Considerable inter- and intra-specific variation in both seed production and germinability was demonstrated for the majority of taxa. The seed to flower ratio, or “seed set”, ranged from 0% to 68% with an overall mean of 21% in 82 accessions representing seed from 48 populations of the 22 taxa. Percentage germination ranged from 7% to 100% with an average of 49% for 68 accessions. The precariously low annual reproductive capacity of some of the more restricted and critically endangered taxa threatens their survival and unexpected disturbance events may result in population decline or even localised extinction. Mitigation measures such as the reintroduction of plant material into new sites and the enhancement of existing populations through additional plantings may be warranted for many of Western Australia’s rare and threatened Verticordia. Keywords: Verticordia, seed production, germination Introduction prominently displayed feathery flowers are borne singly but appear as heads or spikes and are generally brightly Verticordia (family Myrtaceae, sub-family coloured, ranging from yellow to red to purple.

  • Preliminary Report on Conospermum (Proteaceae)
    preliminary Report on COnO~pexnI~m(Proteaceae) Ref. Program Resources PO 590383 (Aug 25-Sep 25, 1992) ~ichardW. Spjut, Director & Plant Explorer World Botanical Associates Ground and aerial reconnaissance has been conducted of the coastal areas of Western ~ustraliafrom Perth north to Kalbarri to assess the available biomass of Conospermum stoechadis, C. incurvum, and closely related species; additionally, samples of these species have been obtained for quantitative analysis of conocurvone--an active chemical within the plant species that may have potential for treating AIDS. An estimated 1.1 million kg of root of C. stoechadis is available in the Kalbarri region and more than 2 million kg of root of C. incurvum occurs within 50 square km just north of Eneabba. several other promising areas have been noted from aerial reconnaissance, but the plants have yet to checked by ground survey. The southeastern part of Western Australia has not yet been surveyed where other closely-related species occur, particularly C. distichum, C. floribundum, C. filifolium. ~hirty-three samples of Conospermum spp. have been obtained of C. incurvum, C. stoechadis, and also from variants of C. triplinervium. Planning in Perth The first week was spent obtaining photocopies of locality data on herbarium records from PERTH (herbarium name indicated in Index Herbariorum) and entering these data into a database. species filed alphabetically in the herbarium from A-G were photographed before Neville Marchant, Acting Senior Botanist in charge for Jim Armstrong who has taken on another position under the Executive ~irector(Syd shea), complained about taking proprietary information. Photographing was actually done with permission from other staff at the herbarium; however,.this complaint and recognition of my visit led to further meetings with my partner, Ross smith, Jim Armstrong and our (WBA) attorney to work out a satisfactory agreement between CALM and WBA.
