The Flora and Vegetation Assessment was completed over three field surveys. From these, a total of 126 flora species, representing 87 genera and 32 families were identified in the Survey Area. The most commonly occurring families were Fabaceae (24 taxa), Chenopodiaceae (10 taxa) and Poaceae (10 taxa). The most frequently recorded genus was Acacia. No Threatened flora were recorded during the field survey. One Priority flora, Corchorus congener (P3) was recorded in abundance across the wider Survey Area including within the Project Envelope. Based on the desktop study, other than C. congener, no other priority flora are considered likely to occur. One potentially new species, Calytrix sp., was recorded in the wider Survey Area and was vouchered at the WA Herbarium for further study. It is likely to receive a phrase name and Priority status in the future. Calytrix sp. only occurred at one location and does not occur in the Project Envelope. Ten vegetation types were described and mapped during the survey. The vegetation types recorded during the survey are considered typical of the Carnarvon bioregion. The most common vegetation type was AgTe, which makes up 37.9 % of the Survey Area. The results from the DBCA Threatened and Priority Ecological Community Database did not identify any TECs or PECs occurring within a 50 km radius of the Project Envelope. Based on a combination of the database searches, desktop study and comparison of vegetation present in the Survey Area with descriptions of known TECs and PECs of the Pilbara Region (DBCA region boundaries) none of the vegetation types recorded during the survey are considered to represent a TEC or PEC. Vegetation condition ranged from Very Good to Completely Degraded. The majority of the Survey Area is considered to be in Very Good condition (82%). Weed diversity was considered low with eight weed species recorded, none of which represent a Declared weed or Weed of National Significance. Abundance of *Cenchrus ciliaris was high across much of the Survey Area, particularly within the drainage lines and along tracks. Other disturbances in the Survey Area includes heavy grazing and trampling by sheep, vehicle tracks and litter. 360 Environmental Pty Ltd ii 2755AD Detailed Flora and Vegetation Assessment, and Targeted Survey Learmonth Pipeline Fabrication Facility Subsea 7 Table of Contents 1 Introduction .................................................................................................. 1 1.1 Background ............................................................................................................ 1 1.2 Objectives and Scope ............................................................................................ 1 2 Environmental Context ................................................................................. 4 2.1 Biophysical Environment ........................................................................................ 4 2.2 Biological Environment ........................................................................................... 5 3 Methods ....................................................................................................... 9 3.1 Desktop Study ....................................................................................................... 9 3.2 Field Surveys ........................................................................................................ 11 4 Results ........................................................................................................15 4.1 Limitations and Constraints ................................................................................. 15 4.2 Desktop Study ..................................................................................................... 17 4.3 Field Survey ......................................................................................................... 19 5 Discussion ...................................................................................................35 5.1 Flora ..................................................................................................................... 35 5.2 Vegetation ............................................................................................................ 36 5.3 ESAs .................................................................................................................... 37 5.4 Regional Representation ...................................................................................... 37 6 Limitations ...................................................................................................38 7 References ..................................................................................................39 List of Tables Table 1: Land Systems within the Survey Area ................................................................. 6 Table 2: Pre-European Vegetation Types within the State and Regional Representation (Government of Western Australia, 2018a) .......................................................... 7 Table 3: Database Search Particulars ............................................................................... 9 Table 4: Limitations and Constraints Associated with the Survey Area.......................... 15 Table 5: Range Extensions of Species Recorded within the Survey Area ....................... 26 Table 6: Introduced Flora Recorded in the Survey Area .................................................. 31 Table 7: Vegetation Type Descriptions and Extent in the Survey Area. .......................... 32 Table 8: Percentage Similarity of Sites within the Survey Area ...................................... 33 Table 9: Vegetation Condition Extent in the Survey Area ............................................... 34 360 Environmental Pty Ltd i 2755AD Detailed Flora and Vegetation Assessment, and Targeted Survey Learmonth Pipeline Fabrication Facility Subsea 7 List of Figures Figure 1: Location of the Survey Area............................................................................... 3 Figure 2: Monthly Rainfall,

Two of the new modems they sent out did not work and each took eight days to arrive by post. It was very frustrating just when I needed the computer to be operational. The weather here has been very erratic. There was no rain in October until the last day when 18mm fell. There were numerous warm days well above the average and I had to water the smaller plants that had just gone in the ground. Normally we would receive about 100mm for the month. The inland members gardens have been experiencing very dry conditions and the possibility of a very hot summer will see many plants needing the addition of moisture. Outback Queensland in particular is in the throes of a severe drought and the Hakeas from that region such as maconochieana, collina and ivoryi will be greatly stressed as well as being prone to damage from goats. Along the east coast from Gippsland to northern NSW there has been plenty of rain and gardens have been subject to very wet conditions. In Western Australia Jennifer Young has reported that good winter rains have transformed the northern sand plains into a blaze of flowering plants from Exmouth to Kalbarri. Our garden in Colac continues to thrive.

  • Chenopodioideae, Chenopodiaceae/ Amaranthaceae): Implications for Evolution and Taxonomy
    Fruit and Seed Anatomy of Chenopodium and Related Genera (Chenopodioideae, Chenopodiaceae/ Amaranthaceae): Implications for Evolution and Taxonomy Alexander P. Sukhorukov1,2*, Mingli Zhang1,3 1 Key Laboratory of Biogeography and Bioresource in Arid Land, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China, 2 Department of Higher Plants, Biological Faculty, Moscow Lomonosov State University, Moscow, Russia, 3 Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China Abstract A comparative carpological study of 96 species of all clades formerly considered as the tribe Chenopodieae has been conducted for the first time. The results show important differences in the anatomical structure of the pericarp and seed coat between representatives of terminal clades including Chenopodium s.str.+Chenopodiastrum and the recently recognized genera Blitum, Oxybasis and Dysphania. Within Chenopodium the most significant changes in fruit and seed structure are found in members of C. sect. Skottsbergia. The genera Rhagodia and Einadia differ insignificantly from Chenopodium. The evolution of heterospermy in Chenopodium is discussed. Almost all representatives of the tribe Dysphanieae are clearly separated from other Chenopodioideae on the basis of a diverse set of characteristics, including the small dimensions of the fruits (especially in Australian taxa), their subglobose shape (excl. Teloxys and Suckleya), and peculiarities of the pericarp indumentum. The set of fruit and seed characters evolved within the subfamily Chenopodioideae is described. A recent phylogenetic hypothesis is employed to examine the evolution of three (out of a total of 21) characters, namely seed color, testa-cell protoplast characteristics and embryo orientation.
