  • A Project to Reconnect Matted Flax-Lily Populations Along the Merri Creek Brian Bainbridge Merri Creek Management Committee
    Linking Landscapes Symposium Bendigo, May 2017 Biolinksalliance.org.au Symposium Presentation No. 9 Pollen Pathways: A project to reconnect Matted Flax-lily populations along the Merri Creek Brian Bainbridge Merri Creek Management Committee www.mcmc.org.au Summarised by Dr Peter Mitchell, Biolinks Alliance What does a bottle of pasta sauce have to do with connectivity? Read to the end for an answer. What does habitat connectivity look like to a plant with its roots rooted to a spot? In a series of projects on the conservation of the Matted Flax-lily (Dianella amoena), the Merri Creek landscape has been looked at from a plant’s-eye view. Along the way, the projects uncovered a whole range of stories that have really captured the imagination of the local community. Plants might be rooted in the soil, but they need their seeds to disperse around the landscape to areas suitable for colonisation – or re-colonisation. And to produce that seed, most plants need pollen from another plant probably not too closely related. Without that outcrossing, plants will not produce viable seed. So we need to consider habitat connectivity from the point of view of a “pollen pathway”. Different plants have different seed dispersal and pollination syndromes and these are affected to different degrees by fragmentation. Ary Hoffman (see Talk 2) identified how we need to have genetic diversity in plants to foster adaptation – what he called “adaptive capacity”. So we need to think about pollen when we think about habitat connectivity. For wind pollinated she-oaks and grasses, even quite large gaps can be spanned by pollen.

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.

The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted.

Acacia verniciflua A.Cunn. and A. leprosa Sieber ex DC. are believed to be closely related, although strict interpretation of the current sectional classification of subgenus Phyllodineae places them in separate sections based on main nerve number. Six populations, comprised of the common and the southern variants of A. verniciflua and the large phyllode variant of A. leprosa, were sampled to test the value of nerve number as a taxonomic character and the current delimitation of these geographically variable species. Morphometrics, microscopy and the AFLP technique were used to compare and contrast populations. Phyllode nerve development was investigated and the abaxial nerve was found to be homologous with the mid-rib of a simple leaf. Three taxa were differentiated, two that are consistently two-nerved and one taxon that is variably one-nerved, two-nerved or both within a single plant. The first two-nerved taxon, characterised by smaller phyllodes, matches the type specimen of A. verniciflua. The second two-nerved taxon, characterised by large phyllodes, is apparently endemic to Mt William. The third taxon, with variable main nerve number, also has large phyllodes, and combines large phyllode variant A.
