SUMMARY OZ Minerals Golden Grove Ltd are investigating site options for a new ‘life of mine’ Tailings Storage Facility No.3 (TSF3) as the capacity of the current Tailings Storage Facility No.2 (TSF2) is diminishing. Three locations have been analysed against environmental, economic and anthropological factors. Site B and D are two of these locations and have been examined within this survey. The sites are 136 and 122 hectares respectively. Note: Site A is located to the south west of these sites in an area west of TSF1 and not in the scope of this report. Yilgarn Traders was commissioned by OZ Minerals Ltd to undertake vegetation mapping and a flora survey of 630 hectares of their leases at Golden Grove situated between Paynes Find and Yalgoo. An initial autumn survey (Yilgarn Traders, June 2008) of Site B & D was conducted after heavy rains. A second survey during spring also spanned into areas north of these sites in order to put Site B & D into context with the northern flora (630 hectares). To the west of this site lies a Banded Iron formation (BIF) hill, this area was outside of the survey area. Two priority taxa as defined by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (2008); Acacia speckii and Calytrix uncinata were located within both Site B and D. These species are currently Priority 3 taxa. A third annual Priority 3 species; Gunniopsis rubra was located in the northern survey area outside of Site B and D. Sites B and D overlapped and contained the same population of Calytrix uncinata consisting of 78 individuals. Calytrix uncinata commonly occurs throughout Golden Grove’s leases with 18 populations recorded, estimated to contain thousands of plants. Impacting this population would have a low effect on this taxon’s local conservational significance. Impacting Acacia speckii would remove 13% of Golden Grove’s four known populations in Site B and 18% in Site D. Ascertaining Acacia speckii’s conservational significance regionally is recommended. Site D abuts a BIF hill and adverse effects to the BIF vegetation such as dust accumulation from the surface of the Tailings Storage Facility 3 should be taken into account and adequate management strategies ensured. Over the entire survey site 19 different vegetation associations were recorded with 219 vascular plants identified; half of these are only apparent during winter and spring. The mapped associations consisted of 80% Acacia shrublands located mainly throughout the plains and drainage lines. Thryptomene heaths with emergent shrubs were found growing on low ridges and hardpans. Chenopod heaths with salt tolerant shrubs occurred throughout the lower plains in depressions. The associations mapped were strongly connected to their topography and soil type. Twelve different vegetation associations were mapped within Site B and D. 3 Yilgarn Traders Golden Grove –Flora survey & vegetation mapping for TSF3 footprint- Site B&D and February 2009 northern areas.

Chinnock State Herbarium, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 and P. Hudson 13 James Street, Whyalla Norrie, South Australia 5608 Abstract A naturally occurring putative hybrid betweenEremophila oppositifoliaR.Br. andE. scoparia (R.Br.) F.Muell. was found at Whyalla, South Australia. The hybrid is morphologically intermediate in most characters between the two species and has a much increased pollen sterility. Illustrations, and a tabulated comparison, of the more important vegetative, floral and fruit features are provided for the hybrid and its parents. Introduction In June 1976, when assisting in the erection of a fence to enclose the newly established fauna park just west of Whyalla, one of the authors (P. H.) noted an Eremophila close to the western fenceline. The solitary plant was growing in association with Eremophila scoparia ( R. Br.) F. Muell. and E. oppositifolia R.Br. var. oppositifolia in an open Acacia sowdenii woodland on red sandy clay loam. Other common shrubs included A triplex vesicaria Hew. ex Benth.

    DRAFT 25/10/90; plant list updated Oct. 1992; notes added June 2021. PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF OPEN COUNTRY PADDOCK, BOOLARDY STATION Allan H. Burbidge and J.K. Rolfe INTRODUCTION Boolardy Station is situated about 150 km north of Yalgoo and 140 km west-north-west of Cue, in the Shire of Murchison, Western Australia. Open Country Paddock (about 16 000 ha) is in the south-east corner of the station, at 27o05'S, 116o50'E. The most prominent named feature is Coolamooka Hill, near the eastern boundary of the paddock. There are no conservation reserves in this region, although there are some small reserves set aside for various other purposes. Previous biological data for the station consist of broad scale vegetation mapping and land system mapping. Beard (1976) mapped the entire Murchison region at 1: 1 000 000. The Open Country Paddock area was mapped as supporting mulga woodlands and shrublands. More detailed mapping of land system units for rangeland assessment purposes has been carried out more recently at a scale of 1: 40 000 (Payne and Curry in prep.). Seven land systems were identified in open Country Paddock (Fig. 1). Apart from these studies, no detailed biological survey work appears to have been done in the area. Open Country Paddock has been only lightly grazed by domestic stock because of the presence of Kite-leaf Poison (Gastrolobium laytonii) and a lack of fresh water. Because of this and the generally good condition of the paddock and presence of a wide range of plant species, P.J.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A survey of the flora and floristic communities of the Weld Range, in the Murchison region of Western Australia, was undertaken using classification and ordination analysis of quadrat data. A total of 239 taxa (species, subspecies and varieties) and five hybrids of vascular plants were collected and identified from within the survey area. Of these, 229 taxa were native and 10 species were introduced. Eight priority species were located in this survey, six of these being new records for the Weld Range. Although no species endemic to the Weld Range were located in this survey, new populations of three priority listed taxa were identified which represent significant range extensions for these taxa of conservation significance. Eight floristic community types (six types, two of these subdivided into two subtypes each) were identified and described for the Weld Range, with the primary division in the classification separating a dolerite-associated floristic community from those on banded iron formation. Floristic communities occurring on BIF were found to be associated with topographic relief, underlying geology and soil chemistry. There did not appear to be any restricted communities within the landform, but some communities may be geographically restricted to the Weld Range. Because these communities on the Weld Range are so closely associated with topography and substrate, they are vulnerable to impact from mineral exploration and open cast mining.

Dillon Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Email: [email protected] Abstract Dillon, S.J. Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara of Western Australia. Nuytsia 24: 103–108 (2014). A new species of Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight, G. saxicola S.J.Dillon, is described. An amendment to an existing key of Grevillea is provided to include the new taxon, which has conservation priority. Introduction Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight is the third largest genus in Western Australia with 348 taxa, 14 of which occur in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The last revision of the genus was by Makinson (2000) and since that time a further c. 20 taxa have been added to the census of Western Australian plants (Western Australian Herbarium 1998–). Close examination of several Grevillea collections from the southern Pilbara revealed a distinct new taxon that had been previously ascribed to either G. nematophylla F.Muell. or G. berryana Ewart & Jean White. This finding was supported by more recent collections and this new species is described here as G. saxicola S.J.Dillon. Methods Descriptions and measurements are based on dried herbarium specimens held at the Western Australian Herbarium. When possible, up to five flowers were re-hydrated from each specimen for floral examination.
