Dillwynia sieberi Steud. and Lodd. were both confused under D. juniperina.

General Information Distribution Dillwynia juniperina is endemic to Australia, distributed in the states of New South Wales and Victoria, also in the Australian Capital Territory. It occurs only in a few sites in south New South Wales (in Culcairn, Trunkey and Bowan Park) and in the Northen Tablelands populations are in fragmented woodlands, often along road easements and often in a very degraded state with weed invasions (Gross 2001).

Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology A shrub that grows in dry sclerophyll forest and woodlands usually on poor skeletal, sandy or gravelly soils. Its flowers obligately require pollination by bees (Gross 2001).

Threats There are no major threats known to this species. However, the habitat where this species is distributed was extensively cleared for industrial and urban development, furthermore human-caused fires might threaten some populations in this fragmented habitat.

However, more research is needed to verify the range of this species, since this species was confused with D. sieberi. This species is not listed as Threatened in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). It is also recommended that its seeds are banked for ex situ conservation.

IUCN Red Listing Red List Assessment:(using 2001 IUCN system) Least Concern (LC)

Red List Criteria: Date Last Seen (only for EX, EW or Possibly EX species): Is the species Possibly Extinct?  Possibly Extinct Candidate?  Rationale for the Red List Assessment D. juniperina is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution through south-eastern Australia within its natural range and the fact that it is known to occur in protected areas. The species has not been classified as Threatened by the EPBC Act, however it is recommended that this species is surveyed to understand population dynamics and size to determine the full extent of its range, and that its seeds are banked as an ex situ conservation measure.
