A. 3 Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Javier Francisco-Ortega Abstract— Previous attempts to resolve relationships among the primary lineages of Campanulidae (e.g. Apiales, Asterales, Dipsacales) have mostly been unconvincing, and the placement of a number of smaller groups (e.g. Bruniaceae, Columelliaceae, Escalloniaceae) remains uncertain. Here we build on a recent analysis of an incomplete data set that was assembled from the literature for a set of 50 campanulid taxa. To this data set we first added newly generated DNA sequence data for the same set of genes and taxa. Second, we sequenced three additional cpDNA coding regions (ca. 8,000 bp) for the same set of 50 campanulid taxa. Finally, we assembled the most comprehensive sample of cam- panulid diversity to date, including ca. 17,000 bp of cpDNA for 122 campanulid taxa and five outgroups. Simply filling in missing data in the 50-taxon data set (rendering it 94% complete) resulted in a topology that was similar to earlier studies, but with little additional resolution or confidence.

Résumé Les milieux naturels de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, Hotspot de biodiversité, ont subi de nombreuses dégradations par l’action simultanée de différentes menaces telles que les incendies, les extractions minières, l’urbanisation et l’introduction d’espèces envahissantes. A cela s’ajouteront probablement à court terme les impacts des changements climatiques. Afin de proposer un consensus entre la nécessité de protéger cette importante biodiversité néo-calédonienne et l’accroissement rapide des activités anthropiques à l’origine de ces menaces, une étude comprenant une approche à une échelle macroscopique et une approche comparative de la flore micro-endémique est proposée. La première s’attache à appréhender le micro-endémisme sur l’ensemble de la flore vasculaire du territoire.

Category Definition Taxa that have been adequately searched for and are deemed to be in the wild either rare, in danger of extinction, or otherwise in need of special protection, and have been gazetted as such (Schedules 1 to 4 of the Wildlife Conservation (Rare Flora) Notice under the WC Act). Threatened flora are further ranked by the DPaW to align with IUCN Red List categories and criteria: CR: Critically Endangered – considered to be facing an extremely high risk of extinction T – Threatened in the wild (Schedule 1); EN: Endangered – considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild (Schedule 2); or VU: Vulnerable – considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild (Schedule 3).

Construction commenced in 2014 with weed control, ripping, bed definitions and pathways for the whole area. In 2015, the northern beds were built and planted, commencing in May. The remaining beds were constructed and planted during 2016 and 2017. The garden was built and planted by volunteer members of the Friends of the Melton Botanic Garden (FMBG), who were assisted by Work for the Dole Teams. The garden continues to be managed and maintained by a volunteer group with members from the FMBG and the Centrelink Volunteers Program. David and Barb Pye have continued to manage the program to establish and maintain the Western Australian – South Australian garden (WASA). This program has included construction, plant selection and procurement, and maintenance. Growth of the garden has been fast, with significant flowering within 2 years.

Species diversity and conservation-listed taxa are assessed according to the Interim Biogeographic Regions of Australia for Western Australia. Phytogeography, biology, current conservation listings, threatening processes, apparent causes of rarity, and management and research recommendations are discussed. Many Goodenia are highly responsive to disturbance and prefer water-gaining sites, the margins of watercourses, or depressions. Highest diversity and conservation-listed taxa occur in the sand plain heaths of the South-West Botanical province. Recommended management procedures include a careful fire regime after research into the reproductive biology of a species, reserve design to include habitat preferences, floristic surveys of nearly all the conservation-listed, emergency actions to address threats in the South-West Botanical Province, and ex situ conservation measures once the true conservation status of a species is determined.

PhytoKeys 152: 27–104. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.152.49604 Abstract Close scrutiny of Goodenia (Goodeniaceae) and allied genera in the ‘Core Goodeniaceae’ over recent years has clarified our understanding of this captivating group. While expanded sampling, sequencing of multiple regions, and a genome skimming reinforced backbone clearly supported Goodenia s.l. as mono- phyletic and distinct from Scaevola and Coopernookia, there appears to be no synapomorphic characters that uniquely characterise this morphologically diverse clade.
