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.

    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (21/1/2008) by Mark A. Clements Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. 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. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name.

Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2008 ISBN: 978 1 921466 16 8 Cover photography: Scented Irongrass tussock grassland at Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Park (Left) (T. Dendy, DEH) and Southern Cypress Pine forest at Mowantjie Willauwar Conservation Park (Right) (C. Lovering, DEH). This document may be cited as ‘Department for Environment and Heritage (2008) Mowantjie Willauwar and Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Parks Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia’. FOREWORD Mowantjie Willauwar Conservation Park conserves 142.9 hectares of Southern Cypress Pine Forest found approximately six kilometres south-west of Tailem Bend in the Murralyands region of South Australia. The nationally vulnerable Sandhill Greenhood Orchid and nationally endangered Metallic Sun-orchid have been found in the park. The population of Sandhill Greenhood Orchids is one of the nine remaining in our State. Visitors can enjoy this park while walking along the new River Bend Heritage Trail that extends between the ferry crossings in Tailem Bend and Wellington. Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Park is in close proximity to Mowantjie Willauwar Conservation Park, being approximately five kilometres south-east of Tailem Bend. The Scented Irongrass tussock grassland conserved in Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Park is the largest known area of this vegetation community (240.9 hectares) endemic to South Australia. Temperate grasslands such as those found in this park are poorly conserved resulting in a classification as critically endangered under Australian Government legislation.

  • Orchids of the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens
    Orchids of the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens Native Orchid Society of South Australia Australia is a rich resource for orchids, especially terrestrial orchids which make up 82 percent of all the Australian orchids. Terrestrial Orchids are found, mainly below the tropics in grasslands, heath lands, and eucalyptus forests. Many are deciduous coming up in autumn/winter, flowering in winter/spring and dying down in summer. Most rely on fungi to survive, and for germinated to occur. What makes an orchid? Orchids are always made up of five main segments: a labellum, column, two sepals and a dorsal sepal and two petals. How do orchids reproduce? Most orchids need to be pollinated by native bees, wasps and sometimes ants. The introduced European Bee, because of its size, does not pollinate the flower, but can instead damage or destroy it. Some orchids do not require a pollinator and are thus called self pollinating. Orchids in South Australia. There are many different orchids; in fact, South Australia is home to over three hundred different species, some of which are yet to be described. The Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens yields a variety of orchids, which will be covered in this leaflet. Native Orchid Society of South Australia ©2011 Arachnorchis tentaculata King Spider Orchid This species is relatively common in the Mt. Lofty Ranges, with flowers reaching ten centimetres across. It can easily be distinguished by clubs on the end of its petals and sepals. Diuris pardina Spotted Donkey Orchid This attractive flower is distinguished by the spots on its sepals and labellum. It received its common name as its petals reminded the English settlers of donkey ears.
