    Flora and fauna assessment for the Calingiri study area Prepared for Muchea to Wubin Integrated Project Team (Main Roads WA, Jacobs and Arup) 5.3 FIELD SURVEY 5.3.1 Flora and vegetation A total of 296 plant taxa (including subspecies and varieties) representing 154 genera and 55 families were recorded in the study area. This total is comprised of 244 (82.4%) native species and 52 (17.6%) introduced (weed) species, and included 60 annual, 223 perennial species, one species that is known to be either annual or perennial and 12 unknown life cycles (Appendix 8). The current survey recorded a similar number of species to previous flora surveys conducted along GNH and higher average diversity (average number of taxa per km) (Table 5-7).

    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.

More than a century passed before another key to the Australian genera appeared (Johnson & Briggs 1983), this time with 75 genera and 11 informal groups that were intended to be equivalent to tribes. In 2005 a new formal classification for the Myrtaceae (Wilsonet al. 2005) increased the number of tribes recognised in Australia to 151, but this paper did not include any keys. Approximately 85 Australian genera are now recognised, including 30 endemic to Western Australia. Ten tribes are represented in Western Australia and, since mid 2009, 54 genera have been listed for the State on FloraBase (Western Australian Herbarium 1998–).

  • Management and Restoration of Native Grassy Woodland in the Midlands Of
    Management and restoration of native grassy woodland in the Midlands of ..I Tasmania by ~ob~,k Andrew Zacharek B. Sc., Grad. Dip. Env. Stud. (Hons) f\. Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania Hobart March 1997 i Declaration This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except when due reference is made in the text. Andrew Zacharek ii Abstract This thesis examines the effects of agricultural and conservation management practices on grassy communities in the sub-humid, low altitude Midlands of Tasmania. The results of an extensive survey were examined to assess the effects of grazing by sheep and cattle, fertilisation and the introduction of exotic pasture species on the grassy communities. Sites were classified according to the degree of pasture conversion and the level of the main limiting nutrient phosphorus, by annual rainfall and by geological substrate. Exotic species replaced native species with increasing degrees of pasture conversion and levels of phosphorus. Effects of management varied rainfall and different geological substrates. Raunkiaer life-form groups were a useful aid in the identification of patterns of species' responses. Exotic therophytes and flat/versatile rosette hemicryptophytes were the most invasive exotic life-forms in native communities. The native species in the flat/versatile rosette and caespitose hemicryptophyte life-form groups were the most tolerant of disturbance.

Citation This notice may be cited as the Wildlife Conservation (Rare Flora) Notice 2014. 2. Interpretation In this notice— “extant” means known to be living in a wild state; “protected flora” means any flora belonging to the classes of flora declared by the Minister under section 6 of the Act to be protected flora by notice published in the Gazette 9 October 1987, at p. 3855; “taxon” includes any taxon that is described by a genus name and any other name or description. Note: The plural form of “taxon” is “taxa”. 3. Rare flora Subject to clause 4, protected flora— (a) specified in Schedule 1, being taxa that are extant and considered likely to become extinct or rare and therefore in need of special protection; and (b) specified in Schedule 2, being taxa that are presumed to be extinct in the wild and therefore in need of special protection, are declared to be rare flora for the purposes of section 23F of the Act throughout the State. 4. Application Clause 3 does not apply to those plants of a taxon of protected flora specified in Schedule 1 or 2 that have been planted for any purpose other than such plants that have been planted for the purpose of conservation of that taxon and in accordance with approval given by the Director General. 5. Revocation The Wildlife Conservation (Rare Flora) Notice 2013 is revoked.

Rye, Reinstatement of Ericomyrtus (Myrtaceae) 131 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 25: 131–143 Published online 1 May 2015 Reinstatement of Ericomyrtus (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae), with three new combinations Barbara L. Rye Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Abstract Rye, B.L. Reinstatement of Ericomyrtus (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae), with three new combinations. Nuytsia 25: 131–143 (2015).

In Bentham’s treatment, the type species of Ericomyrtus was described under a misapplied name, while two related species were treated using synonyms as Bentham was unaware of their original names. This very unsatisfactory state of the group’s nomenclature has persisted to the present day, except that a phrase name, Baeckea sp.
