The Introduced Flora of Australia and Its Weed Status by R.P CRC for Australian Weed Management The introduced flora of Australia and its weed status By R.P. Randall | CRC for Australian Weed Management Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia Acknowledgments A great deal of time and effort has gone into this publication. Nevertheless, as there is no definitive listing of Australian native species there may be some native plants listed in this book as introduced exotics. It is also very likely that many more exotic plants are present in Australia then have been listed here. I take full responsibilty for any errors or omissions and would appreciate it if users of this book would please contact me with any corrections or additions via my email address: [email protected] I would like to thank the Weeds CRC for supporting this project, especially the project members, and in particular my friend Dane Panetta for his ongoing support.

In the 200 years since the arrival of Europeans, over 28,000 foreign plants have been brought to Australia, most deliberately imported for pasture, horticulture or as ornamentals. Their impact is enormous – invasive plants are the main threat to 45% of threatened and endangered species and ecosystems in New South Wales (Coutts-Smith and Downey 2006), and the cost to Australian agriculture is at least $3.5bn per year in lost production and control costs (Sinden et al. 2004). It has taken us a long time to recognise the havoc caused to our environment by weeds, and many still fail to appreciate the scale of the problem. Too many people see the green trees or the pretty flowers and fail to understand the lost native diversity which these invaders have replaced. However, progress is being made, and all new plant imports are now subject to a Weed Risk Assessment, and can only be imported if the risk is low. Now the next step is to manage the enormous number of plants already present in Australia, in gardens and private collections, some already widespread, some naturalising in small areas and others just waiting for favourable conditions before they too become major weeds. The first step in this process is to assemble accurate information on the plant species already here, and this database of the introduced plants of Australia does just that. Every introduced plant species present and being grown in Australia is listed, whether or not it is naturalised (ie growing in the wild), and with information on its weedy status here and worldwide. This book is a development from Rod’s database of all weedy flora of the world published in 2002 as A Global Compendium of Weeds. Together these two publications represent the results of years of meticulous work. The introduced flora of Australia and its weed status is an invaluable resource to everyone who cares about the Australian environment and wishes to ensure that the plants chosen for revegetation projects, landscaping and gardens are not likely to become weedy and a threat to our bushland.

In the last 200 years a very large number of species have been introduced to Australia, including many that have not naturalised here as yet but that could potentially do so if introduced to the correct region(s) in sufficient numbers. This could easily happen if they became more popular in trade and were more widely sold and distributed, increasing propagule pressure to the point where site and circumstance meet and they become naturalised. As a way to manage this problem, staff at an initial meeting early in the second round of the Cooperative Research Centre for Australian Weed Management proposed the development of a database of exotic plant species in Australia. A team of people interested in the idea was assembled and the project began in March 2001. The Exotic species database project was originally initiated to assist in the completion of Weed Risk Assessments (WRA), the very first phase of which is to determine if the plant being assessed is already in Australia. Any plant species already present in Australia, whether naturalised here, commonly available in trade or possibly only found in the occasional plant collection, will automatically be added to the Permitted List, as long as the plant is not also a proscribed weed in any state with legal requirements to eradicate or manage. This publication is one outcome of the project, and is aimed at a large range of users from Commonwealth, state and local government officers, to researchers, horticulturists, nursery owners, farmers, landscapers, consultants and groups of volunteers looking after remnant bushland. Everyone who uses plants needs to be aware of the weed potential of those plants and to be able to make informed decisions about which ones to use in their operations. I hope to see a time, and not that far away, where the use of weedy plant species will no longer be accepted in public and private plantings in Australia. This publication is offered to help people to make responsible decisions in the types of plants they use in the future.

With plants in particular, any definitions of introduction, incursion and invasion are full of grey areas. Different authors have offered their own definitions of the suite of terms used in invasion biology and although researchers familiar with this area are mostly in agreement the same cannot be said for others, especially those involved in plant introductions. The word ‘introduced’ as used in the title itself needs explanation. In this context, the most commonly accepted definition of introduction is: As a result of dispersal, propagules ... arrive at a site beyond their previous geographical range and establish populations of adult plants (Richardson et al. 2000). This definition implies that plants need to establish self-reproducing populations to be called introduced, but that is in fact the next step beyond introduction called colonisation, where the introduced plants first develop self-sustaining populations.

We conducted ethnobotanical walks and semi-structured interviews on 24 farms to characterize all tree and shrub species. In total, we recorded 142 species with a predominance of natives (88) versus exotics (54). Species richness ranged between four and 40 (X = 25.17; SD = 10.13) per farm and was homogeneous among the municipalities (P > 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test). We recorded 52 wild species, eight of them endemic, all representative of the surrounding native flora, of which 23 % had some type of use. Cultivated species were mostly represented by exotics that had been planted primarily as live fences, ornamentals, or edibles.

  • 10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms
    10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms For seedling recruitment to occur seeds need to be dispersed into an environment that promotes germination and seedling survival. Dispersal consists of two phases. Primary dispersal is defined as the initial transport of seeds or seed-bearing fruits (collectively seeds and fruits are called diaspores) to the ground or water body, or for aerial parasites, a host branch. Secondary dispersal relates to any subsequent movement to the seed’s final resting place. Primary dispersal may be active (e.g. seeds released explosively from the fruit, e.g. dehiscence (opening) of Hardenbergia pods), passive (e.g. seeds fall out when the capsules of Eucalyptus open), or require a vector to aid in seed removal (e.g. wind uplift of winged seeds of Hakea or winged fruits of Nuytsia; Amyema berries consumed by mistletoe birds). Secondary dispersal involves either a biotic (e.g. ants) or environmental (e.g. wind, water) vector, and it is usually a different mechanism than that involved in primary dispersal. While primary dispersal is usually only for a few metres, secondary dispersal may cover several kilometres, and sometimes thousands for tiny seeds. This chapter covers some of the dispersal mechanisms exhibited by the SouthWest flora following their release. Terminology used to describe seed dispersal mechanisms is provided in Table 10.1. Table 10.1: Seed dispersal terminology. Term Definition Anemochory Wind dispersed Chamaechory Dispersal by rolling along the ground (wind assisted) Zoochory Animal dispersed (general) Myrmecochory Ant dispersed Ornithochory Bird dispersed Mammalochory Mammal dispersed Hydrochory Water dispersed Barochory Unassisted (gravity causes seeds to drop to the ground) Autochory Dispersal assisted by the actions of the parent plant (e.g.
