Woolly Bush Adenanthos sericeus Description The Woolly Bush is a large upright shrub that grows from 0.5 m to 5 m high by 2 m wide. Its soft, silver-grey foliage provides an attractive contrast in the garden. It can be grown in a range of conditions, including coastal areas. Flowers The small, red flowers on this plant are almost inconspicuous, but they are a great source of nectar for small honeyeaters throughout most of the year. Growing conditions This species thrives on coastal sands and right through to heavy soils, providing the site is free-draining. It is best grown in full sun but is highly adaptable and can cope with semi-shade to create an under-storey. A shady position, however, will cause plants to become ‘leggy’ and more regular pruning is required to maintain shape and form. Autumn and winter are the preferred planting times. Watering Once established, this plant is very hardy and in some situations needs no supplementary summer watering. Open mulch will help to conserve moisture. Pruning The Woolly Bush is able to be hedged and shaped to suit any situation within the home garden. It is highly responsive to pruning and mature plants can even tolerate severe major limb removal to stimulate development of new foliage. Fertiliser Apply slow release native blend 8–9 month fertiliser at planting and annually as required in spring. Pests and diseases This plant is vulnerable to borers within the major stems and small growing tips. The Woolly Bush is also susceptible to dieback (the soil-borne fungus, Phytophthora cinnamomi) as well as sometimes having minor issues with mealybugs. In general it is a hardy performer. Miscellaneous This Western Australian species is soft to the touch and a worthy inclusion in most gardens. It should perform well for up to 10 years before it will require replacing. It may also be grown in a large tub and shaped for a Christmas tree! Further Information Gardening Advisory Service, a free service provided by Kings Park Volunteer Master Gardeners.

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. CALM is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible. This IRP will operate from April 2005 to March 2010 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 26 October, 2005 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 26 October, 2005. The provision of funds and personnel identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting CALM, as well as the need to address other priorities.

SPRAWLING SPIKY ADENANTHOS (ADENANTHOS PUNGENS SUBSP. EFFUSUS) RECOVERY PLAN Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Recovery Plan for Adenanthos pungens subsp. effusus FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in WA Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM), now Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. Note: the Department of CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. DEC will continue to adhere to these Policy Statements until they are revised and reissued. 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. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of Critically Endangered (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This IRP results from a review of, and replaces, IRP No. 78 Adenanthos pungens subsp. effusus (Evans, Stack, Loudon, Graham and Brown 2000). This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from May 2006 to April 2011 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked as Critically Endangered (WA), this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full Recovery Plan will be assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 13 February, 2006 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 22 February, 2006.

Adenanthos Cunninghamii (Albany Woollybush) Listing Advice
Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on Amendments to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Scientific name (common name) Adenanthos cunninghamii (Albany Woollybush) A genetic analysis of Adenanthos cunninghamii confirmed that it is a hybrid between Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus (Walker 2002). 2. Description The Albany Woollybush is a spreading, erect, woody shrub to 1.5 metres. It has single, dull red flowers and soft, hairy leaves (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). The hybrid’s morphology is intermediate between its two parents, Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus (Walker 2002). The Albany Woollybush occurs on deep, sandy soils in low woodland, heath or low scrub, and co-occurs with its parent species. It flowers in March, September and October (Hopper et al. 1990; Rye and Hopper 1981). 3. National Context The Albany Woollybush is endemic to Western Australia, and is known from twenty populations in southern coastal areas near Albany (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). The taxon occurs in the Torndirrup National Park, and surrounding private property and Shire Reserve, approximately 15 kilometres south west of Albany. It also occurs in Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve and at Gull Rock, east of Albany (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). Based on surveys conducted between 1991 and 2004, the total population size is approximately 130 mature individuals (CALM 2005). The parent species, Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus, are more widely distributed along the south coast of Western Australia (CALM 2005). The Albany Woollybush is not listed under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950.

Genetic and Morphological Evidence Supports the Hybrid Status of Adenanthos Cunninghamii (Now Adenanthos × Cunninghamii)

Walker a, J. McComb a, M. Byrne b,⁎ a School of Biological Sciences, Murdoch University, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia b Science and Conservation, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, WA 6983, Australia article info abstract Available online xxxx Hybridisation is common among plants and is considered to be an important process in evolution. However, there is much debate as to the role of hybridisation in conservation, particularly whether species of hybrid origin Edited by A Potts should be protected. In general, conservation policy allows for the protection of hybrids and hybrid progeny if they are shown to be taxonomically distinct, stable and capable of self-perpetuation, and naturally produced. Keywords: The rare species Adenanthos cunninghamii was suspected to be a hybrid between putative parents, Adenanthos Hybridisation sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus, as it only occurs where these species co-occur and it displays intermediate Hybrid species and variable morphology. Genetic analysis of A. cunninghamii and the two putative parent species was consistent Genetic diversity Leaf morphology with this species being a hybrid between A. sericeus and A. cuneatus. Direct analysis of diagnostic loci and phenetic Conservation analysis indicated that A. cunninghamii was not genetically uniform and was genetically intermediate between the putative parents. A. cunninghamii is not a distinguishable taxon, morphologically or genetically, and does not produce offspring with morphology within the taxonomic description of the species, thus the species does not satisfy the criteria for protection of hybrids and listing as a rare species in Western Australia.

Many species are worthy of cultivation and are grown either for their attractive pink to red solitary flowers, their interesting foliage (leaves are entire to very deeply divided) or as dense mat ground covers. Plants for the nursery industry are traditionally propagated from cuttings, due to the difficulty of collecting large quantities of seed and the trouble involved in its germination.
