L08189, Rev 1, February 2012 DOCUMENT STATUS / DISCLAIMER Level 1 Flora and Vegetation Survey Lots 6, 300 and 301 Boomerang Road, Oldbury SUMMARY The findings of the Level 1 Flora and Vegetation Survey conducted in October 2008 of Lots 6, 300 and 301 Boomerang Road, Oldbury, can be summarised as follows: . Botanists recorded 122 taxa from thirty-eight plant families across the site; eighteen of these taxa are exotic species that are naturalised weeds. No Declared Rare Flora (DRF) species, as listed under subsection (2) of Section 23F of the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 or Priority Flora species as listed by the Department of Environment and Conservation (Atkins, 2008) were located within the study area. No species governed by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 were located within the study area. No other flora species of other conservation significance as stated in Guidance Statement 51 (EPA, 2004) or as listed in Bush Forever (Western Australian Planning Commission, 2000) were recorded within the study area. Three vegetation units were mapped for the study area. The vegetation units of the study area are inferred to represent Floristic Community Type (FCT) 21a Central Banksia attenuata – Eucalyptus marginata woodlands. This community type is centred on, but not exclusive to the Bassendean Dunes system. This community type is considered to be Well Reserved and Low Risk (Gibson et al. 1994). The vegetation condition of the study area ranged from Very Good to Completely Degraded (Figure 3). The south-eastern portion of the survey area has been mapped by Heddle et al. (1980) as part of the Serpentine River Complex. This complex has less than 10% remaining in the Perth Metropolitan Region of the Swan Coastal Plain (SCP) (Table 3), which makes it regionally significant under the Bush Forever criteria (Section 1.3.6). However, the vegetation on site is not representative of the ‘typical’ Serpentine River Complex; instead it is more similar to the Bassendean Complex, or may be a ‘transition area’ between the two. Also, the vegetation within the mapped Serpentine River Complex that is of Good or better condition is small and surrounded by many disturbance factors that make it unlikely to be viable in the long-term. FCTs and therefore potential Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) or other conservation significant plant communities can not be positively confirmed without conducting a statistical analysis of plot based data.

  • AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (27/4/2006) by Mark A. Clements
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (27/4/2006) by Mark A. Clements and David L. Jones 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.

  • Southwest Australian Vegetation
    Plant Formations in the Southwest Australian BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Southwest Australian Jarrah Forest Unlike most of the World’s hardwood forests this type of forest is almost exclusively dominated by a single species the Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata), which can form almost pure stands in certain areas especially where laterite soils predominate. The only other commonly associated trees are Eucalyptus calophylla (marri), E. patens (blacknut) and E. wandoo (wandoo). Commonly associated under storey species include the strange Casuarine fraserana and various banksias (Proteaceae) such as Banksia grandis, B. menziesii and B. attenuata. However, in addition there are various arborescent monocots such as the endemic Dasypogon hookeri, Kingia australis and Xanthorrhoea gracilis (Xanthorrhoeaceae). The most common liana is the endemic Kennedia coccinea (Fabaceae) and, in fact, both lianas and creepers are common features of these forests. The shrub layer, unlike the canopy, is also rich in species with many endemics. The most common of these is Stirlingia latifolia (Proteaceae), while other species include Acacia alata, Adenanthos barbigerus, Conospermum glumaceum, Dryandra praemorsa, Grevillea willsoni, Hakea lissocarpha, Isopogon sphaerocephalus (Proteaceae), Andersonia axilliflora, Astroloma ciliatum (Epacridaceae), Anigozanthos preissii (Haemodoraceae), Chorizema dicksonii, Daviesia cordata, Gastrolobium villosum (Fabaceae), Darwinia carnea, Hypocalymma robustum (Myrtaceae), Hemiandra linearis (Lamiaceae), Hibbertia hypericoides

The main goals of our study were to verify the monophyly of these two genera and to determine their closest affinity group within Gnapha- lieae. We analysed sequences of the trnL intron and trnL-trnF spacer of Gnaphalieae and other Compositae tribes, in order to elucidate the tribal position of Aliella, Macowania, Phagnalon and Philyrophyllum. In addition, we analysed ribosomal nrDNA together with the ycf3-trnS and trnT-trnL spacers of cpDNA to elucidate the relationships within Aliella and Phagnalon. The genera Anisothrix, Athrixia and Pentatrichia are closely related to Aliella and Phagnalon. Aliella, Macowania and Phagnalon are nested within the “Relhania clade”, and the subtribal affinities of Philyrophyllum lie within the “crown radiation clade”.
