Grevillea Kennedyana
THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister’s delegate approved this Conservation Advice on 01/04/2016. Conservation Advice Grevillea kennedyana flame spider-flower Conservation Status Grevillea kennedyana (flame spider-flower) is listed as Vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act). The species is eligible for listing as prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as Vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The main factors that are the cause of the species being eligible for listing in the Vulnerable category are its geographic distribution is precarious for its survival due to its limited extent of occurrence, area of occupancy and number of locations. Grevillea kennedyana is listed as Vulnerable under Schedule 2 of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Description The flame spider-flower is an erect, multi-branched shrub, which grows to 1–1.5 m high (occasionally to 2 m). The species has silver-green foliage with linear or (rarely) narrow, lanceolate, rigid leaves which are 5–33 mm long. Inflorescences (clusters of individual flowers) are erect and 2.5–3.5 cm long. The flowers are a conspicuous rich red colour and are 14–21 mm long and occur in later winter-spring. The fruit is a smooth oval shape tapering towards the stem, and is 12–17 mm long (McGillivray & Makinson 1993; Olde & Mariott 1995). Distribution The flame spider-flower occurs over a restricted distribution in the extreme north-west of NSW and far south-west Queensland asscociated with low sparse arid shrubland (BRI Rare and Threatened Plant Database 2001; Duncan 1992; Makinson 2000).

Approved Conservation Advice for Atalaya Collina
This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 16/12/2008 Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Atalaya collina This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Atalaya collina, Family Sapindaceae, also known as Yarwun Whitewood, is a small spreading tree to 5 m with light grey rough bark. Leaves are compound with one or two pairs of glossy green, discolorous, narrowly elliptic leaflets to 7 cm long. Flowers are small, cream, to 8 mm diameter and clustered in dense terminal panicles. Fruit is a single seeded samara (dry winged fruit). It is distinguished from the closely related A. salicifolia and A. multiflora by the leaves with 1 or 2 pairs of usually narrow elliptic leaflets, the larger inflorescences, hairy petals and hairless fruits (Reynolds, 1991; Barry & Thomas, 1994; Harden et al., 2006). Conservation Status Atalaya collina is listed as endangered. This species is eligible for listing as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Atalaya collina is also listed as endangered under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Queensland). Distribution and Habitat Atalaya collina is known from only two populations: west of Gladstone at Yarwun, where only 10 trees of an even age survive, and near Ubobo, west of Miriam Vale, Queensland.

Bardi Plants an Annotated List of Plants and Their Use
H.,c H'cst. /lust JIus lH8f), 12 (:J): :317-:359 BanE Plants: An Annotated List of Plants and Their Use by the Bardi Aborigines of Dampierland, in North-western Australia \!o\a Smith and .\rpad C. Kalotast Abstract This paper presents a descriptive list of the plants identified and used by the BarcE .\borigines of the Dampierland Peninsula, north~\q:stern Australia. It is not exhaust~ ive. The information is presented in two wavs. First is an alphabetical list of Bardi names including genera and species, use, collection number and references. Second is a list arranged alphabetically according to botanical genera and species, and including family and Bardi name. Previous ethnographic research in the region, vegetation communities and aspects of seasonality (I) and taxonomy arc des~ cribed in the Introduction. Introduction At the time of European colonisation of the south~west Kimberley in the mid nineteenth century, the Bardi Aborigines occupied the northern tip of the Dam pierland Peninsula. To their east lived the island-dwelling Djawi and to the south, the ~yulnyul. Traditionally, Bardi land ownership was based on identification with a particular named huru, translated as home, earth, ground or country. Forty-six bum have been identified (Robinson 1979: 189), and individually they were owned by members of a family tracing their ownership patrilineally, and known by the bum name. Collectively, the buru fall into four regions with names which are roughly equivalent to directions: South: Olonggong; North-west: Culargon; ~orth: Adiol and East: Baniol (Figure 1). These four directional terms bear a superficial resemblance to mainland subsection kinship patterns, in that people sometimes refer to themselves according to the direction in which their land lies, and indeed 'there are.

I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.
