  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

  • Index to NSW TSSC Final Determinations
    NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee Index to Final Determinations – 1996 –2018 (Updated to 27/4/2018) Listing of threatened species, populations and ecological communities in NSW from 1996 to 25th August 2017 was undertaken by the NSW Scientific Committee established under the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995. The extinction risk of species, populations and ecological communities were assessed at the State scale under this Act. However, it should be noted that assessments of species endemic to NSW (ie species that only occur in NSW) is equivalent to a national scale assessment. The NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee (NSWTSSC) is established under the Biodiversity Conservation Act, 2016 which commenced on 25th August 2017. Under ths Act, species and ecological communities are assessed at the national scale. If a species or ecological community is not threatened at the national scale then it can be assessed at the State scale and can be listed as threatened if it meets the criteria for listing in NSW. The NSWTSSC identifies and assesses species and ecological communities for listing as threatened in the Schedules of the Act as follows: Schedule 1 – Critically endangered (CR), Endangered (E) and Vulnerable (V) species Schedule 2 – Critically endangered (CREEC), Endangered (EEC) and Vulnerable (VEC) ecological communities Schedule 3 – Extinct species (EX), species extinct in the wild and collapsed ecological communities Schedule 4 – Key threatening processes (KTP) Final determinations include the reasons for listing and are available for those entities listed or reviewed by the Committee since the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 commenced in 1996. Final determinations made prior to 25th August 2017 refer to the listing criteria and provisons of the Threatended Species Conservation Act and Regulations.

The work described in this thesis was carried out by me, except where otherwise acknowledged, and has not been submitted to any other university or institution. 3 “Yes, Duckie, you’re lucky you’re not Herbie Hart who has taken his Throm-dim-bu-lator apart” (Dr. Seuss 1973) 4 Abstract An understanding of rarity can provide important insights into evolutionary processes, as well as valuable information for the conservation management of rare and threatened species. In this research, my main objective was to gain an understanding of the biology of rarity by investigating colonization and extinction processes from an ecological and evolutionary perspective. I have focused on the genus Persoonia (family Proteaceae), because these plants are prominent components of the Australian flora and the distributional patterns of species vary dramatically, including several that are listed as threatened.

  • North Head Site Story
    Overview of North Head North Head, a tied island formed approximately 90 million years ago, is the northern headland at the entrance to Sydney Harbour. Derived from Hawkesbury Sandstone and Newport formations, the headland is comprised of predominantly sandstone and shale, which support a mosaic of different vegetation types. This land is managed by National Parks and Wildlife Service, Sydney Harbour Federation Trust, Q Station, The Australian Institute of Police Management and the North Head Sewerage Treatment Plant, Northern Beaches Council and others. North Head is a national heritage site. Banksia aemula, a characteristic species of Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS), with Leptospermum laevigatum dominated senescent Flora at North Head ESBS in the background. North Head is dominated by dense sclerophyllous vegetation, which comprises eight distinct bentwing bat (Miniopterus schreibersii oceanensis).Two vegetation communities, including Coastal notable, and somewhat iconic, species that occur Sandstone Plateau Heath, Coastal Rock-plate at North Head are the long-nosed bandicoot Heath, Coastal Sandstone Ridgetop Woodland and (Perameles nasuta) and the little penguin the endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (Eudyptula minor), with both listed as threatened (ESBS). Characteristic species of plants within populations. these communities include the smooth-barked Several major threats to both flora and fauna occur apple (Angophora costata), red bloodwood (Corymbia at North Head. These include predation by gummifera), coastal tea tree (Leptospermum laevigatum), domestic and feral animals, vehicle strike heath-leaved banksia (Banksia ericifolia) and the (particularly bandicoots), fragmentation and loss of coastal banksia (Banksia integrifolia). A total of more habitat, weed infestation, inappropriate fire than 460 plant species have been recorded within regimes and stormwater runoff (increasing these communities so far, including the sunshine nutrients and the spread of weeds).

