Wednesday Walk on a Mayfield Road Property – 28 September 2011 Wednesday Walk on a Mayfield Road Property – 28 September 2011 Mayfield Road runs off Cullulla Road not far from Tarago, NSW. We visited the property on a cold day in June then returned to see some spring flowers. The property is heavily wooded in parts but also has some grassland and a creek. We saw a great display of many Pomaderris elliptica in full flower, also the Pultenaea villifera was quite spectacular - a hillside of it. We also saw lots of Stypandra glauca, Rhytidosporum procumbens, Lissanthe strigosa and Leucopogon fraseri flowering and evidence of many Patersonia sericea and P. longifolia flowers and some spectacular Acacia decurrens just finishing. A highlight for the owner was the recording of 6 orchid species. We found many Petalochilus fuscatus flowering, a few P. carneus (just starting), some good patches of Pterostylis pedunculata, one Diuris pardina, some Microtis sp. leaves and some rosettes which we marked for checking when flowering.

  • The Bundanon Trust Properties Are Mapped by the NSW National Vegetation Survey As Supporting Over 14 Different Vegetation Communities
    4 FLORA The Bundanon Trust properties are mapped by the NSW National Vegetation Survey as supporting over 14 different vegetation communities. The Living Land- scape project incorporates many of these communities. Image: Bloodwood trees in blossom at Riversdale, February 2015 VEGETATION COMMUNITIES SUMMARY Groups of native plants that grow in association with each other on a specific soil type, being described as distinct “floristic assemblages”. These floristic assemblages provide an equally distinctive suite of native fauna species with their preferred habitat; when combined the flora, fauna and soil are considered to be an Ecological Community. Floristic assemblages are the framework around which Ecological Communities are defined. These assemblages are described with reference to the dominant plant species, usually trees, and the other vegetation strata which might include mid-storey, shrub, vine, groundcover and forb layers. Comprehensive floristic descriptions might also include fungi, mosses, and lichens; however, these are not presently considered in the “scientific determinations” or legal descriptions of the Ecological Communities made by the Department of Environment and Climate Change Scientific Committee. The floristic assemblages were mapped on site by the NSW Department of Environment and Conservation and the NSW Department of Natural Resources. This report, Native Vegetation of Southeast NSW (NVSNSW), was based on the South Coast - Illawarra Vegetation Integration (SCIVI) Project, which aimed to integrate many previous vegetation classification and mapping works to produce a single regional classification and map plus information on regional conservation status of vegetation types. Survey work for the Land Management Plan generally supported the overall pattern of distribution within study area of the community distribution as mapped by NVSNSW.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

  • Action Statement
    Action Statement Flora and F auna Guarantee Act 1988 No. 211 Colquhoun Grevillea Grevillea celata This Action Statement is based on a draft Recovery Plan prepared for this species by DSE under contract to the Australian Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. Description Colquhoun Grevillea (Grevillea celata ) is an erect and open, to low and dense, root-suckering shrub, 0.4–1.8 m tall (Molyneux 1995). The leaves are elliptic, alternate, hairy and grey-green, to 44 x 18 mm. The lower leaf surface is almost white and densely hairy; the leaf margins are curved under, sometimes almost obscuring the lower surface (DSE 2005a). Flowers appear from July to February, and are red and yellow with curved tubes about 12 mm long. The flowers are hairy outside but densely hairy inside, and split into four lobes to release a red, hairy style to 25 mm long (Molyneux 1995; DSE 2005a). The fruit is a leathery, hairy capsule, longitudinally ridged, which splits to release winged seeds (Walsh & Distribution in Victoria Entwisle 1996). (Flora Information System DSE 2007) Colquhoun Grevillea is very similar to Golden Grevillea ( Grevillea chrysophaea ), which does not root-sucker and lacks red coloration on the perianth (Walsh & Entwisle 1996). Another similar species is Cat’s Claw Grevillea ( Grevillea alpina ). individuals exist. These plants occur in nine Cat’s Claw Grevillea, however, generally does not populations. The extent of range and abundance of root-sucker, and has a more prominent tongue-like Colquhoun Grevillea prior to European settlement nectary and usually a shorter pistil (10 - 20.5 mm is unknown.
