E. & Hislop, M. A revision of Dielsiodoxa (Ericaceae: Styphelioideae: Oligarrheneae). Nuytsia 21(3): 107–126 (2011). The genus Dielsiodoxa Albr., endemic to south-west Western Australia, is revised. The genus includes three previously named species, D. leucantha (E.Pritz.) Albr., D. oligarrhenoides (F.Muell.) Albr. and D. tamariscina (F.Muell.) Albr. A neotype is designated for the former species and a lectotype for the latter species. Three new taxa are described with accompanying scanned images: D. lycopodioides Albr., D. propullulans Albr. and D. leucantha subsp. obtusa Hislop & Albr. Descriptions, a distribution map and a key to all taxa are provided. Introduction In a recent paper Albrecht et al. (2010) erected a new genus Dielsiodoxa Albr. to accommodate three Western Australian species previously included within Monotoca R.Br. Based on morphological and molecular data they place Dielsiodoxa in the Oligarrheneae Crayn & Quinn as a sister to Oligarrhena R.Br. Dielsiodoxa is distinguished from Oligarrhena in having a 5-lobed corolla that is not laterally compressed (cf. consistently 4-lobed and laterally compressed in Oligarrhena), the lobes widely spreading at anthesis and lacking adaxial sub-marginal flaps (cf.

    Shannon and D’Entrecasteaux National Parks Management Plan No. 71 2012 R N V E M E O N G T E O H F T W A E I S L T A E R R N A U S T SHANNON AND D’ENTRECASTEAUX NATIONAL PARKS Management Plan 2012 Department of Environment and Conservation Conservation Commission of Western Australia VISION By the year 2022, the natural and cultural values of the parks are in the same or better condition than in the year 2012 and there will be a greater understanding of the threats and impacts on these values. The parks will continue to support a wide range of nature-based recreational activities that are compatible with the conservation values whilst preserving the remote nature and wilderness values of the parks. The local community as well as the wider community will highly value the parks and will want to be involved in their protection and conservation. The Indigenous cultural heritage of the parks will be kept alive and promoted by active and ongoing involvement of the traditional owners who will have been able to reconnect with and care for their country. i PREFACE All national parks, conservation parks and nature reserves in Western Australia are vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. The Department of Environment and Conservation, in accordance with the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984, carries out the management of these reserves and prepares management plans on behalf of the Conservation Commission. The Conservation Commission issues draft management plans for public comment and provides final management plans for approval by the Minister for Environment.
