  • Conservation Advice Acacia Subflexuosa Subsp. Capillata
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister’s delegate approved this conservation advice on 01/10/2015 Conservation Advice Acacia subflexuosa subsp. capillata hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle Conservation Status Acacia subflexuosa subsp. capillata (hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle) is listed as Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act). The species is eligible for listing as endangered as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The main factors that are the cause of the species being eligible for listing in the endangered category are a restricted extent of occurrence and a low number of mature individuals (Harris and Brown, 2003). In 1998, the subspecies was listed as Rare Flora and Critically Endangered in Western Australia (Wildlife Conservation Act 1950). Description The hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle is a rounded shrub (Brown et al., 1998) to 1 m tall with thickened, sharply-pointed phyllodes, 3 to 4 cm long and 1 to 1.5 mm wide (Harris and Brown, 2003). Flowers are in yellow globular heads (Orchard and Wilson, 2001), on 4 to 6 mm long stalks and appear from August to November (Brown et al., 1998; Cowan & Maslin 1999). Pods are narrow and coiled, 4 cm long and 2 mm wide. Distribution The hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle is endemic to the Cunderdin-Tammin area of Western Australia where it occurs over a range of less than 5 km (Orchard and Wilson, 2001).

    The Pastoral History, Biological and Cultural Signifi cance of the Scotia Country, far Western New South Wales MARTIN WESTBROOKE Centre for Environmental Management, University of Ballarat, Mt Helen, Victoria 3353 ([email protected]) Published on 28 August 2012 at http://escholarship.library.usyd.edu.au/journals/index.php/LIN Westbrooke, M. (2012). The pastoral history, biological and cultural signifi cance of the Scotia Country, far western New South Wales. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 134, A55-A68. The Scotia country of far western New South Wales, once part of the vast Lake Victoria lease and subsequently split into six smaller properties after WW1, has one of the shortest grazing histories in the state. The low stocking rates due to unsuitable feed provided by the mallee vegetation and limited water supplies have left native vegetation communities relatively intact and close to original condition. A natural salt lake system with rare plants and plant communities adds to the values of the area. This paper reviews the pastoral history of the area and the features which make the Scotia of outstanding conservation and cultural signifi cance. Manuscript received 19 October 2011, accepted for publication 11 January 2012. KEYWORDS: conservation, cultural, mallee, pastoral lease, plant communities, Scotia. INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SCOTIA BLOCKS The Scotia country of approximately 200,000ha is located in far western New South Wales mid- The Scotia blocks (see Table 1) are located in far way between Wentworth and Broken Hill, latitude south western New South Wales to the west of the 33o43’S, longitude 143o02’E (Fig.
