Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology Spiny, densely branching shrub or small tree growing in heathland or woodland, often in seasonally swampy areas (depressions or river banks) on sandy soils. System Movement pattern Crop Wild Relative Terrestrial Freshwater Nomadic Congregatory/Dispersive Is the species a wild relative of a crop? Marine Migratory Altitudinally migrant Growth From Definition Shrub - large Perennial shrub (>1m), also termed a Phanerophyte (>1m) Tree - small Small tree, also termed a Phanerophyte (>1m) Threats The native vegetation of south-west Western Australia has been extensively cleared for urban development and agriculture. Furthermore, many forests of the area were attacked by dieback root disease. This species is highly susceptible to attack from Phytophthora cinnamomi, i.e. species that are frequently and consistently killed in the wild following infection by P. cinnamomi, and/or appear to decline or be rare on infested sites (Goves et al. 2009; O'Gara et al. 2005). The communities where this species occurs are fire sensitive, needing the right intensity and frequency of fire to regenerate.

Most notably it is known to occur in Twin Swamps Nature Reserve, Fitzgerald River National Park and Lake Muir Nature Reserve. This species is not listed as Threatened in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The seeds for this species have been collected as part of the Millennium Seed Bank project. Seeds are located at: Wakehurst Place, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (UK) and Kings Park and Botanic Garden, Perth (Australia).

Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment J. furcellata is listed as Least Concern in view its wide distribution across shrublands and woodlands of south-west Western Australia. Also for the fact that it is known to occur within protected areas and that its seeds have been banked. However, many of the natural habitas of this region were extensively cleared for agriculture and urban development, and the communities are fire sensitive, needing the correct fire regime for regeneration. Furthermore, this species is susceptible to dieback root disease. Therefore, it is recommended that the habitat status and threats to this species are continued to be monitored in the near future.
