  • Calocephalus Lacteus
    Calocephalus lacteus FAMILY: ASTERACEAE BOTANICAL NAME: Calocephalus lacteus, Less., Syn. Gen. Compos.: 271 (1832) COMMON NAME: milky beautyheads COMMONWEALTH STATUS: (EPBC Act) Not Listed TASMANIAN STATUS: (TSP Act) rare Calocephalus lacteus. H & A Wapstra Description A perennial herb, which forms dense patches 60 cm or more in diameter. The plant is covered with small white hairs so that its surface appears white or greyish. Stems: The aerial stem is erect and between 15-60 cm long. The stems are branched, white and densely covered in hairs. Leaves: The lower leaves are arranged oppositely along the stem and the upper leaves are arranged alternately. The leaves have a blunt tip that has a clear margin. They are between 1.5-5 cm long and densely covered with white hairs Flowers: The flowers are at the ends of the branches in clusters of white, ovoid heads between 8-14 mm long. Flowering occurs between November to March and most herbarium specimens have been collected at this time. Fruit: The fruit is one- seeded and dry with a pappus (ring of scales or hairs found on top of fruit) (Curtis 1963). Ecology and Management This species requires bare ground for recruitment. Disturbance appears to be beneficial for this species as it is often found on roadsides and beside tracks (L. Gilfedder pers. comm). Insects are the most likely pollination vector for this species (A. Hingston pers. comm.). Conservation Status Assessment There is no immediate need for reassessment of Calocephalus lacteus.

  • Management Plan Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park 2006
    Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park 2006 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 11 January 2006 and was prepared in pursuance of section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Government of South Australia Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2006 ISBN: 1 921018 887 Front cover photograph courtesy of Bernd Stoecker FRPS and reproduced with his permission This document may be cited as “Department for Environment and Heritage (2006) Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia” FOREWORD Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park is located approximately 80 kilometres north-east of Adelaide and approximately 12 kilometres south-east of Tanunda, in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges. The 392 hectare park was proclaimed in 1979 to conserve a remnant block of native vegetation, in particular the northern-most population of Brown Stringybark (Eucalyptus baxteri). Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park preserves a substantial number of habitats for native fauna and helps to protect the soil and watershed of Tanunda Creek. More than 360 species of native plant are found within the reserve, many of which are of conservation significance. Bird species of conservation significance recorded within the reserve include the Diamond Firetail, White-browed Treecreeper, Elegant Parrot and Crescent Honeyeater. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park also has a rich cultural heritage. The reserve is of significance to the Peramangk people and Ngadjuri people who have traditional associations with the land. Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park has also been a valuable source of material for botanical research. Dr Ferdinand von Mueller and Dr Hans Herman Behr collected Barossa Ranges plants from the area between 1844 and 1851.

Fruit: The fruit is a hairy long, stalked capsule approximately 5 mm long and containing 1-2 dark brown seeds (Lynch 1993). Most herbarium specimens have been collected from September to January. This species was previously known as Eutaxia microphylla var. microphylla. Key Sites and Populations There are 12 known populations with an estimated 2000 individual plants (Lynch 1993). This species occurs in small populations in the south-east and north-east, with the most extensive and abundant populations occurring on Flinders Island (Curtis & Morris 1975, Lynch 1993).The ‘best’ population is reported to occur on steep slopes on the southern part of Prime Seal Island (Prime Seal Island Management Report Draft 2002). Ecology and Management This species is presumed to be fire sensitive. Regeneration is from seed (Lynch 1993).
