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. -

Kirkpatrick (with two tables, four text-figures and one appendix) KIRKPATRICK, J.B., 1999 (31:x): The characteristics and management problems of the vegetation and flora of the Huntingfield area, southern Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 133(1): 103-113. ISSN 0080-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University ofTasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted. If another species had more than half The Huntingfield Estate, approximately 400 ha of forest, the cover ofthe dominant one it was noted as a codominant. -

La distribución y densidad de los individuos dentro de las poblaciones de plantas pueden afectar el éxito reproductivo de sus integrantes. Luego de describir la filogenia de las orquideas del grupo de las Caladeniideas y su biología reproductiva, evaluamos el efecto de la densidad en el éxito reproductivo de la orquídea terrestre Elythranthera brunonis, endémica de Australia del Oeste. El éxito reproductivo de esta orquídea, medido como la deposición y remoción de polinios, fue evaluado. -

Orchid Seed Coat Morphometrics. Molvray and Kores. 1995
American Journal of Botany 82(11): 1443-1454. 1995 . CHARACTER ANALYSIS OF THE SEED COAT IN SPIRANTHOIDEAE AND ORCHIDOIDEAE, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE DIURIDEAE (ORCHIDACEAE)I MIA MOLVRAy2 AND PAUL J. KORES Department of Biological Sciences, Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 Previous work on seed types within Orchidaceae has demonstrated that characters associated with the seed coat may have considerable phylogenetic utility. Application of the se characters has been complicated in practice by the absence of quan titative descriptors and in some instances by their apparent lack of congruity with the taxa under con sideration. Using quantitative descriptors of size and shape, we have demonstrated that some of the existing seed classes do not represent well delimited, discrete entities, and we have proposed new seed classes to meet these criteria. In the spiranthoid-orchidoid complex, the characters yielding the most clearly delimited shape classes are cell number and variability and degree and stochasticity of medial cell elongation. Of lesser, but still appreciable, significance are the pre sence of varying types and degrees of intercellular gaps, and some, but not all, features of cell walls. Four seed classes are evident on the basis of these characters in Spiranthoideae and Orchidoideae. These seed types are briefly described, and their distribution among the taxa examined for this study is reported. It is hoped that these more strictly delimited seed classes will faci litate phylogenetic analysis in the family. Phylogenetic relationships within the Orchidaceae delimitation of the seed coat characters within the two have been discussed extensively in a series of recent pub putatively most primitive subfamilies of monandrous or lications by Garay (1960, 1972), Dressler (1981, 1986, chids and evaluates the util ity of these characters for the 1990a, b, c, 1993), Rasmussen (1982, 1986), Burns-Bal purpose of phylogenetic inference, extends this avenue of ogh and Funk (1986), and Chase et aI. -
