Background Bellevue Gold Ltd (Bellevue Gold) is currently undertaking an exploration drilling program within mining tenement M3625 for the Bellevue Gold Project (the Project). The Project is located in the north-eastern Goldfields; approximately 40 km north of the township of Leinster in the Shire of Leonora. The Project is situated on and surrounded by pastoral lands and is located on Yakabindie cattle station. RPS was commissioned by Bellevue Gold to undertake a detailed flora and vegetation assessment over M3625 and part of M3624 to encompass the area where exploration drilling is currently underway and including the potential mining and associated infrastructure footprint (the proposed development area). The survey area, the proposed development area and the PoW 79431 area are shown in Figure A. RPS understands that the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) and the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) have requested additional information regarding the natural values of the PoW area, where in-fill drilling is proposed, in order to adequately assess the PoW application.

Any species identified as Threatened under the WC Act is assigned a threat category using the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories and criteria. Species that have not yet been adequately surveyed to warrant being listed under Schedule 1 or 2 are added to the Priority Flora or Fauna Lists under Priority 1, 2 or 3. Species that are adequately known, are rare but not threatened, or meet criteria for Near Threatened, or that have been recently removed from the threatened list for other than taxonomic reasons, are placed in Priority 4 and require regular monitoring. Conservation Dependent species and ecological communities are placed in Priority 5.

They include common genera such as Acacia, Senna, Sida and Eremophila varieties that make up the bulk of the flora and vegetation of the Yakabindie tenements. These species are generally not salt tolerant, however may demonstrate tolerances to a wide variety of soil types with corresponding range of inferred geochemistry.

  • Acacia Mulganeura (Variant 1)
    WATTLE Acacias of Australia Acacia mulganeura (variant 1) Source: W orldW ideW attle ver. 2. Published at: w w w .w orldw idew attle.com See illustration. Family Fabaceae Notes This variant is described and illustrated by Maslin & Reid (2012: 241–243) under A. mulganeura. The relationships between A. mulganeura (variants 1 and 2) and the typical A. mulganeura require further study. Resolution of these relationships has thus far been constrained by the relative paucity of flowering material and the lack of genetic information. Generally speaking A. mulganeura (variant 1) superficially resembles short phyllode morphotypes of the typical variant while A. mulganeura (variant 2) superficially resembles long phyllode morphotypes of the typical variant. The most obvious differences between the two variants and typical A. mulganeura appears to be the degree of resinosity of the youngest 1–3 phyllodes on new shoots. In typical A. mulganeura these youngest phyllodes are very resinous by a discrete covering of resin that normally obscures the underlying nervation and white hairs (reddish glandular hairlets are often visible within this resin matrix). In the two variants on the other hand, the resin is less well-developed so that on the youngest 1-3 phyllodes the longitudinal nerves with white appressed hairs in between are normally visible (only rarely obscured by a dense covering of white appressed hairs). These red-brown nerves are normally only slightly resinous. As noted by Maslin & Reid (l.c.) A. mulganeura (variant 1) has slightly longer sepals than the typical variant; however, as already noted, very little flowering material of either entity has been seen and it is therefore not known how reliable this subtle difference is.

  • Nuytsia the Journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 23: 503–526 Published Online 21 November 2013
    L.J. Biggs & C.M. Parker, Updates to WA’s vascular plant census for 2012 503 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 23: 503–526 Published online 21 November 2013 SHORT COMMUNICATION Updates to Western Australia’s vascular plant census for 2012 The census database at the Western Australian Herbarium (PERTH) lists current names and recent synonymy for Western Australia’s native and naturalised vascular plants, as well as algae, bryophytes, lichens, slime moulds and some fungi. The names represented in the census are either sourced from published research or denote as yet unpublished names based on herbarium voucher specimens. We herein summarise the changes made to vascular plant records in this database during 2012. Ninety five taxa were newly recorded for the state, of which 11 are naturalised and 29 have been added to the Department of Parks and Wildlife’s (DPaW; formerly Department of Environment and Conservation) Threatened and Priority Flora list for Western Australia (Smith 2012) (Table 1). Three hundred and twenty six existing entries on the census underwent a name change (Table 2), including a number of taxa in Eucalyptus L’Her (Nicolle & French 2012; Nicolle et al. 2012), Polygala L. (Kerrigan 2012), and Commersonia J.R.Forst & G.Forst and Rulingia R.Br. (Wilkins & Whitlock 2011a, 2011b). Under the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHAH) guidelines for informal names (Barker 2005), manuscript names are being converted to phrase names unless publication is imminent. Sixty three manuscript names were updated to phrase names through this process, while 26 manuscript names and 49 phrase names were formally published (Table 2).
