Plant of the Month - September 2012 Advanced Search Names Home Themes Find Nuytsia Tools Help Plant of the Month — September 2012 Pityrodia augustensis — Mt. Augustus Foxglove Endemic to the Mount Augustus area, Pityrodia augustensis is a bushy shrub to 1 m high with purple- red flowers appearing in August to September. Superficially similar in terms of inflorescence and flowers to the related Pityrodia axillaris and P. terminalis, this priority flora species is readily distinguished from them by its narrowly elliptic leaves which are cuneate (wedge-shaped) towards both ends. Unlike several other species in the genus, the anthers on the upper pair of stamens are longer than the lower pair, however, the filaments of the lower pair are longer than the upper pair, which is in common with the rest of the species. Additionally, the two related species occur in the southwest of the State, while Pityrodia augustensis is restricted to a small area within the Gascoyne IBRA Region of Beard's Eremaean province, where it was first collected by Ernie Wittwer in 1971. It was subsequently described by Ahmad Abid Munir in his taxonomic revision of the genus in 1979. Pityrodia augustensis is one of the Australian native foxgloves, belonging to the large botanical family Lamiaceae — the mint family. The generic name derives from the Greek pityron meaning bran, husk or scale-like, which refers to the leaves, while the species epithet contains the Latin adjectival suffix - ensis indicating place of origin.

Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

Pityrodia Axillaris)
INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 284 WOOLLY FOXGLOVE (Pityrodia axillaris) INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2008-2013 June 2008 Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Interim Recovery Plan for Pityrodia axillaris 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. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or threatened 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 (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This IRP will operate from June 2008 to May 2013 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the species is still ranked CR at the end of the five-year term, this IRP will be reviewed and the need for further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 11 August 2008 and approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 5 September 2008. The allocation of staff time and provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities.

Approved Conservation Advice for Pityrodia Axillaris (Native Foxglove)
This conservation advice was approved by the Minister on 13 July 2010 Approved Conservation Advice for Pityrodia axillaris (Native Foxglove) (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Pityrodia axillaris, Family Lamiaceae, also known as Native Foxglove or Woolly Foxglove, is a low, diffuse shrub that can grow to 0.3 m high. The flowers are red to yellowish-scarlet, vivid in appearance, and the flowering period is from July to December (Western Australian Herbarium, 2006; DEC, 2009). Conservation Status Native Foxglove is listed as critically endangered. This species is eligible for listing as critically endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as the estimated total number of mature individuals is very low, and it has a very restricted geographic distribution which is precarious for its survival given the nature of ongoing threats (TSSC, 2009). The species is also listed as declared rare flora under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950, and is managed as critically endangered (according to IUCN criteria) by the Western Australian Government. Distribution and Habitat Native Foxglove is endemic to Western Australia. It is known from eight populations in the Morawa area, approximately 200 km south-east of Geraldton (DEC, 2009). The extent of occurrence of the species is approximately 30 km2 and its area of occupancy is less than 1 km2 (DEC, 2009). The population size of the species is estimated to be 120 mature plants.

Nuytsia the Journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 23: 503–526 Published Online 21 November 2013
L.J. Biggs & C.M. Parker, Updates to WA’s vascular plant census for 2012 503 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 23: 503–526 Published online 21 November 2013 SHORT COMMUNICATION Updates to Western Australia’s vascular plant census for 2012 The census database at the Western Australian Herbarium (PERTH) lists current names and recent synonymy for Western Australia’s native and naturalised vascular plants, as well as algae, bryophytes, lichens, slime moulds and some fungi. The names represented in the census are either sourced from published research or denote as yet unpublished names based on herbarium voucher specimens. We herein summarise the changes made to vascular plant records in this database during 2012. Ninety five taxa were newly recorded for the state, of which 11 are naturalised and 29 have been added to the Department of Parks and Wildlife’s (DPaW; formerly Department of Environment and Conservation) Threatened and Priority Flora list for Western Australia (Smith 2012) (Table 1). Three hundred and twenty six existing entries on the census underwent a name change (Table 2), including a number of taxa in Eucalyptus L’Her (Nicolle & French 2012; Nicolle et al. 2012), Polygala L. (Kerrigan 2012), and Commersonia J.R.Forst & G.Forst and Rulingia R.Br. (Wilkins & Whitlock 2011a, 2011b). Under the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH) guidelines for informal names (Barker 2005), manuscript names are being converted to phrase names unless publication is imminent. Sixty three manuscript names were updated to phrase names through this process, while 26 manuscript names and 49 phrase names were formally published (Table 2).
