Rye, Placement of three names in Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae 269 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 29: 269–270 Published online 13 December 2018 SHORT COMMUNICATION Placement of three names in Cyathostemon, Hysterobaeckea and Oxymyrrhine (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae) Baeckea benthamii Trudgen ms, in G. Paczkowska & A.R. Chapman, West. Austral. Fl.: Descr. Cat. p. 346 (2000); Western Australian Herbarium, in FloraBase, https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/ [accessed 6 April 2018]. Notes. This name was recently treated as a synonym of Hysterobaeckea setifera Rye, but was accidently placed under H. setifera subsp. meridionalis Rye (Rye 2018: 77, 104). It is in fact a synonym of H. setifera subsp. setifera. Baeckea uncinella Benth. var. gracilis W.E.Blackall, in W.E. Blackall & B.J. Grieve, How Know W. Austral. Wildfl. 1: 288 (1954), nom. inval. Notes. This name, which is a synonym of Oxymyrrhine gracilis Schauer, was overlooked when Oxymyrrhine Schauer was last revised (Rye 2009). It was invalidly published by Blackall and Grieve (1954), and was omitted from a later edition of their identification guide (Blackall & Grieve 1980). Cyathostemon sp. Mt Dimer (C. McChesney TRL 4/72) [previously known as Astartea sp. Mt Dimer (C. McChesney TRL4/72)], Western Australian Herbarium, in FloraBase, https://florabase.dpaw. wa.gov.au/ [accessed 6 April 2018]. Notes. This phrase name has only been applied to a single specimen from near Mt Dimer (C. McChesney TRL 4/72), with Trudgen and Rye (2014: 8, 15) noting that this entity needed further investigation to determine its taxonomic status. The Mt Dimer specimen is similar to those housed as Cyathostemon verrucosus Trudgen & Rye in having leaves covered by warts that sometimes protrude to form tubercles, but differs in usually having particularly prominent tubercles (see Trudgen & Rye 2014: Figure 1E).

    Department of Parks and Wildlife Science and Conservation Division annual research report 2013–14 DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE There has been much change since we became the Department of Parks and Wildlife in July 2013, with renewed focus on conservation of Western Australia's unique plants and animals and our world- class network of parks, reserves and natural areas. Our Strategic Directions for 2013-14 recognised that science and research play a critical role in effective management of species and ecosystems. In October 2013 the Science Division was amalgamated with the Nature Conservation Division providing new opportunities for science to more directly inform conservation policy and management, and for management requirements and knowledge gaps to set research priorities. While much of our work supports the conservation priorities of the Wildlife corporate goal, we also provide scientific research and information to support delivery of the Parks, Fire, Managed Use and People corporate goals. The combined responsibilities of the divisions are focused around two main areas of Species conservation and Landscape conservation. Our work in species conservation involves activities, such as species and community recovery, wildlife protection and licensing, understanding species biology and taxonomy, while our landscape conservation work is focused on landscape and seascape management, development advice and liaison, understanding ecosystem processes and biological survey. Information systems and monitoring and evaluation link across both species and landscape conservation activities. Across all areas, effective exchange of knowledge and information to support legislation and policy is fundamental to effective delivery of wildlife management outcomes. Partnerships have always been an important means of achieving our outcomes.

Dillon, Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara 103 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 24: 103–108 Published online 3 July 2014 Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara of Western Australia Steven J. Dillon Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Email: [email protected] Abstract Dillon, S.J. Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara of Western Australia. Nuytsia 24: 103–108 (2014). A new species of Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight, G. saxicola S.J.Dillon, is described. An amendment to an existing key of Grevillea is provided to include the new taxon, which has conservation priority. Introduction Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight is the third largest genus in Western Australia with 348 taxa, 14 of which occur in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The last revision of the genus was by Makinson (2000) and since that time a further c. 20 taxa have been added to the census of Western Australian plants (Western Australian Herbarium 1998–). Close examination of several Grevillea collections from the southern Pilbara revealed a distinct new taxon that had been previously ascribed to either G. nematophylla F.Muell. or G. berryana Ewart & Jean White. This finding was supported by more recent collections and this new species is described here as G. saxicola S.J.Dillon. Methods Descriptions and measurements are based on dried herbarium specimens held at the Western Australian Herbarium. When possible, up to five flowers were re-hydrated from each specimen for floral examination.

  • First Steps Towards a Floral Structural Characterization of the Major Rosid Subclades
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2006 First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades Endress, P K ; Matthews, M L Abstract: A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by molecular phylogenetic studies. However, as many apparent relationships are not yet well resolved, the structural support also remains tentative. Some of the features that turned out to be of interest in the present study had not previously been considered in earlier supraordinal studies. The strongest floral structural support is for malvids (Brassicales, Malvales, Sapindales), which reflects the strong support of phylogenetic analyses. Somewhat less structurally supported are the COM (Celastrales, Oxalidales, Malpighiales) and the nitrogen-fixing (Cucurbitales, Fagales, Fabales, Rosales) clades of fabids, which are both also only weakly supported in phylogenetic analyses. The sister pairs, Cucurbitales plus Fagales, and Malvales plus Sapindales, are structurally only weakly supported, and for the entire fabids there is no clear support by the present floral structural data. However, an additional grouping, the COM clade plus malvids, shares some interesting features but does not appear as a clade in phylogenetic analyses. Thus it appears that the deepest split within eurosids- that between fabids and malvids - in molecular phylogenetic analyses (however weakly supported) is not matched by the present structural data. Features of ovules including thickness of integuments, thickness of nucellus, and degree of ovular curvature, appear to be especially interesting for higher level relationships and should be further explored.

  • Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
    LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.
