Caladenia Drakeoides)
INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 141 HINGED DRAGON ORCHID (CALADENIA DRAKEOIDES) INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2003-2008 Andrew Brown, Emma Holland and Kim Kershaw Photo A.P. Brown July 2003 Department of Conservation and Land Management Western Australian Threatened Species and Communities Unit PO Box 51, Wanneroo, WA 6946. Interim Recovery Plan for Caladenia drakeoides FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (the Department) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The Department is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan, which replaces IRP 29 (Drakonorchis drakeoides ms) will operate from July 2003 to June 2008 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full Recovery Plan will be assessed. This IRP was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 21 July, 2003. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities. -

Die Gattung Epipactis Und Ihre Systematische Stellung Innnerhalb Der Unterfamilie Neottioideae, Im Lichte Enhvickiungsgeschichtli- Eher Untersuchungen
Jber. natnrwiss. Ver Wuppertal 51 43 - 100 Wuppertal, 15.9.1998 Die Gattung Epipactis und ihre systematische Stellung innnerhalb der Unterfamilie Neottioideae, im Lichte enhvickiungsgeschichtli- eher Untersuchungen. Kar1 Robatsch Mit Zeichnungen von L. FREIDINGER und C. A. MRKVICKA Zusammenfassung: Die systematische Stellung der Gattung Epipactis in der Subtribus Cephalantherinae wie auch die Stel- lung dieser Subtribus innerhalb der Unterfamilie Neottioideae wird an Beispielen enhvickungsgeschicht- licher Untersuchungen diskutiert. Nach den neuesten molekularen Daten, die aus DNA-Sequenzanalysen gewonnen wurden, ist ein Stammbaum erstellt worden, in dem die Neottioideae in die "epidendroids" eingereiht wurden. Das steht im Widerspruch zu dem in unserer Arbeit praktizierten Klassifikations- System, das in "Die Orcliideen" R. SCHLECHTER in der Bearbeitung von F. BMEGER und K. SENGHAS venvendet wird. Die Ableitung einer Orchideenblüte aus dem Liliiflorae-Erbe ermögliclit eine Differentialdiagnose zwi- schen den Orchidaceae und den Apostasiaceae. Die Apostasiaceae, die viele Autoren als Unterfamilie Apostasioideae zu den Orchidaceae stellen, werden durch vergleichende Blütenanalysen von dieser Familie abgetrennt. Der Entwickiungstendenz des Gynoeceums der Orchideen, durch die es zum Auf- bau eines Rostellums mit seinen Organen kommt, steht die Reduktionstendenz des Gynoeceums der Apostasiaceae, durch die es zu einer Verminderung des ursprünglich trimeren Stigmas kommt, gegen- über.

Vegetation of Durokoppin and Kodj Kodjin Nature Reserves
II VEGETATION OF DUROKOPPIN AND KODJ KODJIN NATURE RESERVES B.G. MUIR INTRODUCfION Durokoppin Reserve (DR) and Kodj Kodjin Reserve (KKR) both fall within the Avon district of the South-west Botanical Province of Gardner and Bennetts (1956) and the vegetation of the Reserves largely conforms to that generally found throughout this region. Abbreviated vegetation descriptions of DR appear in Appendix 1 and of KKR in Appendix 3. Full descriptions of the vegetation following the format presented in Muir (1977a) have been lodged in the Archives of Western Australian Museum; details are available on request from the Librarian. A description of the road verge connecting DR and KKR is given at the end of Appendix 1. Methodology The vegetation of DR and KKR was mapped at Level 2 of the reliability scale set out in Muir (1977a). Each vegetation formation discernible on the air photographs was examined on the ground; this information was then extrapolated to adjacent formations. Uncleared land contiguous to the Reserves but not included within them was mapped at formation level directly from the photographs (Level 3). Level 2 locations, shown on vegetation Maps 1 and 2 represent 'sample areas' where the vegetation was examined and described using the classifica tion shown in Table 1 and discussed in detail in Muir (1977a). The following prefix numbers of the locations represent basic formation types. 1 woodland formations 5 lithic complexes 2 mallee formations 6 breakaway complexes 3 shrubland formations 7 salt complexes 4 heaths 8 other Level 3 locations are shown on the maps prefixed by: W = woodland formations M = mallee formations The methods used in classifying formations, coding habitat data, preparing plant lists, classifying litter and describing soils are those of Muir (1977a). -
DRAFT 25/10/90; Plant List Updated Oct. 1992; Notes Added June 2021
DRAFT 25/10/90; plant list updated Oct. 1992; notes added June 2021. PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF OPEN COUNTRY PADDOCK, BOOLARDY STATION Allan H. Burbidge and J.K. Rolfe INTRODUCTION Boolardy Station is situated about 150 km north of Yalgoo and 140 km west-north-west of Cue, in the Shire of Murchison, Western Australia. Open Country Paddock (about 16 000 ha) is in the south-east corner of the station, at 27o05'S, 116o50'E. The most prominent named feature is Coolamooka Hill, near the eastern boundary of the paddock. There are no conservation reserves in this region, although there are some small reserves set aside for various other purposes. Previous biological data for the station consist of broad scale vegetation mapping and land system mapping. Beard (1976) mapped the entire Murchison region at 1: 1 000 000. The Open Country Paddock area was mapped as supporting mulga woodlands and shrublands. More detailed mapping of land system units for rangeland assessment purposes has been carried out more recently at a scale of 1: 40 000 (Payne and Curry in prep.). Seven land systems were identified in open Country Paddock (Fig. 1). Apart from these studies, no detailed biological survey work appears to have been done in the area. Open Country Paddock has been only lightly grazed by domestic stock because of the presence of Kite-leaf Poison (Gastrolobium laytonii) and a lack of fresh water. Because of this and the generally good condition of the paddock and presence of a wide range of plant species, P.J. -

Here, we define the distribution and extent of genomic diversity across the range of the iconic but threatened Acacia purpureopetala, a beautiful sprawling shrub with mauve flowers, restricted to a few disjunct populations in far north Queensland, Australia. Seed production is poor and germination sporadic, but the species occurs in abundance at some field sites. While several thousands of SNP markers were recovered, comparable to other Acacia species, very low levels of heterozygosity and allelic variation suggested inbreeding. Limited dispersal most likely contributed towards the high levels of divergence amongst field sites and, using a generalised dissimilarity modelling framework amongst environmental, spatial and floristic data, spatial distance was found to be the strongest factor explaining the current distribution of genetic diversity. We illustrate how population genomic data can be utilised to design Citation: van der Merwe, M.M.; Yap, a collecting strategy for a germplasm conservation collection that optimises genetic diversity. -
