  • South Coast Region Regional Management Plan
    SOUTH COAST REGION REGIONAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 1992 - 2002 MANAGEMENT PLAN NO. 24 Department of Conservation and Land Management for the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority and the Lands and Forest Commission Western Australia PREFACE Regional management plans are prepared by the Department of Conservation and Land Management on behalf of the Lands and Forest Commission and the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority. These two bodies submit the plans for final approval and modification, if required, by the Minister for the Environment. Regional plans are to be prepared for each of the 10 regions administered by the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM). This plan for the South Coast Region covers all lands and waters in the Region vested under the CALM Act, together with wildlife responsibilities included in the Wildlife Conservation Act. In addition to the Regional Plan, more detailed management plans will be prepared for certain critical management issues, (the most serious of which is the spread of dieback disease in the Region); particular high value or high conflict areas, (such as some national parks); or for certain exploited or endangered species, (such as kangaroos and the Noisy Scrub-bird). These plans will provide more detailed information and guidance for management staff. The time frame for this Regional Plan is ten years, although review and restatement of some policies may be necessary during this period. Implementation will take place progressively over this period and there will be continuing opportunity for public comment. This management plan was submitted by the Department of Conservation and Land Management and adopted by the Lands and Forest Commission on 12 June 1991 and the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority on 19 July 1991 and approved by the Minister for the Environment on 23 December 1991.

FORWARD This Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan constitutes the formal national regional recovery plan for 11 flora species and provides recovery guidance for the remaining species and ecological communities largely endemic to the Fitzgerald Biosphere on the south coast of Western Australia that are listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The Fitzgerald River National Park (FRNP) was designated a Biosphere Reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme in 1978, and is recognised for its relatively pristine state and high biological diversity, especially its flora. For the purpose of this plan, the term ‘Fitzgerald Biosphere’ or ‘Biosphere’ refers to the combination of the core Biosphere area as recognised by MAB and the buffer and transition zones as defined by catchment boundaries as shown in figure 1.

Lysinema ciliatum has long been regarded as a widespread and variable species. Occurring throughout much of the South- West Botanical Province of Western Australia on a variety of substrates, it is morphologically variable in foliar and floral characters, with up to eleven morphotypes informally recognised as putatively distinct taxa following a preliminary assessment in the early 1990s.

Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status.

A revision of the south-western Australian genus Astartea (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae). Nuytsia 23: 189–269 (2013). Astartea'&LVDORQJHVWDEOLVKHGWD[RQRPLFDOO\GLI¿FXOWJHQXVFORVHO\ related to Cyathostemon Turcz. and Hypocalymma (Endl.) Endl. It is restricted to damp habitats of the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia. In this revision of the genus, 22 species are recognised, including 11 new species (A. cicatricosa Rye & Trudgen, A. decemcostata Rye, A. eobalta Rye, A. graniticola Rye & Trudgen, A. middletonii Rye, A. montana Rye, A. onycis Rye & Trudgen, A. schaueri Rye & Trudgen, A. reticulata Rye, A. transversa Rye and A. zephyra Rye & Trudgen) and one new subspecies (A. aspera Schauer subsp. riparia Rye). A presumed hybrid between A. arbuscula (R.Br. ex Benth.) Rye and A. corniculata Schauer is also described. Distinguishing characteristics, insect associations and other aspects of the biology of Astartea are discussed and illustrated. Introduction The myrtaceous genus Astartea DC. belongs to the large tribe Chamelaucieae DC. and is restricted to GDPSKDELWDWVLQWKHVRXWKZHVWRI:HVWHUQ$XVWUDOLD,WLVDZHOOGH¿QHGJHQXVZLWKPDQ\VLPLODUVSHFLHV presumably resulting from a relatively recent and rapid radiation.
