Wednesday Walk to Big Badja – 21 January 2009 Big Badja is part of the Great Dividing Range and provides 360 degree views. The summit is about 1400m above sea level. We drove to Pikes Saddle on the Krawaree Road then walked the Badja fire trail to the turn off to the summit where we had lunch. We saw a number of Persoonia species in flower – P. asperula, P. chamaepeuce, P. silvatica - as we walked through eucalypt forest – mainly E. fraxinoides and E. radiata. Also flowering were Grevillea oxyantha, Epacris robusta, Westringia ? eremicola and Prostanthera lasianthos.

(National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, N.S. W., Australia 2000) 1980. N otes on Australian Taxa o Acacia f No. 6: Telopea 1(6): 429-449. PL XVIII-XXV .—Six new species of Acacia (Family Mimosaceae) from Eastern Australia are described, viz. Acacia constablei Tindale, A. costiniana Tindale, A. covenyi Tindale, A. floydii Tindale, A. georgensis Tindale and A. kydrensis Tindale. A note on A. lucasii W. F. Blakely is provided. INTRODUCTION Six new species of Acacia are described so that they may appear prior to the forthcoming census of the Gymnosperms and Angiosperms of New South Wales. The new taxa are classified according to the recent scheme of Pedley (1978), all being members of subgenus Heterophyllum Vassal. Reference is also made to their position in the classifications by Bentham (1864) and Maiden and Betche (1916), as they have been widely used. The fiavonoid pattern of the heartwood is cited, where it is known. SECT. BOTRYCEPHALAE (Benth.) Taub. Acacia constablei Tindale, sp. nov.

Wednesday Walk — Nursery Swamp, Namadgi National Park — 19 April 2017
Wednesday Walk — Nursery Swamp, Namadgi National Park — 19 April 2017 Walks with ‘swamp’ in their names usually bring to mind open flat countryside accessed by gentle slopes, but that expectation can be put aside for Nursery Swamp. It lies at an elevation of 1150 metres and when we left the carpark on Orroral Road, we began a steep climb over smooth granite boulders and up flights of grassy steps. The vegetation there was mostly tall shrubs, predominantly Bursaria spinosa ssp. lasiophylla and Banksia marginata. Sadly, many of the Banksias were dead or dying, although others looked perfectly healthy. There was enough open space for grasses to flourish— mostly Kangaroo Grass (Themeda triandra), a species we tend to associate mainly with grasslands but which we’ve come across in many high and rocky places. Higher up, the walk became a little less steep but continued on a steadily upward trajectory along a hillside. The lower side was a moist gully with Candlebarks (Eucalyptus rubida) and Ribbon Gums (E. viminalis) sheltering Bracken (Pteridium esculentum), daisy bushes — mostly Cassinia longifolia but also a few Ozothamnus stirlingii — and several species of heath plants. These included Brachyloma daphnoides and several Beard Heaths (Leucopogon fletcheri, L. microphylla var. pilibundus and L. virgatus) as well as a few small carpets of Acrotriche serrulata and some Monotoca scoparia just beginning to flower. Most of these understorey plants were also growing on the higher side of the path, a drier slope shaded by Broad-leaved Peppermint (Eucalyptus dives) and Brown Barrel (E. fastigata) and a few Blackwood Wattles (Acacia melanoxylon).

Biodiversity Summary: Wimmera, Victoria
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.

Plant List for Mongarlowe Cemetery, Roadside and Half Moon Creek Roadside – 4 March 2015
Wednesday Walk in the Mongarlowe Area – 4 March 2015 Mongarlowe is a small township east of Braidwood. The cemetery has a surprising number of native species in it including the rare orchid – Corunastylis oligantha, the Mongarlowe Midge Orchid. We saw a number of orchids species - Eriochilus cucullatus, several Corunastylis species, Diplodium truncatum, Speculantha sp. and Spiranthes australis. Other plants of interest were - flowering - Mirbelia platylobioides, Solenogyne gunnii, Boronia nana var. hyssopifolia, Helichrysum rutidolepis, Epacris microphylla, Chrysocephalum apiculatum, Comesperma ericinum, Monotoca scoparia, Poranthera microphylla, Lobelia pedunculata and Goodenia hederacea. In addition, but not flowering were Lomatia ilicifolia, Patersonia sericea, Persoonia chamaepeuce, Gompholobium minus, Leptospermum obovatum and Euphrasia collina. We then moved on to a roadside stop on Charley's Forest Rd, just out of the town of Mongarlowe where some more corunastylis were found and some other flowers - Goodenia bellidifolia, Coronidium oxylepis ssp. lanatum, Rhytidosporum procumbens, Wahlenbergia multicaulis - also Hakea laevipes, Allocasuarina nana, Kunzea parvifolia, Dampiera stricta, Isopogon prostratus, Acacia trachyphloia. We decided to go down Half Moon Creek Road to have lunch and look at the roadside and were pleased that we did. The vegetation was very much Allocasuarina nana heath and a bit impenetrable. However, a scout found Pomaderris pauciflora - several plants. We have only seen this before on our Mulloon Creek trips where there is one plant near Bombay Reserve. Other new species found for the day were Patersonia longifolia, Mitrasacme polymorpha (flowering), Chloanthes parviflora, Cryptandra amara var. floribunda (in bud), Allocasuarina littoralis, Caesia parviflora (flowering), Comesperma sphaerocarpum (flowering), Eucalyptus sieberi, Banksia spinulosa (flowering), Leionema diosmeum, Persoonia mollis, Gleichenia dicarpa to name a few.
