  • New Helmet Orchid (Corybas Sp.) Found in the Lower Southwest
    New Helmet Orchid New Helmet Orchid (Corybas sp.) found in the lower Southwest Just when you think there cannot possibly be any more surprises in Western Australian native orchids, along comes some- one to prove you wrong. This happened in early May this year when I received an email from David Edmonds, who lives near Walpole, stating “Had a bit of a surprise today, finding some helmet orchids - it seems very early in the season and they don’t look typical. Wondering whether you had any ideas as to what they could be?” The earliest flowering species of helmet orchid in WA is Corybas recurvus which starts at the end of June but does not reach peak flowering until mid July– August. So, what had David found? Fortunately, he had included some photos and as soon as I viewed them I realised that he had made a significant discov- ery, a brand new helmet orchid for WA. It was mor- phologically unlike any other species found here. Plants had a tiny leaf, smaller than the flower, and the flower, unlike that of Corybas recurvus, stood up- right rather than leaning backwards. Each flower had a broad, cream, pink tinged dorsal sepal and a pinkish -red labellum with a prominent cream boss (the cen- tral part of the labellum). It was also flowering in ear- ly May, several months before Corybas recurvus. Wow, what a discovery! I just had to see it in the wild and arranged to meet David a week later. On the 15th May a small group comprising David Edmonds, Anna de Haan, Jackie Manning (DBCA Conservation Officer from Walpole) and myself met at David’s house and, after a brief chat, proceeded to the location where he had found the or- chid.

  • Australian Orchidaceae: Genera and Species (12/1/2004)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (21/1/2008) by Mark A. Clements Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name. Synonyms are also cross-referenced under genus.

  • Friends of Wireless Hill Newsletter Spring 2013
    Friends of Wireless Hill Newsletter Spring 2013 The Friends meet on the 2nd Monday of each month at the Capital Radio Room, Wireless Hill Park at 7.00pm. Weeding/planting activities are at 8.30am on the 2nd and 4th Sunday. FUTUR FLOWERING NOW Any visitors on the Wild Flower Walks on 8 September will have been impressed by the variety of flowers to be seen. Over 40 native species were identified – the most spectacular being the expanses of red and green Kangaroo Paws (Anigozanthos manglesii) and of yellow and purple Donkey Orchids (Diuris corymbosa and D.magnifica). The yellow of the Buttercups (Hibbertia spp) and the small Cotton heads (Conostylis spp) and the mauve of Hybanthus and Calectasia gave a good contrast. Scattered along the walks were odd specimens of about 7 other orchid species. Kangaroo Paws (Anigozanthus manglesii) FORTHCOMING ACTIVITIES In the next few months many new flowers will appear including Fringed lilies (Thysanotus), Trigger plants (Stylidium) and shrubs such as Melaleuca. Following the rains of winter, the weeds also flourish and will involve many hours of work by the Friends. We concentrate on the South-East area (including the Wiildflower paths). No herbicide spraying is allowed there and weeds are removed by hand. Target plants are Perennial Veldt Grass (Ehrharta calycina ), Gladiolus and Freesia all from South Africa but a variety of daisies (Asteraceae), peas (Fabaceae) and other introduced grasses must be tackled. OTHER NEWS Donkey Orchid (Diuris magnifica) The walks on 8 September were a great success. The weather was ideal with clear, blue sky and o (Photos Margaret Matthews) temperature of about 21 C.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for SCOTT RIVER IRONSTONE ASSOCIATION
    Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) (s266B) Approved Conservation Advice for SCOTT RIVER IRONSTONE ASSOCIATION 1. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) was established under the EPBC Act and has obligations to undertake assessments and present advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (the Minister) in relation to the listing and conservation of threatened ecological communities, including under sections 189, 194N and 266B of the EPBC Act. 2. The Committee provided its advice on the Scott River Ironstone Association ecological community to the Minister as a draft of this approved conservation advice. In 2013, the Minister accepted the Committee’s advice, adopting it as the approved conservation advice. 3. The Minister amended the list of threatened ecological communities under section 184 of the EPBC Act to include the Scott River Ironstone Association ecological community in the endangered category. It is noted that the ecological community is also listed as the Scott River Ironstone Association on the Western Australian list of threatened ecological communities endorsed by the Western Australia Minister for the Environment 4. A draft conservation advice for this ecological community was made available for expert and public comment for a minimum of 30 business days. The Committee and Minister had regard to all public and expert comment that was relevant to the consideration of the ecological community. 5. This approved conservation advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time it was approved; this includes scientific literature, advice from consultations, existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this ecological community.

  • A Preliminary List of the Flora and Significant Flora of the Yalgorup National Park
    A Preliminary List of the Flora and Significant Flora of the Yalgorup National Park. GJ Keighery, BJ Keighery and VM Longman August 2009 Department of Environment and Conservation Perth. Western Australia. Flora Yalgorup National Park Methods The principal author has been working on compiling a list of the flora of the Yalgorup National Park for 30 years beginning in the late 1970s. This work was progressed in a series of studies including the Southern Swan Coastal Plain floristic study ( Gibson et al. 1994), Conservation Status of Vascular Flora of the Southern Swan Coastal Plain (GJ Keighery 1999) and work by the Wildflower Society and the Department of Environment and Conservation in 2007. A current study on the flora and vegetation values of the area from Dawesville to Biningup has contributed to the databasing of the information collected over this period. Flora A total of 650 taxa, 515 native taxa and 135 weeds are listed for the Yalgorup National Park (Table 1). Information on a variety of species attributes is listed alongside the taxa in Table 1. These attributes include: • significant flora; • endemic status; • growth form; • life form; and • aquatic species. These attributes are described in the key to Appendix XX and in the Perth Region Plant Biodiversity Project (PRPBP) section of the Western Australian Local Government Association’s (WALGA) Perth Biodiversity Project website (DoE et al. 2006). Significant Flora When taxa are considered according to conservation status (see Table 1 Key for categories), over 100 (106) are considered significant flora in the Park (Table 1). Of these, 2 are listed as DRF and 12 are listed as priority taxa: one Priority 1, two Priority 2, six Priority 3 and three Priority 4.
