    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.

  • Glossy Black-Cockatoo
    Glossy black-cockatoo Calyptorynchus lathami Yuyang (Wiradjuri) Photo: Chris Tzaros The glossy black-cockatoo may be confused with the red-tailed black-cockatoo, but it has more brownish-black plumage on the head, neck and underbody. Their body plumage is more dull black and not uniformly glossy. Also, adult females have much more yellow on the head and lack the yellow spotting on the body that red-tailed black-cockatoos have. Description Size: The glossy black-cockatoo of the Riverina is a medium-sized cockatoo. Plumage: Glossy black-cockatoos are generally black but have a blackish-brown head, neck and underparts with red or yellowish-red panels in the tail. Adult females have patches of yellow feathering on head and neck. Bill: They have a broad bulbous bill that is used for tearing apart the seed cones of sheoaks, their primary food source, and to create hollows in old trees for nesting. Call: Noisy squawks or creaky calls; wheezy ‘airr-riick’, ‘kee-aiirrk’, ‘airrek’. Quieter and less raucous than other black-cockatoos. Photo: Chris Tzaros Habitat Glossy black-cockatoos can be found in open forest and woodlands of the coast and the Great Dividing Range where stands of sheoak occur, such as black sheoak (Allocasuarina littoralis) and forest sheoak (A. torulosa). Inland, they feed on drooping sheoak (A. verticillata), broombush sheoak (A. diminuta) and mallee sheoak (A. gymnanthera). Belah (Casuarina cristata) is also utilised and may be a critical food source for some populations. The Riverina population is largely restricted to hills and low ridges where suitable stands of its food plant, the drooping sheoak, remain.

Johnson,sial. nov.InGyinnostoma, made for 11 species. combinations are This paper formally establishes thenew genus Allocasuarina, together with new combinations for all those described taxa that will be recognisedin the revision of Casuarinaceae at present being completed. Variousnew taxa will be described therein, but it is necessary to provide descriptions here fortwo species and a subspecies that will be treated in a booklet on uses of Casuarina and alliedgenera being prepared as a result of the International Casuarina Workshopheld in Canberra in August, 1981. The publication of Allocasuarina will permituse of this name in the forthcoming new edition of Flora of South Australia, Part II. Detaileddiscussion of generic and infra- generic relationships and distinctions within the familymust await publication of the revision, as must distributional details, keys, illustrations,nomenclatural discussion, and listing of synonyms and collections. The family comprises four genera: GymnostomaL. Johnson (Johnson 1980), "genus C" to be described (confined to Malesia), CasuarinaAdans. s. str., and Allocasuarina L. Johnson. They are briefly discussed by Johnson and Wilson(1981), and our account of the family in Morley and Toelken (in press)gives a synopsis of the three genera native in Australia.

  • MVG 8 Casuarina Forests and Woodlands DRAFT
    MVG 8 - CASUARINA FORESTS AND WOODLANDS Calcareous sandplain woodlands, western NSW (Photo: B. Pellow) Overview Casuarinas (the she-oaks) are a distinctive part of the Australian landscape. The name Casuarina is derived from the Malay Kasuari and alludes to the similarity between the drooping foliage of some species in the genus and that of the feathers of the cassowary bird (Boland et al., 1994). Casuarinas have a unique leaf structure, in which individual leaves are reduced to small teeth, the bases of which are fused and surround the stem. This gives the leaf-bearing branchlets the appearance of needles and the plant canopies a fine structure allowing permeability of more light than broad-leaf tree canopies. While several contrasting vegetation types are dominated by Casuarinas, most species of Allocasuarina are subordinate or subdominant members of mixed plant communities. MVG 8 includes vegetation dominated by Casuarina or Allocasuarina in contrasting environments such as arid sandplains, coastal floodplains and riparian corridors in humid landscapes (Keith 2004). Casuarina vegetation not included within MVG 8 includes: Allocasuarina decaisneana open woodland of the central deserts (included within MVG 31); coastal scrubs dominated by Allocasuarina equisetifolia (included within MVG 15); and small areas dominated by dense stands of Allocasuarina littoralis within dry sclerophyll eucalypt forests (included within MVG 3).

  • Appendix B Flora Survey Effort and Results
    APPENDIX B FLORA SURVEY EFFORT AND RESULTS October 2016 Prepared by Anderson Environment and Planning The Flora Survey Effort (FLSE) for the Biobanking Assessment Report has been guided by the following: The predict threatened flora species from within the Biobanking Credit Calculator; The Threatened Species Survey and Assessment Guidelines for developments and activities (working draft), NSW Department of Environment and Conservation (2004); The NSW Threatened Species Profile Database; and Previous flora survey results from the site. The Biobanking Calculator identified the following species as requiring survey for the proposed development: Melaleuca biconvexa (Biconvex Paperbark); Tetratheca juncea (Black-eyed Susan); Melaleuca groveana (Groves Paperbark); Cryptostylis hunteriana (Leafless Tongue Orchid); Corybas dowlingii (Red Helmet Orchid); Diuris praecox (Rough Double Tail); Grevillea parviflora (Small-flower Grevillea); Persicaria elatior (Tall Knotweed); Cyanchum elegans (White-flowered Wax Plant); Eucalyptus parramattensis subsp. parramattensis population, Wyong and Lake Macquarie local government areas. Following targeted and seasonal survey for the above species only Melaleuca biconvexa was recorded adjacent to the development site and all individuals specimens will be retained following development.

Their garden comprises three and a half acres of Australian plants in a setting inspired by open grassy woodlands. Those who attended a previous meeting at Glendeuart will notice significant developments including terraced landscaping and dry stone walling to accommodate a growing collection of Grevilleas and other Australian plants. Grevillea arenaria identifying features Photo by Mark Noake Australian Plant Society South East NSW Newsletter 120 July 2016 Page 1 An introductory talk will include a short tour of our Southeast Group’s website, showing how to easily access a wealth of information. Then follows a simple explanation of the plant features used by botanists when identifying Grevilleas, which will be illustrated with lots of images and no exams. Carolyn and Mark’s inspiration for growing Grevillea species as found in the wild and the fun to be had trying to protect rare and endangered plants will be discussed. Support will be sought on dealing with their inability to walk past a “different” plant in a nursery without purchasing it.
