  • Approved Conservation Advice for Sarcochilus Fitzgeraldii (Ravine Orchid)
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 1/10/2008 Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Sarcochilus fitzgeraldii (Ravine Orchid) 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 Sarcochilus fitzgeraldii, Family Orchidaceae, also known as Ravine Orchid, is an epilithic (living on rocks) or rarely epiphytic (on other plants) orchid, with the semi-pendulous stems, 8–100 cm long, often forming mats. Linear to narrow oblong to triangular leaves are 6–20 cm long, 10–15 mm wide, slightly channelled, acute or blunt apex, sometimes slightly scythe- shaped. The inflorescences have 4–15 flowers and are 10–20 cm long, erect to spreading to arching, with the rachis much shorter than the peduncle. The pedicel plus the ovary are about 15 mm but can be up to 20 mm long. The flowers are about the same size across as vertically. Flowers are elliptic to spathulate, with white to pink sepals. The lateral petals have pink to crimson spots at the base or all over. The lip of the flower is hairless, 5–6 mm long, about half the length of the dorsal sepal. Flowering occurs in October and November (Stanley & Ross, 1989; Weston, 1993). Conservation Status Ravine Orchid is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable 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 vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth).

La familia Orchidaceae es uno de los grupos de Magnoliophyta de mayor distribución a nivel mundial, ocupan una amplia gama de nichos, desde el medio terrestre hasta las copas de los árboles (epífitas). Históricamente esta familia ha recibido mucha atención dada la belleza de las flores de algunos de sus miembros, lo que ha llevado con el tiempo a buscar el conocimiento, entre otras cosas, sobre su distribución; por lo que han aparecido listas de especies para varios lugares de América y el mundo. En Venezuela, exceptuando los tratamientos que a nivel general se ha dado a la familia, son escasos los estudios a nivel local y en particular en la cordillera de la costa; razón por la que en este trabajo se presenta una lista actualizada de las especies de Orchidaceae conocidas hasta el presente en la flora del estado Sucre.

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian 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. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html 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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

WILLIAMS Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, 301 Funchess Hall, Auburn University, Alabama, 36849-5413, USA ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the soft scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccidae) is given for the Central American country of Guatemala. Host and locality data is presented for each species, along with notes on its taxonomic status. The list was developed from study of materials collected in Guatemala by the author and others during the years 1990-2007, and from a review of the lite- rature and records and slide material in the United States National Museum Coccoidea Collection. A study of these materials has increased the number of soft scale insects currently known from Guatemala to 29 species belonging to 23 genera. Guatemala currently ranks second in the number of soft scale insects known from Central American countries below Panama, which has 36 recorded species belonging to 18 genera. KEYWORDS: Hemiptera, Coccidae, soft scale insects, Guatemala, biodiversity, quarantine interceptions. Introduction species of those occurring in Guatemala.

    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.
