While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • The Bundanon Trust Properties Are Mapped by the NSW National Vegetation Survey As Supporting Over 14 Different Vegetation Communities
    4 FLORA The Bundanon Trust properties are mapped by the NSW National Vegetation Survey as supporting over 14 different vegetation communities. The Living Land- scape project incorporates many of these communities. Image: Bloodwood trees in blossom at Riversdale, February 2015 VEGETATION COMMUNITIES SUMMARY Groups of native plants that grow in association with each other on a specific soil type, being described as distinct “floristic assemblages”. These floristic assemblages provide an equally distinctive suite of native fauna species with their preferred habitat; when combined the flora, fauna and soil are considered to be an Ecological Community. Floristic assemblages are the framework around which Ecological Communities are defined. These assemblages are described with reference to the dominant plant species, usually trees, and the other vegetation strata which might include mid-storey, shrub, vine, groundcover and forb layers. Comprehensive floristic descriptions might also include fungi, mosses, and lichens; however, these are not presently considered in the “scientific determinations” or legal descriptions of the Ecological Communities made by the Department of Environment and Climate Change Scientific Committee. The floristic assemblages were mapped on site by the NSW Department of Environment and Conservation and the NSW Department of Natural Resources. This report, Native Vegetation of Southeast NSW (NVSNSW), was based on the South Coast - Illawarra Vegetation Integration (SCIVI) Project, which aimed to integrate many previous vegetation classification and mapping works to produce a single regional classification and map plus information on regional conservation status of vegetation types. Survey work for the Land Management Plan generally supported the overall pattern of distribution within study area of the community distribution as mapped by NVSNSW.

  • Species of the Box-Gum Woodlands and Derived Native Grasslands
    White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland Ecological Community Species List White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland Ecological Community Species List This species list is designed to provide information about plant species that can be found in the White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland ecological community listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The species list was developed to complement the Listing Information Guide, and should be read in that context. It provides information on scientific and common names of the species, the kind of plant the species is, whether it is an ‘important’ species for the purposes of this ecological community and whether it is exotic or native, perennial or annual. The list is not exhaustive and not all of the species listed will occur in every patch of White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland. If there are any species that you think should be added to the list, removed from the list, or that are categorised incorrectly, please contact [email protected]. As such, this document may change over time and you should check that you are referring to the most recent version of the list. Caveat: This list has been compiled from a range of sources. While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information, no guarantee is given, nor responsibility taken, by the Commonwealth for its accuracy, currency or completeness.

  • Hardenbergia Violacea
    Hardenbergia violacea Family: Fabaceae subfamily Faboideae Distribution: A widespread species occurring in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. It occurs in a variety of habitats from coast to mountains, usually in open forest/woodland and sometimes in heath. Common Native sarsaparilla; Purple coral pea Name: Derivation of Hardenbergia...after Franziska Countess Name: von Hardenberg. violacea...referring to the typical flower colour. Conservation Not considered to be at risk in the wild. Status: General Description: Hardenbergia is a small genus of three species, the most common and best known of which is Hardenbergia violacea. Hardenbergia violacea is usually a climbing plant whose branches twist around the stems of other plants. It is moderately vigorous but rarely covers other plants so extensively as to cause damage. Shrubby forms without any climbing tendency are known. The leaves are dark, glossy green with prominent veins and are 75-100 mm in length. Typical purple-flowered form of Hardenbergia violacea (top) and a pink-flowered form (bottom) Photos: Brian Walters The flowers, which appear in winter and spring, are usually violet in colour but pink, white and other colours are sometimes found. The flowers are the typical "pea" shape consisting of 4 petals; the "standard", the "keel" and two "wings" as shown in the diagram below. A number of colour varients of H.violacea are becoming generally available in nurseries, with some imaginative cultivar names attached - for example: • "Happy Wanderer" (very vigorous, purple flowers) • "Pink Fizz" (pink flowers - climbing, not vigorous) • "Mini Haha" (compact, shrubby - purple flowers) • "Alba" (white flowers) • "Free 'n' Easy" (whitish flowers, vigorous climber) • "Blushing Princess" (shrubby - mauve-pink flowers) • "Purple Falls" (trailing - purple flowers, good for rockeries) • "Bushy Blue" (shrubby - blue-purple flowers).

  • Agnes Banks Nature Reserve Report.Pdf
    AGNES BANKS NATURE RESERVE WALK 26 SEPTEMBER 2020 Agnes Banks Nature Reserve is on the East bank of the Hawkesbury River near Richmond on a small area of windblown sands which overlays alluvial deposits from ancient river systems (65 million years ago). The reserve is a remnant of the original area as most of the deposit has been mined for the sand. It is a unique vegetation community to Western Sydney as it includes species of plants which are more commonly found growing on sandstone on the coast. 15 ParraHills members and friends met to explore the Reserve on 26 September. There was so much to see that we actually didn’t get very far in the two hours of the walk! There are five Endangered or Vulnerable vegetation communities in the reserve. Castlereagh Swamp Woodland, Castlereagh Ironbark Forest, Castlereagh Scribbly Gum Woodland, Agnes Banks Woodland and Shale Gravel Transition Forest. We explored some of the Agnes Banks Woodland and some of the Castlereagh Swamp Woodland. We joked after our two hour walk that, if our group is to explore other areas in the future, we will need to put blindfolds on everyone, and lead them through the first few hundred metres to the next section. We saw quite a few species with which we were reasonably familiar as well as those which we do not see at all in our area. One of these was Ricinocarpos pinifolius which was flowering prolifically. The species of Smokebush found in the reserve is Conospermum taxifolium which is fairly common on the coast but not seen in our area.
