5.3.1 Flora and Vegetation
Flora and fauna assessment for the Calingiri study area Prepared for Muchea to Wubin Integrated Project Team (Main Roads WA, Jacobs and Arup) 5.3 FIELD SURVEY 5.3.1 Flora and vegetation A total of 296 plant taxa (including subspecies and varieties) representing 154 genera and 55 families were recorded in the study area. This total is comprised of 244 (82.4%) native species and 52 (17.6%) introduced (weed) species, and included 60 annual, 223 perennial species, one species that is known to be either annual or perennial and 12 unknown life cycles (Appendix 8). The current survey recorded a similar number of species to previous flora surveys conducted along GNH and higher average diversity (average number of taxa per km) (Table 5-7).

Grevillea Dryandroides Subsp. Hirsuta)
HAIRY PHALANX GREVILLEA (Grevillea dryandroides subsp. hirsuta) RECOVERY PLAN Department of Conservation and Land Management Kensington Recovery Plan for Grevillea dryandroides subsp. hirsuta FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) [now Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC)] 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 and, in the case of Critically Endangered (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from May 2006 to April 2011 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Vulnerable, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full recovery plan assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 13 February, 2006 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 22 February, 2006. The provision of funds and personnel identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities. -

(Dwellingup Synaphea) Conservation Advice
This conservation advice was approved by the Minister on: 10 December 2009 Approved Conservation Advice for Synaphea stenoloba (Dwellingup Synaphea) (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) 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 Synaphea stenoloba, Family Proteaceae, also known as the Dwellingup Synaphea, is a compact shrub that can grow to 50 cm high. The leaves are 5–40 cm long and tripinnate. The inflorescences are yellow and borne above the leaves to a height of 15 cm. Flowers can be seen in August but occur mainly from September to October (George, 1995; WA Herbarium, 2006). There are a number of Synaphea species that look very similar to the Dwellingup Synaphea and occur very close to the known subpopulations of this species. These species are Synaphea gracillima, Synaphea petiolaris, Synaphea sp. Fairbridge Farm and a hybrid between Synaphea gracillima and Synaphea petiolaris. The features that distinguish these species from the Dwellingup Synaphea are: The stigma is half moon shaped on all the similar taxa There are no hairs at all on the flowers of the Dwellingup Synaphea, whereas the flowers of Synaphea sp. Fairbridge Farm have hairs on the outside of the tepal The leaf lobes on the Dwellingup Synaphea are variable but are generally straight, long and acute. The divisions are irregular, whereas those of Synaphea sp. Fairbridge Farm have symmetrical divisions (Evans and English, 2000). Conservation Status The Dwellingup Synaphea is listed as endangered. -

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. The Department is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan replaces number 50 Synaphea quartzitica (G. Stack, and V. English, 1999). It incorporates current information on factors such as population, land tenure plant numbers and threats that, if changed from the previous plan, may affect appropriate recovery actions. In addition, it provides an update of which recovery actions have occurred. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from January 2003 to December 2007 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full Recovery Plan will be assessed. -
