IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. CALM is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from November 2003 to October 2008 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full Recovery Plan assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 3 February 2004 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 22 July 2004. The allocation of staff time and provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting CALM, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate in November 2003. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The following people have provided assistance and advice in the preparation of this Interim Recovery Plan: Andrew Crawford Manager, the Department's Threatened Flora Seed Centre Amanda Godfrey Land Conservation Coordinator, Cunderdin/Tammin LCDC Amanda Shade Horticulturist, Botanic Garden and Parks Authority Kate Brunt Conservation Officer, The Department’s Merredin District Thanks also to the staff of the W.A. Herbarium for providing access to Herbarium databases and specimen information, and the Department's Wildlife Branch for assistance. 2 Interim Recovery Plan for Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna SUMMARY Scientific Name: Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna Common Name: Large-fruited Tammin Wattle Family: Mimosaceae Flowering Period: June to September Dept Region: Wheatbelt Dept District: Merredin Shires: Cunderdin and Tammin Recovery Team: Merredin District Threatened Flora Recovery Team (MDTFRT) Illustrations and/or further information: B.R. Maslin, (1995) Nuytsia Vol. 12 (3), pp 323-325; A. Brown, C. Thomson- Dans and N. Marchant (Eds) (1998) Western Australia’s Threatened Flora; Flora of Australia Volume 11A, Mimosaceae Acacia part 1. Melbourne: ABRS/CSIRO Publishing (2001). History and current status: Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna was first collected in 1889. Surveys since that time have located 14 populations and a total of 204 plants on road verges and private property over a range of 15 km south of Tammin and Cunderdin. However, as all are small and highly threatened, the subspecies was declared as Rare Flora and ranked as Critically Endangered in July 1998. It currently meets World Conservation Union Red List Category ‘EN’ under criteria B1ab(iii,iv,v)+B2ab(iii,iv,v); C2a(i); D (IUCN, 2000) due to its small geographic range, the severe fragmentation of populations and continuing decline in the area, extent and quality of habitat, the number of populations and the number of mature individuals; its population size estimated to be fewer than 2500 mature individuals, a continuing decline in the number of mature individuals and no subpopulation estimated to contain more than 250 mature individuals; and total population size less than 250 mature individuals. Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna is also listed as Endangered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The main threats are road maintenance, weed invasion, restricted habitat, poor recruitment, inappropriate fire regimes and grazing. A draft Interim Recovery Plan (IRP) was prepared for the species in 1998 (Evans and Brown 1998). Additional information collected since then has been incorporated into this plan. Description: Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna is a ground-hugging, sprawling, leafless shrub, up to 30 cm high and 50 cm across with weak, ascending to erect stems. Branches are flattened or angled at their extremities. Phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks that resemble the stems), mostly 4 to 6 cm long by 1.6 to 2 mm wide, are somewhat coarse. The yellow flowers borne from June to September are in heads 7 to 9 mm in diameter and are held on stalks 4 to 7 mm long. Habitat requirements: Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna grows in predominantly shallow grey-brown gravelly sands over laterite in heath, shrub mallee and low woodland. Associated species include Allocasuarina campestris, Xanthorrhoea preissii, Eucalyptus macrocarpa and several species of Dryandra, Hakea and Acacia within the habitat. Two other species of Declared Rare Flora - Hakea aculeata and Acacia subflexuosa subsp. capillata, ranked as Endangered and Critically Endangered respectively, are found in the area of some populations of A. ataxiphylla subsp. magna. Critical habitat: The critical habitat for Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna comprises the area of occupancy of known populations; similar habitat within 200 metres of known populations; corridors of remnant vegetation that link populations and additional nearby occurrences of similar habitat that do not currently contain the species but may have done so and may be suitable for translocations. Habitat critical to the survival of the species, and important populations: Given that this subspecies is listed as Endangered, it is considered that all known habitat for wild and translocated populations is habitat critical to its survival, and that all wild and translocated populations are important populations. Benefits to other species or ecological communities: Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna occurs with Acacia subflexuosa subsp. capillata (ranked as Critically Endangered in Western Australia and Endangered by the Commonwealth) at one site and Hakea aculeata (ranked as Endangered in Western Australia and Vulnerable by the Commonwealth) at another site. Recovery actions implemented to improve the quality or security of the habitat of Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna will also improve the status of both Acacia subflexuosa subsp. capillata and Hakea aculeata. International obligations: This plan is fully consistent with the aims and recommendations of the Convention on Biological Diversity, ratified by Australia in June 1993, and will assist in implementing Australia’s responsibilities under that convention. The taxon is not listed under any specific international treaty, however, and therefore this IRP does not affect Australia’s obligations under any other international agreements. Role and interests of indigenous people: There are no listed indigenous sites in the vicinity of the taxon. Input and involvement will be sought from any indigenous groups that have an active interest in areas that are habitat for Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna, and this is discussed in the recovery actions. 