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.

Native Pea Plants Walkabout KWG
Native Pea Plants Walkabout KWG standard (petal) wing wing (petal) (petal) keel (2 petals) Pea plants and wattles (botanically, members of the Fabaceae family) both possess root nodules containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and have pods as their fruit. We classify the pea plants as Fabaceae, Subfamily Faboideae, the wattles as Fabaceae, Subfamily Mimosoideae. Many native pea plants grow in Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden, most of them with yellow–coloured flowers. Take a walk through the garden and see if you can find them. To help with their identification pictures of these species are shown below and underneath each picture a few key features are noted. Fuller descriptions of these plants can be found on Australian Plants Society – North Shore Group Blandfordia website: https://austplants.com.au/North-Shore/ in “Notes” on the Walks & Talks page. Excellent pictures can be found on the Hornsby Library website: www.hornsby.nsw.gov.au/library under: eLibrary, Learning and Research, Hornsby Herbarium.

Spatial analysis of risks posed by root rot pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi: implications for disease management. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 134, B147-B179. Phytophthora cinnamomi, a soil-borne pathogen that infects the roots of plants, is listed as a Key Threatening Process under Commonwealth and NSW state biodiversity legislation due to its deleterious effects on native ﬂ ora. In warm temperate eastern Australia, the disease may cause insidious declines in plant species that have slow rates of population turnover, and thereby threaten their long term persistence. Phytophthora cinnamomi has been known to occur in Royal National Park since the 1970s and systematic surveys for the pathogen were carried out a decade ago. Development of effective management strategies to mitigate the impacts of the disease requires information on the spatial distribution of risks posed by the disease. In this study, we use limited disease survey data to identify areas that are most at risk. We propose and apply a simple risk model in which risks of disease impact are proportional to the product of habitat suitability for the pathogen and abundance of susceptible biota.

Pictorial Guide to the Common Legumes of the Blue Mountains, Australia
Pictorial guide to the common legumes of the Blue Mountains, Australia. About this guide The photographs in this guide show vouchers that were taken from sampling sites in the Blue Mountains around the Bilpin-Katoomba area. These vouchers were identified at the NSW Herbarium. The genera are sorted alphabetically, but the species within each genus are shown in order of decreasing commonality in the field. Each voucher is photographed on a 1 cm grid. Descriptions and line drawings are from PlantNET < plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au >. The glossary of botany terms is also taken from PlantNET. Acacia spp. Acacia ulicifolia Extremely pungent and stiff leaves. Description Decumbent to erect shrub 0.5–2 m high; bark smooth, grey; branchlets ± terete, at first sparsely to densely hairy. Stipules subulate, 1–2 mm long. Phyllodes ± rigid, ± straight, terete or 4-angled, 0.8–1.5 cm long, 1–2 mm wide, glabrous, midvein prominent and slightly towards the upper margin, apex pungent-pointed; 1 obscure gland along margin; pulvinus obscure. Inflorescences simple, 1 in axil of phyllodes; peduncles 5–15 mm long, usually glabrous; heads globose, 15–35-flowered, 4–10 mm diam., pale yellow to ± white.
