Bennett's Mallee Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on Amendments to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Scientific name (common name) Eucalyptus bennettiae (Bennett’s Mallee) A genetic analysis of Eucalyptus bennettiae confirmed that it is a hybrid between Eucalyptus sporadica and Eucalyptus lehmannii (Walker 2002). 2. Description Bennett’s Mallee is a small mallee up to 2.5 metres in height with smooth bark (WA Herbarium 2005). It has a morphology similar to its two parents, Eucalyptus lehmanii and Eucalyptus sporadica (Brown et al. 1998). It grows on red quartizite rocky slopes and in red loam gullies (Brown et al. 1998; WA Herbarium 2005). It flowers between June and September, and also in December (Kelly et al. 1995). 3. National Context Bennett’s Mallee is endemic to Western Australia, and is known from a small area on the south coast between Albany and Esperance. It occurs near Ravensthorpe and the Fitzgerald River National Park and co-occurs with its parent species, Eucalyptus sporadica and Eucalyptus lehmannii (CALM 2005; Walker 2002). One parent species, Eucalyptus lehmannii, is widely distributed in the south coast region, from west of Albany to east of Esperance. Similarly, the other parent species, Eucalyptus sporadica, is widely distributed in the south coast region from Albany to east of Esperance, and also occurs in parts of the central and eastern wheatbelt. Bennett’s Mallee is not listed under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. The parent species, Eucalyptus lehmanii and Eucalyptus sporadica, are not listed under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 or the EPBC Act. 4. How judged by the Committeein relation to the EPBC Act criteria. The Committee judges that Eucalyptus x bennettiae is not eligible for listing under the EPBC Act for the following reasons: Eucalyptus bennettiae was conventionally accepted to be a species until 2003. In 2003, a genetic analysis of Eucalyptus bennettiae confirmed that it is a hybrid between Eucalyptus lehmannii and Eucalyptus sporadica and does not have any unique genetic identification to differentiate it as a separate species (Walker 2002). As Eucalyptus x bennettiae is a hybrid between Eucalyptus lehmannii and Eucalyptus sporadica, it does not meet the definition of a species under section 528 of the EPBC Act. Therefore, the taxon is not eligible for listing under the EPBC Act. Eucalyptus bennettiae (Bennett’s Mallee) Advice - Page 1 of 3 5. Recommendation The Committee recommends that the list referred to in section 178 of the EPBC Act be amended by deleting from the list in the endangered category: Eucalyptus bennettiae (Bennett’s Mallee) Eucalyptus bennettiae (Bennett’s Mallee) Advice - Page 2 of 3 References cited in the nomination Brown, A., C.

  • Among the Gum Trees Year 4 Biological Sciences
    Fully aligned with theCurriculum Australian Among the gum trees Year 4 Biological sciences About this unit Among the gum trees Eucalypts are an important feature of Australian life, with over 900 species found in almost every corner of the nation. Eucalypts have adapted to survive both drought and bushfire—some rely on extreme heat or smoke to release and germinate seeds. Eucalypts provide shelter and food to many native animals, and some species are the sole food source for koalas. The Among the gum trees unit is an ideal way to link science with literacy in the classroom. Through hands-on investigations, students explore the fruit and flowers of eucalypts, identify how different living things interact with the trees, and plan and conduct an investigation of whether Eucalyptus oil inhibits the germination of plants beneath its canopy or the growth of microorganisms. © Australian Academy of Science 2015.

  • Non-Expressway Master Plant List
    MASTER PLANT LIST GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO PLANT LISTS Plants are living organisms. They possess variety in form, foliage and flower color, visual texture and ultimate size. There is variation in plants of the same species. Plants change: with seasons, with time and with the environment. Yet here is an attempt to categorize and catalogue a group of plants well suited for highway and expressway planting in Santa Clara County. This is possible because in all the existing variety of plants, there still remains a visual, morphological and taxonomical distinction among them. The following lists and identification cards emphasize these distinctions. 1 of 6 MASTER PLANT LIST TREES Acacia decurrens: Green wattle Acacia longifolia: Sydney golden wattle Acacia melanoxylon: Blackwood acacia Acer macrophyllum: Bigleaf maple Aesculus californica: California buckeye Aesculus carnea: Red horsechestnut Ailanthus altissima: Tree-of-heaven Albizia julibrissin: Silk tree Alnus cordata: Italian alder Alnus rhombifolia: White alder Arbutus menziesii: Madrone Calocedrus decurrens: Incense cedar Casuarina equisetifolia: Horsetail tree Casuarina stricta: Coast beefwood Catalpa speciosa: Western catalpa Cedrus deodara: Deodar cedar Ceratonia siliqua: Carob Cinnamomum camphora: Camphor Cordyline australis: Australian dracena Crataegus phaenopyrum: Washington thorn Cryptomeria japonica: Japanese redwood Cupressus glabra: Arizona cypress Cupressus macrocarpa: Monterey cypress Eriobotrya japonica: Loquat Eucalyptus camaldulensis: Red gum Eucalyptus citriodora: Lemon-scented

  • State-Wide Seed Conservation Strategy for Threatened Species, Threatened Communities and Biodiversity Hotspots
    State-wide seed conservation strategy for threatened species, threatened communities and biodiversity hotspots Project 033146a Final Report South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. and Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust July 2008 Prepared by Anne Cochrane Threatened Flora Seed Centre Department of Environment and Conservation Western Australian Herbarium Kensington Western Australia 6983 Summary In 2005 the South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. secured regional competitive component funding from the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust for a three-year project for the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) to coordinate seed conservation activities for listed threatened species and ecological communities and for Commonwealth identified national biodiversity hotspots in Western Australia (Project 033146). This project implemented an integrated and consistent approach to collecting seeds of threatened and other flora across all regions in Western Australia. The project expanded existing seed conservation activities thereby contributing to Western Australian plant conservation and recovery programs. The primary goal of the project was to increase the level of protection of native flora by obtaining seeds for long term conservation of 300 species. The project was successful and 571 collections were made. The project achieved its goals by using existing skills, data, centralised seed banking facilities and international partnerships that the DEC’s Threatened Flora Seed Centre already had in place. In addition to storage of seeds at the Threatened Flora Seed Centre, 199 duplicate samples were dispatched under a global seed conservation partnership to the Millennium Seed Bank in the UK for further safe-keeping. Herbarium voucher specimens for each collection have been lodged with the State herbarium in Perth, Western Australia.

    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.
