    Gembrook Park Flora and Fauna Reserve

    Gembrook Park Flora and Fauna Reserve Nature trail notes and information Gembrook Park is a superb example of a damp forest vegetation community with spectacular mountain grey gums, mountain ash, and messmate stringy bark trees towering overhead. The park is about 29 hectares but was originally part of a 259-hectare reserve founded by the former Zoological and Acclimatisation Society in 1873. In 1906, the land was temporarily reserved after numerous petitions from local residents and was gazetted as a permanent reserve two years later. If you would like to learn more about the park or would like to get involved and help complete various conservation projects you can join the Friends of Gembrook Park. For more information or details of how to join the ‘friends’ group, contact Cardinia Shire Council on 1300 787 624. 1. Animal haven Gembrook Park is home to many mammals, birds, insects, reptiles and amphibians. One of the most abundant is the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus), particularly in the more exposed areas, which favour the growth of grasses and other food plants. A wombat can live in as many as four to five burrows, which can be as deep as 2–3 metres. Keep a look out for wombat diggings, burrows, and scats (droppings) along both the Fern Gully and Hillside loop walking tracks. Wandering creeper (Tradescantia fluminensis). 2. Overseas trees Look around – can you find the ‘visitors’ from overseas? Friends of Gembrook Park is working to reduce weeds These two redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens) and return this reserve to native forest. You can do originated from North America and the species is your bit by removing these plants from your garden and known to be the tallest growing in the world.

BRoyal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Private Bag 2000, South Yarra, Vic. 3141, Australia. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Acacia verniciflua A.Cunn. and A. leprosa Sieber ex DC. are believed to be closely related, although strict interpretation of the current sectional classification of subgenus Phyllodineae places them in separate sections based on main nerve number. Six populations, comprised of the common and the southern variants of A. verniciflua and the large phyllode variant of A. leprosa, were sampled to test the value of nerve number as a taxonomic character and the current delimitation of these geographically variable species. Morphometrics, microscopy and the AFLP technique were used to compare and contrast populations. Phyllode nerve development was investigated and the abaxial nerve was found to be homologous with the mid-rib of a simple leaf. Three taxa were differentiated, two that are consistently two-nerved and one taxon that is variably one-nerved, two-nerved or both within a single plant. The first two-nerved taxon, characterised by smaller phyllodes, matches the type specimen of A. verniciflua. The second two-nerved taxon, characterised by large phyllodes, is apparently endemic to Mt William. The third taxon, with variable main nerve number, also has large phyllodes, and combines large phyllode variant A.

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.
