Type specimensof all previously described taxa have been examined including those in overseas herbaria (BM, K, K-L, W). Measurementsgiven in descriptionsare fron living plants or spirit-preservedspecimens. Notes on distribution, habitat(particularly soil andplant association)and conservation status were derived fron our own field studiesand consultationswith A.P. Brown and R. Heberle. Taxonomic history Prasophyllum macrostachyumwas describedby Brown in 1810based on collections he made in swampsnear Albany, W.A. In 1840Lindley describedP. gracilebasedon matedalcollected by James Drummond, probably from near Perth. Six years later Endlicher (1846), determinedtwo Preiss collectionsfrom Westen Australia asrepresentative ofP. algrlcansR. Br andP. graclle, eventhough both collections are in faot the same species. Reichenbach(1871), after studying the same two collections,determined that the specimenattributed by Endl cherto P. nigricans was rnfact P. gracile Lindley and the secondspecinen, determinedby Endlicher as P. gracile, was a new taxon which he described as P. gracile var. ringens. George (1971), after a study of the types, made the new combination of P. macrostachyumvar. ringens and reduced P. gracile to a synonym of P. macrostqchyumvar. macrostqchyum.In a revision of the alliance,Bates (1989) describeda third species,P. calcicola, from matedalcollected on YorkePeninsula, S.A but which also occursin W.A. In the samepaper he elevatedP. macrostachlum var. ritge,?sto specific status. Clementsand Jones (in Clements 1989) independentlyreached a similar conclusionabout the statusof this taxon and renamedit as P. antennqtum. A subsequentrc-assessment of the type collection of Pra.sophyllum gracile by one of us (MAC), housed in the Lindley Herbarium, Kew, showed that the specimenshave lateral sepalswith long, acicular terete apicesand this speciesis conspecific wlth P. ringens, and not P macrostachJumas previouslyinterpreted by George(1971) and Clements (1989). Accordingto article11of ths 1994 International Code of Botanical Nomenclature,Prasophyllum gracile Lrndley has priority over P. ringens (H.G. Reichb.) R.J. Bates. Studies of the types of other speciesin the complex have confirmed that their taxonomicstatus agrees with that accordedto them by Clements( 1989),and show that the taxon rccently discoveredby Ron and PaulineHeberle is new. Subsequentfield studiesby the seniorauthor have allowed the comparisonoffresh materialof P. mqcrostachyum,P. gracile and the new taxon. These studieshave supportedthe recognitionof the three taxa detailed in this paper and have revealed further distinguishing charactersthat are not readily evident in herbarium specimens.The taxonomy and morphology of the three taxa is presentedhere. Prasophyllum calcicolo was the subjectof a recentstudy (Bates 1989) and is not describedhere but is included in the key.

    INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 332 BODDINGTON SPIDER ORCHID (Caladenia sp. Quindanning) INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2013–2017 January 2013 Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Interim Recovery Plan for Caladenia sp. Quindanning FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. Note: CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. DEC will continue to adhere to these Policy Statements until they are revised and reissued. Plans 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. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of critically Endangered taxa, within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This plan will operate from January 2013 to December 2017 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the species is still ranked as Critically Endangered, this plan will be reviewed after five years and the need for further recovery actions assessed. This plan was given regional approval on 12 October 2012 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 30th January 2013. The provision of funds identified in this plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities.

  • Muelleria 18: 99Ð109 (2003)
    Muelleria 18: 99–109 (2003) A revisionary treatment of four species of Prasophyllum R.Br. (Orchidaceae) loosely related to P. correctum D.L.Jones David L. Jones Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, Australian National Herbarium, G.P.O. Box 1600, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, 2601, Australia. [email protected] Abstract The taxonomy of a small group of species loosely related to Prasophyllum correctum (Orchidaceae) is resolved. Four species are recognised in the group - P. correctum D.L.Jones, P. bagoensis D.L.Jones and two species newly described here (P. c rebriflorum D.L.Jones and P. incorrectum D.L.Jones). The taxonomic significance of the latter new species was resolved by an independent group of researchers (Orthia et al.) using a molecular technique, the results of this study being reported in an accompanying paper in this issue. Subsequent re-examination of morphological characters supports these findings. Keywords: Prasophyllum,new species, P. correctum, P. bagoensis, P. c re b riflorum, P. incorrectum, Victoria, Tasmania, Australia. Introduction Prasophyllum R.Br. is a complex genus of Australian and New Zealand Orchidaceae which presents difficulties in identification for taxonomists, ecologists and orchid enthusiasts, mainly because of general similarity between many taxa and the difficulty of defining unique characters which can be used as a ready means of identification. Prasophyllum is the subject of continuing studies which have resulted in the description of new species (Bates 1989b, 1990; Jones 1991, 1994a, 1994b, 1996b, 1997), a review of Tasmanian species (Jones 1998) and the resolution of various complexes (Bates 1989a; Jones 1996a; Jones & Clements 1996).

  • Prasophyllum Calcicola, P. Macrostachyum and P
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 11(2): 179-187 (1989) PRASOPHYLLUM CALCICOLA, P. MACROSTACHYUM AND P. RINGENS (ORCHIDACEAE): THREE SIMILAR SPECIES FROM WESTERN AND SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA R. Bates 38 Portmarnock Street, Fairview Park, South Australia 5126 Abstract Prasophyllum calcicola R. Bates from South and Western Australiais described as new; Prasophyllum macrostachyum R. Br. var. ringens (Reichb. f. ) A.S. George is raised to species rank as Prasophyllum ringens (Reichb. f.) R. Bates; Prasophyllum macrostachyum R. Br. is given an expanded description and the relationship of the three species discussed. Introduction Prasophyllum macrostachyum R. Br. was described in 1810 from material collected by Robert Brown at King George's Sound, Western Australia in December 1801. In 1840 J. Lindley named Prasophyllum gracile based on material inscribed "Swan River" by Drummond. P.gracile was recognised by A.S. George (1971)asa synonym of P. macrostachyum and is so treated here. H.G. Reichenbach (1871) described P. gracile var. ringens from plants collected by Preiss near York, Western Australia, and George (1971) made the combination P. macrostachyum var. ringens for this taxon, which is here raised to species status as Prasophyllum ringens. P. macrostachyum is basically a swamp plant while P. ringens favours dry ground. Both are endemic to Western Australia. Weber & Bates (1986) included South Australian material as Prasophyllum macrostachyum, but noted that these plants differed considerably from P. macrostachyum sensu stricto. This South Australian form ishere described as the new species Prasophyllum calcicola, from limestone country on Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas in South Australia and in coastal Western Australia. Thus, there are three species of this natural group occurring in Western Australia with one extending to South Australia.

Survey structure A team of scientists specialising in different organism groups each with a team of Earthwatch volunteer assistants, driver and vehicle, carried out the survey following individually devised field programs, over the 1 week period 5-9 May 2009. Science teams Five science teams, each led by one of the scientists, specialised on the following organism groups: Plants, Insects (Lepidoptera), Insects (Heteroptera), Vertebrates , Arachnids. Plants were collected by the Plants team and also by some of the animal scientists, particularly Celia Symonds, in order to accurately document the insect host plants. These additional collections were identified along with the other flora vouchers, and contribute to the flora results reported here.

  • South Coast, 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.
