  • National Parks and Wildlife Amendment (Protected Native Plants) Order 2009 Under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974
    2009 No 138 New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Amendment (Protected Native Plants) Order 2009 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 MARIE BASHIR, Governor I, Professor Marie Bashir AC, CVO, Governor of the State of New South Wales, with the advice of the Executive Council, and in pursuance of section 115 (2) of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, make the following Order. Dated, this 8th day of April 2009. By Her Excellency’s Command, CARMEL TEBBUTT, M.P., Minister for Climate Change and the Environment Explanatory note The object of this Order is to substitute Schedule 13 to the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (the Act) (the Schedule that classifies certain plants as protected native plants). The consequences of a plant being classified as a protected native plant are: (a) section 115A of the Act provides for the preparation of plans of management for any commercial activity relating to a species or group of species of protected native plant if the Director-General of the Department of Environment and Climate Change is of the opinion that the activity has the potential to affect adversely the conservation of the species or group, and (b) section 116 of the Act prevents the issue of licences under the Forestry Act 1916 for the removal of protected native plants from any State forest, timber reserve or Crown land, and (c) section 117 of the Act restricts the picking or possession of protected native plants, and (d) section 118 of the Act restricts the selling of protected native plants.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The effect of local plant density on pollinator behavior and the breeding system of Persoonia bargoensis (Proteaceae) Abstract Local plant density can vary dramatically within populations and may modify both the quantity and effectiveness of pollinator activity and thus the reproductive output of plants. We tested the effects of local plant density and plant size on pollinator activity on the endangered plant Persoonia bargoensis in two remnant populations in Australia. Pollinator visitation was weakly but positively correlated with local plant density in both populations (R2 ¼ 0:25, P < 0:001; R2 ¼ 0:06, P ¼ 0:024) and with plant size in one population (R2 ¼ 0:24, P < 0:001). Within-plant movement of fluorescent dyes (added to anthers as a pollen mimic) was inversely related to local flower density (R2 ¼ 0:689, P ¼ 0:041).

  • 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.

  • Hunter-Central Rivers, 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.

PhD Thesis by Paul D. Rymer B.Sc.

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.

  • Germination and Ex Situ Storage of Hakea Dohertyi (Proteaceae) Seed
    Offord et al., Germination and storage of Hakea dohertyi seed 129 Germination and ex situ storage of Hakea dohertyi (Proteaceae) seed Cathy Offord, Mishy Mckensy, Julie Brien*, Graeme Errington+ and Peter Cuneo Royal Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan Botanic Garden, Mount Annan Drive, Mount Annan NSW 2567, AUSTRALIA *Now at NSW Agriculture, Tumut; +Now at Eurobodalla Shire Council, NSW. Abstract: Fresh seeds of the endangered Hakea dohertyi Haegi (Proteaceae) germinated at 15°C (with 12 hour light) within 14 days. At higher temperatures (20°, 25°C) seeds were slower to germinate. After 28 days only 5% of seeds germinated at 30°C, but when moved to 15°C, close to 100% of seeds germinated within 14 days. Having established optimum germination conditions, the effects of ex situ storage conditions and duration were examined. Storage at low moisture content appeared to have little effect on the germinability of Hakea dohertyi seeds and this species can be considered orthodox in that respect. Seeds stored at 4.5 or 9% moisture content, 5 or -20°C and tested after 1 and 7 years of storage achieved close to 100% germination. Issues relating to the in situ and ex situ conservation of Hakea dohertyi are discussed. Cunninghamia (2003) 8(1): 129–132 Introduction There is a high degree of diversity and local endemism in the 5 tudy2ere Proteaceae of the Sydney region (Myerscough et al. 2000). Hakea dohertyi Haegi, discovered in 1986, is one of a number of endangered endemic species occurring in the region that 5yeron are threatened by land management changes (Fisher et al.
