The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

  • The Bundanon Trust Properties Are Mapped by the NSW National Vegetation Survey As Supporting Over 14 Different Vegetation Communities
    4 FLORA The Bundanon Trust properties are mapped by the NSW National Vegetation Survey as supporting over 14 different vegetation communities. The Living Land- scape project incorporates many of these communities. Image: Bloodwood trees in blossom at Riversdale, February 2015 VEGETATION COMMUNITIES SUMMARY Groups of native plants that grow in association with each other on a specific soil type, being described as distinct “floristic assemblages”. These floristic assemblages provide an equally distinctive suite of native fauna species with their preferred habitat; when combined the flora, fauna and soil are considered to be an Ecological Community. Floristic assemblages are the framework around which Ecological Communities are defined. These assemblages are described with reference to the dominant plant species, usually trees, and the other vegetation strata which might include mid-storey, shrub, vine, groundcover and forb layers. Comprehensive floristic descriptions might also include fungi, mosses, and lichens; however, these are not presently considered in the “scientific determinations” or legal descriptions of the Ecological Communities made by the Department of Environment and Climate Change Scientific Committee. The floristic assemblages were mapped on site by the NSW Department of Environment and Conservation and the NSW Department of Natural Resources. This report, Native Vegetation of Southeast NSW (NVSNSW), was based on the South Coast - Illawarra Vegetation Integration (SCIVI) Project, which aimed to integrate many previous vegetation classification and mapping works to produce a single regional classification and map plus information on regional conservation status of vegetation types. Survey work for the Land Management Plan generally supported the overall pattern of distribution within study area of the community distribution as mapped by NVSNSW.

  • Bossiaea Ensata
    Bossiaea ensata Family: Fabaceae subfamily Faboideae Distribution: Woodland and open forest in south-east Queensland, eastern New South Wales and north-east Victoria. Common Sword bossiaea. Name: Derivation of Bossiaea... After Boissieu de la Martinière, a physician Name: and plant collector who participated in the expedition of Jean-Francois de La Perouse in 1785. ensata... From Latin ensatus, sword-like, referring to the flattened stems of this species. Conservation Not considered to be at risk in the wild. Status: General Description: Bossiaea is a genus of about 50 species all of which occur naturally only in Australia. They are found in all States and are small to medium shrubs. Bossiaea ensata Photo: Brian Walters Bossiaea ensata is a small shrub, often with a low, spreading habit and only rarely reaching about 1 metre high. It is generally leafless and has flattened, winged stems whose function takes the place of leaves (the leaves are actually reduced to small scales along the flattened stems). The stems are usually 3 to 10 mm in width (which distinguishes B.ensata from the similar B.scolopendria, which has winged stems up to 15 mm wide). True leaves are sometimes seen near the base of the plant or on juvenile stems - these true leaves are small and oval shaped. The flowers are yellow with a red centre and have the typical "pea" shape consisting of 4 petals; the "standard", the "keel" and two "wings", as shown in the diagram. They occur in the leaf "scales" in late spring and summer and are about 10-15 mm long.

  • Acacia Siculiformis
    Threatened Species Link www.tas.gov.au SPECIES MANAGEMENT PROFILE Acacia siculiformis dagger wattle Group: Magnoliophyta (flowering plants), Magnoliopsida (dicots), Fabales, Fabaceae Status: Threatened Species Protection Act 1995: rare Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999: Not listed Endemic Found in Tasmania and elsewhere Status: Acacia siculiformis (dagger wattle) is a shrub which in Tasmania occurs near watercourses and in dry, rocky situations within sclerophyll forest. It mostly occurs in a band from the centre of the State to the East Coast but unvouchered records from the north east require verification. About 30 subpopulations have been recorded though fewer than 20 are supported by herbarium specimens. Available data suggests that subpopulations are small, with the total number of plants likely to be considerably fewer than 5,000 with an area of occupancy less than 5 ha, putting the species at risk from inadvertent or chance events. Other threats include dam construction, and while forestry operations may result in minor losses, the associated disturbance may trigger recruitment from soil-stored seed. The species would benefit from management of cumulative losses, and disturbance that allows recruitment leading to supplementation of the soil seed store. No species management profile is currently available for this species. Check the Further Information section on this page and any relevant Activity Advice.​ Key Points Important: Is this species in your area? Do you need a permit? Ensure you’ve covered all the issues by checking the Planning Ahead page. Important: Different threatened species may have different requirements. For any activity you are considering, read the Activity Advice pages for background information and important advice about managing around the needs of multiple threatened species.

A REVISION OF THE GENUS TEMPLETONIA R.Br. (PAPILIONACEAE) by J. H. Ross* ABSTRACT The endemic Australian genus Templetonia is revised. Eleven species are recognized and the uncertainty concerning the application of the name T. sulcata (Meissn.) Benth. is discussed. This discussion includes the selection ol a lectotype for Bossiaea rossii F. Muell., a possible synonym. Descriptions, a key to the identification of species, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided, together with notes on ecology and relationships. Two previous papers describing T. incana (.Muelleria 4: 247-249 (1980)) and T. negketa (loc. cit. 390-393 (1981)) should be used in conjunction with the present revision. INTRODUCTION Templetonia, a small genus of 1 1 species described by R. Brown in Ait. f Hort. , Kew. ed. 2, 4: 269 (1812), was named in honour of the Irish botanist John Templeton (1776-1825) ot Orange Grove, Belfast.
