    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? 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. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Plantaginaceae)
    Telopea 11(3) 276–292 New Australian species and typifications in Veronica sens. lat. (Plantaginaceae) Barbara G. Briggs1 and Friedrich Ehrendorfer2 1Botanic Gardens Trust Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia. Email: [email protected] 2Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, Rennweg 14, A–1030, Vienna, Austria. Email: [email protected] Abstract Four Australian species of Veronica sens. lat. are newly described and illustrated; lectotypes are selected for other species and synonyms. In V. ‘sect. Derwentia’ (Raf.) B.G.Briggs (in Garnock-Jones et al. submitted) we informally recognise three clades: the Derwentia clade, the V. formosa clade and the V. calycina clade. A second species of the V. formosa clade, V. continua, is newly described; both V. continua and V. formosa being Tasmanian endemics. New Australian mainland taxa of the V. calycina clade are V. grosseserrata, V. sobolifera and V. subtilis; types and synonyms are listed for V. brownii, V. calycina, V. distans, V. gracilis, V. hillebrandii, V. notabilis, V. novae-hollandiae, V. parnkalliana and V. plebeia. From V. sect. Hebe, typification and synonyms are provided for V. densifolia. Introduction Veronica and related genera of the Veroniceae were, until recently, regarded as members of the Scrophulariaceae. The results of DNA analyses have, however, led to drastic changes in the circumscription of the family and the reclassification of Veronica as a member of the Plantaginaceae (Olmstead & Reeves 1995, Olmstead et al. 2001, Albach et al. 2005). Such analyses have also made clear that Veronica is paraphyletic if Southern Hemisphere genera such as Derwentia, Parahebe, Hebe and Chionohebe are recognised (Albach & Chase 2001, Wagstaff et al.
