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. CALM 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. This IRP will operate from April 2005 to March 2010 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 26 October, 2005 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 26 October, 2005. The provision of funds and personnel identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting CALM, as well as the need to address other priorities.

  • Adenanthos Sericeus Plant Notes
    Woolly Bush Adenanthos sericeus Description The Woolly Bush is a large upright shrub that grows from 0.5 m to 5 m high by 2 m wide. Its soft, silver-grey foliage provides an attractive contrast in the garden. It can be grown in a range of conditions, including coastal areas. Flowers The small, red flowers on this plant are almost inconspicuous, but they are a great source of nectar for small honeyeaters throughout most of the year. Growing conditions This species thrives on coastal sands and right through to heavy soils, providing the site is free-draining. It is best grown in full sun but is highly adaptable and can cope with semi-shade to create an under-storey. A shady position, however, will cause plants to become ‘leggy’ and more regular pruning is required to maintain shape and form. Autumn and winter are the preferred planting times. Watering Once established, this plant is very hardy and in some situations needs no supplementary summer watering. Open mulch will help to conserve moisture. Pruning The Woolly Bush is able to be hedged and shaped to suit any situation within the home garden. It is highly responsive to pruning and mature plants can even tolerate severe major limb removal to stimulate development of new foliage. Fertiliser Apply slow release native blend 8–9 month fertiliser at planting and annually as required in spring. Pests and diseases This plant is vulnerable to borers within the major stems and small growing tips. The Woolly Bush is also susceptible to dieback (the soil-borne fungus, Phytophthora cinnamomi) as well as sometimes having minor issues with mealybugs.

  • Adenanthos Cunninghamii (Albany Woollybush) Listing Advice
    Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on Amendments to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Scientific name (common name) Adenanthos cunninghamii (Albany Woollybush) A genetic analysis of Adenanthos cunninghamii confirmed that it is a hybrid between Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus (Walker 2002). 2. Description The Albany Woollybush is a spreading, erect, woody shrub to 1.5 metres. It has single, dull red flowers and soft, hairy leaves (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). The hybrid’s morphology is intermediate between its two parents, Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus (Walker 2002). The Albany Woollybush occurs on deep, sandy soils in low woodland, heath or low scrub, and co-occurs with its parent species. It flowers in March, September and October (Hopper et al. 1990; Rye and Hopper 1981). 3. National Context The Albany Woollybush is endemic to Western Australia, and is known from twenty populations in southern coastal areas near Albany (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). The taxon occurs in the Torndirrup National Park, and surrounding private property and Shire Reserve, approximately 15 kilometres south west of Albany. It also occurs in Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve and at Gull Rock, east of Albany (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). Based on surveys conducted between 1991 and 2004, the total population size is approximately 130 mature individuals (CALM 2005). The parent species, Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus, are more widely distributed along the south coast of Western Australia (CALM 2005). The Albany Woollybush is not listed under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950.

  • ISPL Insight – Australian Threatened Plants
    Integrate Sustainability 30 July 2019 Environment Monitoring and Recovery of Western Australia’s Threatened Plants Shayde Holbrey – Environmental Specialist Current Status and Threats Western Australia is characterised by three distinct Botanical Provinces (Northern, Eremaean and South‐West) each divided into a number of Botanical Districts (Beard, 2000). The Southwest Australian Floristic Region (SWAFR) is a biodiversity hotspot with over 7300 native vascular plant species; almost half of which can only be found in this area (Hopper, 2004). While regions characterized by Mediterranean climates generally have high levels of endemism, the southwest province experiences comparably higher values due to the geographic isolation, tectonically stable landscape and deeply weathered profile (Beard, 2000). High habitat specialisation has resulted in a unique flora assemblage; however, due to their restricted distribution, many of the plants found in the SWAFR are at risk of becoming extinct (Coates, 2001). Disturbances such as fire, drought and flooding are natural across Australia, although changes in timing, frequency and intensity can Plants Under Threat impact on the survival and recruitment of plants. Altered grazing patterns, clearing, direct human disturbance and the introduction of weeds, feral animals and diseases can have significant consequences on native plant populations (Department of the Environment and Heritage, 2004). The direct impacts of changing temperature and rainfall patterns on plant growth and distribution can already be observed and should be considered during vulnerability assessments and adaption plans (Toni, 2018).

FloraBase The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) requires the Federal Government to maintain a list of threatened flora species considered to be nationally and/or internationally important.
