG 13 Acacia woodlands with higher rainfall and varying soil types. Is most commonly found on red earth soils (Hodgkinson 2002).
