Widespread clearing of habitat has been responsible for the decline in range and abundance of the species. There are estimated to be 6,000–12,000 plants occurring in about 75 locations, almost all of these occurring in the Wimmera region of western Victoria. At least 50% of the total number of plants occur in just seven populations, with one population, in the Little Desert National Park in Victoria, accounting for about 25% of the total number. Most populations are small (<20 plants) and occur in highly vulnerable situations such as roadsides. Remaining populations are threatened by weed invasion, grazing, lack of regeneration, roadworks and altered fire regimes. The Hairy-pod Wattle is listed as Vulnerable under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, Threatened under the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 and Endangered under the South Australian National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. This national Recovery Plan for the Hairy-pod Wattle details the species’ distribution and biology, conservation status, threats, and recovery objectives and actions necessary to ensure its long-term survival. Species Information Description The Hairy-pod Wattle Acacia glandulicarpa is a dense, rounded, spreading and much-branched shrub 0.5–2 m high, with dull to bright olive-green foliage. Branches are grey-brown, terete and minutely pubescent, marked with small raised leaf bases along the stems. Phyllodes are obliquely oblong-obovate to more or less elliptic, 5–13 mm long and 3–8 mm broad, erect, thick, rigid, glabrous, minutely glandular, and sometimes viscid when young. The lower phyllode margins are usually undulate. Phyllodes are 2-veined, the central vein being more prominent. Lateral veins are few and obscure, and the apex is shortly mucronate. Inflorescences are simple, axillary, solitary or paired, with the bright yellow flower heads carrying 8–20 flowers from July–October. Peduncles are about as long as the phyllode. Seed pods are narrowly oblong, 30 mm long and 2–5 mm wide, straight or curved, sticky, and covered with glandular shining hairs (description from Jessop & Toelken 1986; Maslin 1996). Little is known of the ecology of the Hairy-pod Wattle. Most stands comprise ageing individuals (Venn 1996), although in late 2003 some recruitment was observed at several sites following heavy spring rain. Sticky, unripe seed pods (November 2003, by O. Carter) seedling at McHabes Hut Track West, Little Desert National Park (November 2003, by O. Carter) 3 Hairy-pod wattle flowers (September 2007, by Gary Backhouse) Distribution The Hairy-pod Wattle is endemic to south-eastern Australia, where it occurs in the Wimmera region of western Victoria and south-east, northern agricultural and north-east pastoral districts of South Australia, in the Murray Darling Depression IBRA bioregion (sensu DEH 2000) (Figure 1). Although the species has a wide total distribution, plants are apparently restricted to three widely separated broad locations: (1) the Wimmera region of western Victoria; (2) around Burra, and (3) Wertaloona Station in South Australia. Present Range Figure 1. Distribution of the Hairy-pod Wattle 4 Maps showing the distribution of the Hairy-pod Wattle are available from the Department of Sustainability and Environment (for Victoria) and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (for South Australia). Population information The Hairy-pod Wattle has been recorded from about 75 separate sites (DSE & DENR flora records and additional records from the Horsham Field Naturalists Club), with an estimated total population of 6,000–12,000 plants. Most sites and plants occur in Victoria, with about seven sites currently known from South Australia. At least 50% of the total number of plants occur in just seven populations, with one population (Little Desert National Park-Kiata) accounting for about 25% of the total number (Table 1). At least 60 sites are on roadsides, with most sites comprising very few individuals (1–20 plants). Some of these sites are separated by <100m, hence the total number of breeding populations may be less than 70 and more likely closer to 50. There are likely to be more occurrences of Hairy-pod Wattle along roadsides (and possibly on adjoining private land) that still support remnant native vegetation in the Victorian Wimmera and South Australia (Jessop & Tolken 1986). Important sites necessary to the long term survival and recovery of the Hairy-pod Wattle have been determined according to their relative chance of long-term ecological viability, including evidence of regeneration, population size, land tenure, patch and landscape condition, and geographic location, with representative sites from across the range of the species requiring protection to maintain the

