CALM Strategic Development and Corporate Affairs Division ii FOREWORD Western Australian Wildlife Management Programs are a series of publications produced by the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM). The programs are prepared in addition to Regional Management Plans, and species Recovery and Interim Recovery Plans to provide information and guidance for the management and protection of certain exploited or threatened species. This program provides a brief description of the appearance, distribution, habitat and conservation status of flora declared as rare under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act (Threatened Flora) and possibly threatened poorly known flora (Priority Flora) in CALM's Warren Region and makes recommendations for research and management actions that are necessary to ensure their continued survival. By ranking Threatened Flora in priority order for recovery action, Departmental staff and resources can be allocated to taxa most urgently in need of attention. Priority Flora that are under consideration for declaration are dealt with to a lesser extent than Declared Rare Flora, however, the information provided here should assist in the ongoing work of assessing the conservation status of these taxa. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people to be thanked for their assistance in this review of the declared rare and poorly known flora of the Warren Region. We are indebted to community members of the Warren Region Threatened Flora Recovery Team and CALM volunteers, Betty Carpenter, Ted Middleton, Gloria Jackson and the late Brenda Hammersley and Bill Jackson, for their enthusiastic contributions to team meetings, their knowledgeable field observations and taxonomic contributions, and for their years of assistance with the field work that has gone into the review; to volunteers, Cynthia Annels for assistance with field work, George Gardner, and Steve and Ryan Phillips for their contribution to locating populations of taxa of interest and to Brian Best (WA Herbarium volunteer) for his assistance with mosses and liverworts. Neville Marchant facilitated access to the WA Herbarium and its staff and provided discussion on Chamelaucium; Barbara Rye assisted with a range of taxa, as did Sue Patrick, Brendan Lepschi, Diana Papenfus, Alex Chapman, Ray Cranfield, Suzanne Curry and Nicki Robinson. Judy Wheeler made available her extensive species descriptions for the Flora of the South West and suggested a number of taxa needing review (many now included in the report). Beng Siew Mahon assisted with finding many original species descriptions and Chang Sha Fang, Sue Carroll, Meriel Falconer, Kaye Veryard, Phil Spencer and a number of herbarium volunteers assisted in processing the many voucher specimens originating from fieldwork associated with the review. Our thanks to Kath Meney (Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority) for her assistance with many unpublished restiads and likewise Barbara Briggs (Sydney), to Kristina Lemson for extensive assistance with Andersonia, Kelly Shephard for assistance with Thomasia and Lasiopetalum, Malcolm Trudgen with Astartea and Baeckea, Karen Wilson (Sydney) for her assistance in identifying various species in the Cyperaceae, Barry Conn (Sydney) for assistance with Hemiandra and Mitreola, Jenny Hart (Sydney) for assistance with several species in the Apiaceae and Arthur Weston for locations and observations on a number of taxa. To Greg Keighery, Neil Gibson and Grant Wardell-Johnson for assistance with new taxa and population locations arising from their biogeographical and floristic work. To CALM staff from the two Warren districts and staff from Katanning (Wheatbelt region) and Albany (South Coast region) who have contributed to field surveys. In particular we would like to thank Ian Wilson, Erica Shedley, Simon Watkin (also as a consultant), Murray Carter, Mal Graham, Brian Whitred, Rod Annear, Carl Beck, Greg Freebury and Lawrie Anderson. Finally thanks to Verna Tunsell for her assistance with databasing and preparation of voucher specimens for lodging at the herbarium and editing of the first draft of this document. iv ABBREVIATIONS Non standard abbreviations used through the document: 5g CALM Act Section 5 g Reserve CLM CALM DoE Department of Environment DON Donnelly District FRA Frankland District MRWA Main Roads Western Australia ms manuscript (unpublished name) na not assessed NP National Park NR Nature Reserve PP Private Property River R River Reserve RR Road Reserve SHRes Shire Reserve SCR South Coast Region SF State Forest TR Timber Reserve UCL Unallocated Crown Land WR Water Reserve VCL Vacant Crown Land Other abbreviations retain their standard usage.

Brown July 2003 Department of Conservation and Land Management Western Australian Threatened Species and Communities Unit PO Box 51, Wanneroo, WA 6946. Interim Recovery Plan for Caladenia drakeoides FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (the Department) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. 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. The Department 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, which replaces IRP 29 (Drakonorchis drakeoides ms) will operate from July 2003 to June 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 will be assessed. This IRP was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 21 July, 2003. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities.

  • 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.