3 Interim Recovery Plan for Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna Social and economic impact: Several populations of Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna occur on private land and there is some potential for limited social and economic impact. However, recovery actions will involve liaison and cooperation with all stakeholders. Evaluation of the Plan’s Performance: The Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM), in conjunction with the Merredin District Threatened Flora Recovery Team (MDTFRT) will evaluate the performance of this IRP. In addition to annual reporting on progress and evaluation against the criteria for success and failure, the plan will be reviewed following five years of implementation. Existing Recovery Actions: The following recovery actions have been or are currently being implemented – 1. Relevant land managers have been made aware of the location and threatened status of the subspecies. 2. Surveys have been conducted to locate new populations. 3. Markers that define populations have been installed and maintained. 4. Approximately 3,017 seeds collected from four populations in November 1998 and November 2001 are stored in CALM’S Threatened Flora Seed Centre at –18°C. 5. The Botanic Garden and Parks Authority currently have one plant of Acacia ataxiphylla subsp. magna in their nursery. 6. Information on the taxon was forwarded to threatened flora volunteers in the Shire of Quairading through CALM’s Narrogin District Office. 7. Discussions have been held with staff from the Shire of Cunderdin regarding the possible installation of bollards to protect plants in Subpopulation 2a from vehicle damage. 8. Fencing is currently being erected around Subpopulation 2b. 9. Information on the use of covenants for populations on private property has been disseminated. 10. Mills Road has been nominated as a ‘Flora Road’ by the Shire of Cunderdin. One Declared Rare Flora species and

  • Conservation Advice Acacia Subflexuosa Subsp. Capillata
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister’s delegate approved this conservation advice on 01/10/2015 Conservation Advice Acacia subflexuosa subsp. capillata hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle Conservation Status Acacia subflexuosa subsp. capillata (hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle) is listed as Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act). The species is eligible for listing as endangered as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The main factors that are the cause of the species being eligible for listing in the endangered category are a restricted extent of occurrence and a low number of mature individuals (Harris and Brown, 2003). In 1998, the subspecies was listed as Rare Flora and Critically Endangered in Western Australia (Wildlife Conservation Act 1950). Description The hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle is a rounded shrub (Brown et al., 1998) to 1 m tall with thickened, sharply-pointed phyllodes, 3 to 4 cm long and 1 to 1.5 mm wide (Harris and Brown, 2003). Flowers are in yellow globular heads (Orchard and Wilson, 2001), on 4 to 6 mm long stalks and appear from August to November (Brown et al., 1998; Cowan & Maslin 1999). Pods are narrow and coiled, 4 cm long and 2 mm wide. Distribution The hairy-stemmed zig-zag wattle is endemic to the Cunderdin-Tammin area of Western Australia where it occurs over a range of less than 5 km (Orchard and Wilson, 2001).

  • Vegetation, Flora and Recommendations for Conservation Management of Jingaring Nature Reserve: a “Botanical Gem” in the Western Australian Wheat-Belt
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 84: 53-61, 2001 Vegetation, flora and recommendations for conservation management of Jingaring Nature Reserve: A “botanical gem” in the Western Australian wheat-belt. F J Obbens, R W Davis & L W Sage Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre WA 6983 (received February 1999, accepted December 2000) Abstract The significance of larger remnants at retaining local bio-diversity in an essentially cleared and fragmented agricultural landscape is generally accepted, but small intact remnants also contribute significantly to overall bio-diversity. This was highlighted by our comprehensive survey of vascular flora of Jingaring Nature Reserve, which included every season over a two-year period. The exceptionally diverse flora of this relatively undis- turbed wheatbelt remnant identified six distinct communities encompassing heaths and woodlands. Over 260 vascular species were recorded, including two rare, five priority and a number of species of special interest from 51 families. Weeds accounted for 27 species, but the extent of invasion is relatively low. The known limit of many species’ distributions occur near or at the reserve and this may be an evolutionary artefact of significant impor- tance. Higher species diversity per unit area was recorded compared to other unpublished surveys of larger areas around this district. Several management issues are of concern for Jingaring Nature Reserve including protection of rare and priority flora, weed invasion, fire management and damage caused by unauthorised access. Eradication of rabbits and localised weed control around rabbit warrens in the reserve should result in regeneration of these areas.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian 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. 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. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.
