Flora Species Recorded in the Metropolitan Melbourne Investigation Area Flora species recorded in the Metropolitan Melbourne Investigation area As of October 2010, the Department of Sustainability and Environment’s Flora Information System database contains records for the following taxa in the Metropolitan Melbourne Investigation area. LEGEND: EPBC: status under Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, as at December 2004. C Critically Endangered: A taxon is critically endangered when it is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. E Endangered: A taxon is endangered when it is not critically endangered but is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. V Vulnerable: A taxon is vulnerable when it is not critically endangered or endangered but is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future. Vic: conservation status in Victoria, after DSE (2005). x Presumed Extinct in Victoria: not recorded from Victoria during the past 50 years despite field searches specifically for the plant, or, alternatively, intensive field searches (since 1950) at all previously known sites have failed to record the plant. e Endangered in Victoria: at risk of disappearing from the wild state if present land use and other causal factors continue to operate. v Vulnerable in Victoria: not presently endangered but likely to become so soon due to continued depletion; occurring mainly on sites likely to experience changes in land-use which would threaten the survival of the plant in the wild; or, taxa whose total population is so small that the likelihood of recovery from disturbance, including localised natural events such as drought, fire or landslip, is doubtful. r Rare in Victoria: rare but not considered otherwise threatened - there are relatively few known populations or the taxon is restricted to a relatively small area. k Poorly Known in Victoria: poorly known and suspected, but not definitely known, to belong to one of the above categories (x, e, v or r) within Victoria. At present, accurate distribution information is inadequate. FFG: status under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988, as at December 2004. For the most up-to-date listings under the Act, visit: http://www.dse.vic.gov.au.

Box 94, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the structuring of two sympatric and co- flowering acacia species - Acacia ehrenbergiana (Hayne) and Acacia tortilis (Forsk.) - in relation to their flowering period distribution, floral reward partitioning, nectar secretion dynamics, and visitor assemblages. This research was performed in an arid climatic zone of the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia). To determine if there is partitioning of pollinators between the two species their peak flowering periods were monitored and the peak time of pollen release through the day was quantified as the ratio of polyads to anthers. The nectar sugar secretion dynamics were estimated following nectar sugar washing techniques. The types and frequency of visitors were recorded and correlated. The two species varied in their peak flowering time within a season and peak pollen release time within a day. Moreover, both species secreted significant amounts of nectar sugar. The sharing of pollinators and the partial monopoly of certain visitors were observed.

Spencer [ed.]. pp. 919-929 (2000) The Potential Role of Bruchophagus acaciae (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) in the Integrated Control of Acacia Species in South Africa R. L. HILL1, A. J. GORDON2, and S. NESER3 1Richard Hill & Associates, Private Bag 4704, Christchurch, New Zealand 2Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X5017, Stellenbosch, 7599 South Africa 3Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X134, Pretoria, 0001 South Africa Abstract Australian acacias invade watersheds and riverbeds in South Africa, reducing water flows and threatening environmental and economic values. Acacia mearnsii is the most widespread and important weed but also forms the basis of an important industry. A. dealbata, and to a lesser extent A. decurrens are also problems. All belong to the Section Botrycephalae of the sub-genus Heterophyllum. Short term control is achieved locally by removing plants, and by using herbicides, but seed-feeding control agents may provide an acceptable solution in the long term. Larvae of Bruchophagus acaciae (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) develop in the seeds of acacias. It was described from New Zealand, but is an Australian species. We explore whether B. acaciae has a role as a con- trol agent for acacias in South Africa. Seed was collected from 28 Australian species of Acacia growing in New Zealand. Attack was restricted to four of the seven species with- in the Section Botrycephalae, and two cases of attack on Acacia rubida (Section Phyllodineae; n=9). Apart from a wasp reared from one seed, A.

    The invasion ecology of Acacia elata (A. Cunn. Ex Benth.) with implications for the management of ornamental wattles by Jason Ernest Donaldson Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in the Faculty of Science at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. David M. Richardson Co-supervisor: Dr. John R.

September 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis explores how human dictated methods of introduction and species-specific traits interact to define spatial patterns in invasive plant populations using Acacia elata as a model species. I initially asked whether the relatively small invasive extent (when compared to congeners introduced for forestry or dune stabilization) of a species used widely for ornamental purposes (A. elata) is due to low rates of reproduction in South Africa. Results indicate that A. elata has similar traits to other invasive Australia Acacia species: annual seed input into the leaf litter was high (up to 5000 seeds m-2); large seedbanks develop (>20 000 seeds m-2) in established stands; seed germinability is very high (>90%); seeds accumulate mostly in the top soil layers but can infiltrate to depths of 40cm; and seed germination appears to be stimulated by fire.

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted.
