  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

Rye, An expanded circumscription and new classification ofRinzia (Chamelaucieae) 39 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 28: 39–93 Published online 20 January 2017 An expanded circumscription and new infrageneric classification of Rinzia (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae) Barbara L. Rye Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Abstract Rye, B.L. An expanded circumscription and new infrageneric classification of Rinzia (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae). Nuytsia 28: 39–93 (2017). The circumscription of Rinzia Schauer (Myrtaceae tribe Chamelaucieae DC.) is enlarged to encompass species with varied stamen arrangement, filament width and seed morphology. This revision of Rinzia s. lat. is based on both morphological and molecular evidence, and establishes five sections within the genus,Discolora Rye, Mesostemon Rye, Polyandra Rye, Semasperma Rye and the typical section. All sections occur in Western Australia, with three of them endemic to the south-west, while sect. Polyandra also occurs in central Australia and sect. Semasperma also occurs in south-eastern Australia. Three new combinations are made for species previously included within Baeckea L., and the new name R. orientalis Rye is published for B. crassifolia Lindl. Baeckea crassifolia var. icosandra F.Muell. ex Benth. is raised to species rank as R. icosandra (F.Muell. ex Benth.) Rye. The other new combinations are R. ericaea (F.Muell. ex Benth.) Rye and R. polystemonea (F.Muell.) Rye. Four new Western Australian species are described as R. fimbriolata Rye & Trudgen, R. medifila Rye, R. torquata Rye & Trudgen and R. triplex Rye & Trudgen, and a new subspecies from Kangaroo Island, South Australia, as R.

  • For Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft
    Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: PPEES-D-15-00109R1 Title: Bird pollinators, seed storage and cockatoo granivores explain large woody fruits as best seed defense in Hakea Article Type: Research paper Section/Category: Keywords: Black cockatoo; Crypsis; Fruit and seed size; Granivory; Resprouter; Spinescence Corresponding Author: Prof. Byron Lamont, Corresponding Author's Institution: Curtin University First Author: Byron Lamont Order of Authors: Byron Lamont; Byron Lamont; Mick Hanley; Philip Groom Abstract: Nutrient-impoverished soils with severe summer drought and frequent fire typify many Mediterranean-type regions of the world. Such conditions limit seed production and restrict opportunities for seedling recruitment making protection from granivores paramount. Our focus was on Hakea, a genus of shrubs widespread in southwestern Australia, whose nutritious seeds are targeted by strong-billed cockatoos. We assessed 56 Hakea species for cockatoo damage in 150 populations spread over 900 km in relation to traits expected to deter avian granivory: dense spiny foliage; large, woody fruits; fruit crypsis via leaf mimicry and shielding; low seed stores; and fruit clustering. We tested hypothesises centred on optimal seed defenses in relation to to a) pollination syndrome (bird vs insect), b) fire regeneration strategy (killed vs resprouting) and c) on-plant seed storage (transient vs prolonged). Twenty species in 50 populations showed substantial seed loss from cockatoo granivory. No subregional trends in granivore damage or protective traits were detected, though species in drier, hotter areas were spinier. Species lacking spiny foliage around the fruits (usually bird-pollinated) had much larger (4−5 times) fruits than those with spiny leaves and cryptic fruits (insect-pollinated).

