The new species described below also grows near salt lakes but occurs more than 200 km further inland than V. halophila. It was first collected in 1926 from a salt lake near Southern Cross by Charles Gardner, who identified it as V. pennigera Endl. Gardner’s specimen remained the only collection until 1990, when three further collections were made. Elizabeth George treated the new taxon as a disjunct ‘eastern’ or ‘inland’ variant of V. halophila, noting that it differed from the western variant in being ‘more rigid but lower, spreading to 40–45 cm wide’ and in flowering more prolifically (George & Pieroni 2002: 318).

All have simple and entire leaves. The juvenile leaves of all species are prominently three-nerved and longer and broader than the mature leaves. Many species are often inconspicuous when not in flower. Plants display either a corymbose (branched) or paniculate (where the stems of individual flowers are longer for those that are lower so all flowers are about the same level) inflorescence with tubular flowers in blue, white or cream. The flowers may be hairy or glabrous. The floral bracts are persistent. D Above left: Blue Conospermum flower. Photo – Anne Cochrane Left: Conospermum flexuosum.

The programs are prepared in addition to Regional Management Plans to provide detailed information and guidance for the management and protection of certain exploited or threatened species (eg Kangaroos, Noisy Scrub- bird and Rose Mallee). This Program provides a brief description and information on the distribution, habitat and conservation status of flora declared as rare under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act (Threatened Flora) in CALM's Katanning District and makes recommendations for research and management actions necessary to ensure their continued survival. By ranking the Declared Rare Flora in priority order according to these requirements, Departmental resources can be allocated to those taxa most urgently in need of attention.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? 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. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html 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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • Andersonia Gracilis)
    SLENDER ANDERSONIA (Andersonia gracilis) RECOVERY PLAN Recovery Plan for Andersonia gracilis FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in WA Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) policy statements Nos 44 and 50. Note: the Department of CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. DEC will continue to adhere to these Policy Statements until they are revised and reissued. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible. This IRP will operate from September 2006 to August 2011 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the species is still ranked Vulnerable (WA), this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 23 August 2006 and approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 13 September 2006. The allocation of staff time and provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities. This IRP has been updated with information contained herein and is accurate as at January 2008. This IRP was prepared with financial support from the Australian Government and has been adopted as a National Recovery Plan under the provisions of the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