Government of South Australia Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921018 887 Front cover photograph courtesy of Bernd Stoecker FRPS and reproduced with his permission This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is located approximately 80 kilometres north-east of Adelaide and approximately 12 kilometres south-east of Tanunda, in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges. The 392 hectare park was proclaimed in 1979 to conserve a remnant block of native vegetation, in particular the northern-most population of Brown Stringybark (Eucalyptus baxteri). Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park preserves a substantial number of habitats for native fauna and helps to protect the soil and watershed of Tanunda Creek. More than 360 species of native plant are found within the reserve, many of which are of conservation significance. Bird species of conservation significance recorded within the reserve include the Diamond Firetail, White-browed Treecreeper, Elegant Parrot and Crescent Honeyeater. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park also has a rich cultural heritage. The reserve is of significance to the Peramangk people and Ngadjuri people who have traditional associations with the land. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park has also been a valuable source of material for botanical research. Dr Ferdinand von Mueller and Dr Hans Herman Behr collected Barossa Ranges plants from the area between 1844 and 1851.

  • RECORDS of the HAWAII BIOLOGICAL SURVEY for 1998 Part 1: Articles
    1 RECORDS OF THE HAWAII BIOLOGICAL SURVEY FOR 1998 Part 1: Articles Editors’ Preface We are pleased to present the fifth annual compilation of Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey. The number and diversity of taxa reported in these issues attest to the value of the Records as part of the ongoing effort to inventory the Hawaiian biota. The Hawaii Biological Survey, established by the Hawaii State Legislature in 1992 as a program of the Bishop Museum, is an ongoing natural history inventory of the Hawaiian Archipelago. It was created to locate, identify, and evaluate all native and non- native species of flora and fauna within the state; and by State Law to maintain the refer- ence collections of that flora and fauna for a wide range of uses. In coordination with related activities in other federal, state, and private agencies, the Hawaii Biological Sur- vey gathers, analyzes, and disseminates biological information necessary for the wise stewardship of Hawai‘i’s biological resources Some of the highlights of Records of the Hawaii Biological Survey for 1998 include: • an update of numbers of species in Hawai‘i; • a checklist of the Hymenoptera of Midway Atoll; • a list of the terrestrial isopods from Midway Atoll; • results of an extensive survey of apple snails from watercourses on O‘ahu; • new records of plants, insects, and other invertebrates resulting from field surveys and continued curation of Hawaiian collections at Bishop Museum and else- where An intensive and coordinated effort has been made by the Hawaii Biological Survey to make our products, including many of the databases supporting papers published here, available to the widest user-community possible through our web server.

  • First Steps Towards a Floral Structural Characterization of the Major Rosid Subclades
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2006 First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades Endress, P K ; Matthews, M L Abstract: A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by molecular phylogenetic studies. However, as many apparent relationships are not yet well resolved, the structural support also remains tentative. Some of the features that turned out to be of interest in the present study had not previously been considered in earlier supraordinal studies. The strongest floral structural support is for malvids (Brassicales, Malvales, Sapindales), which reflects the strong support of phylogenetic analyses. Somewhat less structurally supported are the COM (Celastrales, Oxalidales, Malpighiales) and the nitrogen-fixing (Cucurbitales, Fagales, Fabales, Rosales) clades of fabids, which are both also only weakly supported in phylogenetic analyses. The sister pairs, Cucurbitales plus Fagales, and Malvales plus Sapindales, are structurally only weakly supported, and for the entire fabids there is no clear support by the present floral structural data. However, an additional grouping, the COM clade plus malvids, shares some interesting features but does not appear as a clade in phylogenetic analyses. Thus it appears that the deepest split within eurosids- that between fabids and malvids - in molecular phylogenetic analyses (however weakly supported) is not matched by the present structural data. Features of ovules including thickness of integuments, thickness of nucellus, and degree of ovular curvature, appear to be especially interesting for higher level relationships and should be further explored.
