  • Conservation Advice Zieria Parrisiae J.D. Briggs & J.A. Armstr. (Rutaceae)
    1 Zieria parrisiae J.D. Briggs & J.A. Armstr. (Rutaceae) Distribution: Endemic to NSW Current EPBC Act Status: Endangered Current NSW TSC Act Status: Critically Endangered Proposed change for alignment: upgrade to Critically Endangered on EPBC Act Conservation Advice: Zieria parrissiae J.D. Briggs & J.A. Armstr. (family Rutaceae). Summary of Conservation Assessment Zieria parrissiae is eligible for listing as Critically Endangered under Criterion B1ab(iii) (v) and B2ab (iii) (v); C2a(ii). The main reasons for the species being eligible for listing in the Critically Endangered category are i) that the species has a very highly restricted geographic range with an area of occupancy (AOO) estimated to be approximately 4 km2 based on a single 2 x 2 km grid cell, the scale recommended for assessing AOO by IUCN (2016) AND an extent of occurrence (EOO) that is also 4km2 based on a minimum convex polygon enclosing all mapped occurrences of the species, the method of assessment recommended by IUCN (2016); ii) a continuing decline is projected in area and extent and quality of habitat and the number of mature individuals due to wildfire, drought and severe browsing; and iii) there are less than 250 mature individuals and all are in one population. Assessment against IUCN Red List criteria Criterion A Population Size reduction. Assessment Outcome: data deficient. Justification: Insufficient data to assess. Criterion B Geographic range Assessment Outcome: Critically Endangered under Criterion B1 (a), (b) (iii) (v). B2 (a), (b) (iii) (v). Justification: The species is known from one area representing an extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) of 4 km2.

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).

  • Two Centuries of Botanical Exploration Along the Botanists Way, Northern Blue Mountains, N.S.W: a Regional Botanical History That Refl Ects National Trends
    Two Centuries of Botanical Exploration along the Botanists Way, Northern Blue Mountains, N.S.W: a Regional Botanical History that Refl ects National Trends DOUG BENSON Honorary Research Associate, National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Sydney NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Published on 10 April 2019 at https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/LIN/index Benson, D. (2019). Two centuries of botanical exploration along the Botanists Way, northern Blue Mountains,N.S.W: a regional botanical history that refl ects national trends. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 141, 1-24. The Botanists Way is a promotional concept developed by the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden at Mt Tomah for interpretation displays associated with the adjacent Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (GBMWHA). It is based on 19th century botanical exploration of areas between Kurrajong and Bell, northwest of Sydney, generally associated with Bells Line of Road, and focussed particularly on the botanists George Caley and Allan Cunningham and their connections with Mt Tomah. Based on a broader assessment of the area’s botanical history, the concept is here expanded to cover the route from Richmond to Lithgow (about 80 km) including both Bells Line of Road and Chifl ey Road, and extending north to the Newnes Plateau. The historical attraction of botanists and collectors to the area is explored chronologically from 1804 up to the present, and themes suitable for visitor education are recognised. Though the Botanists Way is focused on a relatively limited geographic area, the general sequence of scientifi c activities described - initial exploratory collecting; 19th century Gentlemen Naturalists (and lady illustrators); learned societies and publications; 20th century publicly-supported research institutions and the beginnings of ecology, and since the 1960s, professional conservation research and management - were also happening nationally elsewhere.

  • Conservation Advice on 15/07/2016
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister’s delegate approved this Conservation Advice on 15/07/2016. Conservation Advice Zieria prostrata Headland zieria Conservation Status Zieria prostrata (headland zieria) is listed as Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) effective from the 16 July 2000. The species was eligible for listing under the EPBC Act at that time as, immediately prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as Endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Species can also be listed as threatened under state and territory legislation. For information on the listing status of this species under relevant state or territory legislation, see http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/sprat.pl The main factors that are the cause of the species being eligible for listing in the Endangered category are its restricted distribution, small population size. Description The headland zieria is a prostrate shrub forming mats about 0.5 m in diameter. The branches are ridged but not warted as in some other Zieria species. The leaves are paired and divided into three narrow-oval leaflets, all with blunt ends and the central one longer than the others. Both leaf-surfaces are of similar colour and are dotted with oil-glands. The flowers are small, white (pink in bud) and have four petals. The fruits are red-green and dotted with oil-glands (OEH 2014a). Zieria species are distinguished from other Australasian genera in the Rutaceae family by the combination of opposite leaves, conspicuous and 4-merous flowers, free petals, four stamens, free filaments, deeply 4-lobed disc and dry, dehiscent fruits (Armstrong, MS.).

  • 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.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Zieria Obovata
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 1/10/2008 Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Zieria obovata This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Zieria obovata, Family Rutaceae, is a small, diffuse, hairy shrub to 1 m. Leaves are opposite, on very short stalks, and with three leaflets. Leaflets are dark green and almost hairless on the upper surface (except on the midrib), light green and hairy with simple hairs on the lower surface, and lack tubercles. Leaflet margins are strongly curved or curled towards the lower surface. Inflorescences are in axils and are longer than the subtending leaves, with 1–3 cream to pale pink flowers 5–6 mm in diameter. Fruit have occasional pubescence on the apex, and are gland-dotted. Zieria minutiflora is closely related to Zieria obovata but has densely hairy leaves and inflorescences are usually shorter than the subtending leaves (Armstrong, 2002; Duretto & Forster, 2007). Conservation Status Zieria obovata is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Zieria obovata is also listed as vulnerable under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Queensland) under the name Zieria aspalathoides var.

  • Agnes Banks Nature Reserve Report.Pdf
    AGNES BANKS NATURE RESERVE WALK 26 SEPTEMBER 2020 Agnes Banks Nature Reserve is on the East bank of the Hawkesbury River near Richmond on a small area of windblown sands which overlays alluvial deposits from ancient river systems (65 million years ago). The reserve is a remnant of the original area as most of the deposit has been mined for the sand. It is a unique vegetation community to Western Sydney as it includes species of plants which are more commonly found growing on sandstone on the coast. 15 ParraHills members and friends met to explore the Reserve on 26 September. There was so much to see that we actually didn’t get very far in the two hours of the walk! There are five Endangered or Vulnerable vegetation communities in the reserve. Castlereagh Swamp Woodland, Castlereagh Ironbark Forest, Castlereagh Scribbly Gum Woodland, Agnes Banks Woodland and Shale Gravel Transition Forest. We explored some of the Agnes Banks Woodland and some of the Castlereagh Swamp Woodland. We joked after our two hour walk that, if our group is to explore other areas in the future, we will need to put blindfolds on everyone, and lead them through the first few hundred metres to the next section. We saw quite a few species with which we were reasonably familiar as well as those which we do not see at all in our area. One of these was Ricinocarpos pinifolius which was flowering prolifically. The species of Smokebush found in the reserve is Conospermum taxifolium which is fairly common on the coast but not seen in our area.

  • 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.