Seed Science and Technology, 47, 1, 107-112. https://doi.org/10.15258/sst.2019.47.1.12 Research Note The effect of the endocarp, heat-shock and short-term storage on the germination of Persoonia hirsuta (Proteaceae) seeds Nathan J. Emery* and Catherine A. Offord The Australian PlantBank, the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan, NSW 2567 Australia * Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]) (Submitted November 2018; Accepted February 2019; Published online April 2019) Abstract Persoonia are Proteaceous shrubs or small trees that have a woody endocarp as part of the dispersal unit. Seeds with this structure are often difficult to germinate. The endangered Persoonia hirsuta (hairy geebung) is a high- interest plant species for which no previous seed biology research has been conducted. In the present study we investigated the seed germination response to heat and short-term ex situ storage at low and room temperature. The effect of pre- and post-storage endocarp removal on germination was also examined. Germination success was significantly reduced when the endocarp was removed prior to storage due to increased microbial contamination coming from within the seeds. There was no significant effect of heat-shock on germination. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the endocarp be retained when storing or direct-sowing P. hirsuta seeds to enhance the likelihood of producing viable seedlings. Keywords: germination, hairy geebung, microbial contamination, Proteaceae, pyrene, seed biology Experimental and discussion A Persoonia fruit is a drupe which has an outer fleshy mesocarp and leathery pericarp layers, and a hard, woody endocarp within that encapsulates either one or two embryos that are surrounded by a thin, papery testa.

  • 5 Threatened Flora
    Draft Sydney Growth Centres Strategic Assessment Report 5 Threatened flora This section provides a detailed assessment of the presence and potential impacts of development on ten EPBC listed threatened flora species that occur within the Growth Centres. These flora species are Downy Wattle ( Acacia pubescens), Cynanchum elegans, Darwinia biflora, Dillwynia tenuifolia, Small- flowered Grevillea (Grevillea parviflora subsp. Parviflora), Micromyrtus minutiflora, Persoonia hirsuta, Persoonia nutans, Pimelea spicata and Pultenaea parviflora. The analysis provided for each species considers the following: • relevant background information on the species, including known distribution, habitat requirements and level of existing reservation (if known); • known and likely presence of the species within the Growth Centres and the importance of these areas to the species’ conservation; • potential impacts to known and likely areas supporting the species as a result of development within the Growth Centres; • proposed strategies to mitigate and manage any potential impacts; • proposed measures to offset any residual impacts to the species; and • the conservation or net outcome for the species. INFORMATION BASE The information that has been used to inform this assessment has come from a variety of sources. Relevant species profiles, recovery plans and scientific journal articles have provided background information on each species. The key resource used to provide information on species known presence within the Growth Centres was the NSW Wildlife Atlas (the Atlas), as well as any ecological survey reports prepared as part of the detailed precinct planning of the Program. The Atlas is a database of flora and fauna records across NSW. It currently holds over 4 million records and is managed and maintained by DECCW.

  • Hawkesbury-Nepean, New South Wales
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Persoonia Hirsuta
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister on 29 Apr 2014 Approved Conservation Advice for Persoonia hirsuta (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Persoonia hirsuta, Family Proteaceae, also known as the Hairy Geebung, is a spreading shrub growing to 1 m tall. It is best distinguished from other geebungs by its hairiness, having long coarse hairs on flowers and branchlets and short stiff ones on the leaves. Its leaves are small, from 6 - 12 mm long, oblong to narrow in shape and crowded along the stems; they are curled under at the edges. Groups of flowers grow into a leafy shoot. The tubular flowers are yellow or orange and about 1 cm long and also hairy (Harden, 2002; DECCW, 2005). Conservation Status Persoonia hirsuta is listed as endangered. This species is eligible for listing as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Persoonia hirsuta is also listed as endangered under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (New South Wales). Distribution and Habitat Persoonia hirsuta has a scattered distribution around Sydney. This species is distributed from Singleton in the north, along the east coast to Bargo in the south and the Blue Mountains to the west (DECC, 2007).