  • Threatened Plants and Animals in Kakadu National Park: a Review and Recommendations for Management
    Threatened plants and animals in Kakadu National Park: a review and recommendations for management John Woinarski Project NHTKNP01 Report to Parks Australia North. September 2004. J.C.Z. Woinarski Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure Planning and Environment PO Box 496 Palmerston Northern Territory, 0831 Cover photograph: Arnhem rock-rat Zyzomys maini (photo: Greg Miles) SUMMARY This report comprises three main sections. The first section is an introduction that lists the currently recognised threatened plant and animal species that occur within Kakadu National Park; describes the process and criteria for listing; notes the substantial discrepancies in lists between the last comprehensive review of Kakadu’s threatened species (1995) and this report; and notes also the substantial discrepancy between national and Northern Territory listings for threatened species occurring in Kakadu. The second, and largest, section provides more specific information on each threatened species, noting in particular the status of each species within Kakadu National Park, as well as providing a broader conservation and management context. The third section collates information on management and threats across the set of threatened species, and draws research and management priorities for Kakadu National Park. The species occurring in Kakadu National Park that are listed as threatened under national and/or Northern Territory legislation are tabulated below. The current listing comprises a total of 16 plant species (of which 6 are listed at national level) and 31 animal species (of which 16 are listed at national level). An additional plant species has been nominated to be added at the next revision of the NT list. Information is also presented on four threatened plant species with records from near Kakadu, and considered reasonably likely to occur within Kakadu.

  • Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
    LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.

  • Ecology of Proteaceae with Special Reference to the Sydney Region
    951 Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region P.J. Myerscough, R.J. Whelan and R.A. Bradstock Myerscough, P.J.1, Whelan, R.J.2, and Bradstock, R.A.3 (1Institute of Wildlife Research, School of Biological Sciences (A08), University of Sydney, NSW 2006; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2522; 3Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW 1481) Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region. Cunninghamia 6(4): 951–1015. In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of animals and other organisms, and show distinctive patterns of distribution in relation to soils, climate and geological history. These patterns of distribution, relationships with nutrients and other resources, interactions with animals and other organisms and dynamics of populations in Proteaceae are addressed in this review, particularly for the Sydney region. The Sydney region, with its wide range of environments, offers great opportunities for testing general questions in the ecology of the Proteaceae. For instance, its climate is not mediterranean, unlike the Cape region of South Africa, south- western and southern Australia, where much of the research on plants of Proteaceae growing in infertile habitats has been done. The diversity and abundance of Proteaceae vary in the Sydney region inversely with fertility of habitats. In the region’s rainforest there are few Proteaceae and their populations are sparse, whereas in heaths in the region, Proteaceae are often diverse and may dominate the canopy.

  • Backhousia Citriodora F. Muell. (Lemon Myrtle), an Unrivalled Source of Citral
    foods Review Backhousia citriodora F. Muell. (Lemon Myrtle), an Unrivalled Source of Citral Ian Southwell Plant Science, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW 2480, Australia; [email protected] Abstract: Lemon oils are amongst the highest volume and most frequently traded of the flavor and fragrance essential oils. Citronellal and citral are considered the key components responsible for the lemon note with citral (neral + geranial) preferred. Of the myriad of sources of citral, the Australian myrtaceous tree, Lemon Myrtle, Backhousia citriodora F. Muell. (Myrtaceae), is considered superior. This review examines the history, the natural occurrence, the cultivation, the taxonomy, the chemistry, the biological activity, the toxicology, the standardisation and the commercialisation of Backhousia citriodora especially in relation to its essential oil. Keywords: Backhousia citriodora; lemon myrtle; lemon oils; citral; geranial; neral; iso-citrals; citronellal; flavor; fragrance; biological activity 1. Introduction There are many natural sources of lemon oil or lemon scent. According to a recent ISO Strategic Business Plan [1], the top production of lemon oils comes from lemon (7500 Citation: Southwell, I. Backhousia tonne), Litsea cubeba (1700 tonne), citronella (1100 tonne) and Eucalyptus (now Corymbia) citriodora F. Muell. (Lemon Myrtle), citriodora (1000 tonne). Lemon oil itself, cold pressed from the peel of Citrus limon L., an Unrivalled Source of Citral. Foods Rutaceae, contains 2–3% of citral (geranial + neral) [2–4], the lemon flavor ingredient. 2021, 10, 1596. https://doi.org/ Consequently, the oil, along with numerous other citrus species, is used more for its high 10.3390/foods10071596 limonene (60–80%) and minor component content as a fragrance, health care additive [5] or solvent rather than a citral lemon flavor.
