Declared Rare Flora – Extant Taxa
Taxa which have been adequately searched for and are deemed to be in the
wild either rare, in danger of extinction, or otherwise in need of special
protection, and have been gazetted as such.
X:
Declared Rare Flor a – Presumed Extinct Taxa
Taxa which have not been collected, or otherwise verified, over the past 50
years despite thorough searching, or of which all known wild populations have
been destroyed more recently, and have been gazetted as such.
1:
Priority One – Poorly Known Taxa
Taxa which are known from one or a few (generally <5) populations which are
under threat, either due to small population size, or being on lands under
immediate threat, e.g. road verges, urban areas, farmland, active mineral
leases, etc., or the plants are under threat, e.g. from disease, grazing by feral
animals, etc. May include taxa with threatened populations on protected
lands. Such taxa are under consideration for declaration as ‘rare flora’, but are
in urgent need of further survey.
2:
Priority Two – Poorly Known Taxa
Taxa which are known from one or a few (generally <5) populations, at least
some of which are not believed to be under immediate threat (i.e. not currently
endangered). Such taxa are under consideration for declaration as ‘rare flora’,
but are in urgent need of further survey.
3:
Priority Three – Poorly Known Taxa
Taxa which are known from several populations, and the taxa are not believed
to be under immediate threat (i.e. not currently endangered), either due to the
number of known populations (generally >5), or known populations being
large, and either widespread or protected. Such taxa are under consideration
for declaration as ‘rare flora’ but are in need of further survey.
4:
Priority Four – Rare Taxa
Taxa which are considered to have been adequately surveyed and which,
whilst being rare (in Australia), are not currently threatened by any
identifiable factors. These taxa require monitoring every 5-10 years.

Appendix A:
Definitions of Threatened Ecological Communities
(DEC 2009b)
Presumed Totally Destroyed (PD)
An ecological community which has been adequately searched for but for which no
representative occurrences have been located. The community has been found to be
totally destroyed or so extensively modified throughout its range that no occurrence
of it is likely to recover its species composition and/or structure in the foreseeable
future.
An ecological community will be listed as presumed totally destroyed if there are no
recent records of the community being extant and either of the following applies ( A
or B):
A) Records within the last 50 years have not been confirmed despite thorough
searches of known or likely habitats or
B) All occurrences recorded within the last 50 years have since been destroyed
Critically Endangered (CR)
An ecological community that has been adequately surveyed and found to have been
subject to a major contraction in area and/or that was originally of limited distribution
and is facing severe modification or destruction throughout its range in the immediate
future, or is already severely degraded throughout its range but capable of being
substantially restored or rehabilitated.
An ecological community will be listed as Critically Endangered when it has been
adequately surveyed and is found to be facing an extremely high risk of total
destruction in the immediate future. This will be determined on the basis of the best
available information, by it meeting any one or more of the following criteria (A, B
or C):
A) The estimated geographic range, and/or total area occupied, and/or number
of discrete occurrences since European settlement have been reduced by at
least 90% and either or both of the following apply (i or ii):
i) geographic range, and/or total area occupied and/or number of discrete
occurrences are continuing to decline such that total destruction of the
community is imminent (within approximately 10 years);
ii) modification throughout its range is continuing such that in the
immediate future (within approximately 10 years) the community is
unlikely to be capable of being substantially rehabilitated.
B) Current distribution is limited, and one or more of the following apply (i,
ii or iii):
i) geographic range and/or number of discrete occurrences, and/or area
occupied is highly restricted and the community is currently subject to

known threatening processes which are likely to result in total destruction
throughout its range in the immediate future (within approximately 10
years);
ii) there are very few occurrences, each of which is small and/or isolated
and extremely vulnerable to known threatening processes;
iii) there may be many occurrences but total area is very small and each
occurrence is small and/or isolated and extremely vulnerable to known
threatening processes.
C) The ecological community exists only as highly modified occurrences that
may be capable of being rehabilitated if such work begins in the immediate
future (within approximately 10 years).
Endangered (EN)
An ecological community that has been adequately surveyed and found to have been
subject to a major contraction in area and/or was originally of limited distribution and
is in danger of significant modification throughout its range or severe modification or
destruction over most of its range in the near future.
An ecological community will be listed as Endangered when it has been adequately
surveyed and is not Critically Endangered but is facing a very high risk of total
destruction in the near future. This will be determined on the basis of the best
available information by it meeting any one or more of the following criteria (A, B,
or C):
A) The geographic range, and/or total area occupied, and/or number of
discrete occurrences have been reduced by at least 70% since European
settlement and either or both of the following apply (i or ii):
i) the estimated geographic range, and/or total area occupied and/or
number of discrete occurrences are continuing to decline such that total
destruction of the community is likely in the short term future (within
approximately 20 years);
ii) modification throughout its range is continuing such that in the short
term future (within approximately 20 years) the community is unlikely to
be capable of being substantially restored or rehabilitated.
B) Current distribution is limited, and one or more of the following apply (i,
ii or iii):
i) geographic range and/or number of discrete occurrences, and/or area
occupied is highly restricted and the community is currently subject to
known threatening processes which are likely to result in total destruction
throughout its range in the short term future (within approximately 20
years);

ii) there are few occurrences, each of which is small and/or isolated and
all or most occurrences are very vulnerable to known threatening
processes;
iii) there may be many occurrences but total area is small and all or most
occurrences are small and/or isolated and very vulnerable to known
threatening processes.
C) The ecological community exists only as very modified occurrences that
may be capable of being substantially restored or rehabilitated if such work
begins in the short-term future (within approximately 20 years).
Vulnerable (VU)
An ecological community that has been adequately surveyed and is found to be
declining and/or has declined in distribution and/or condition and whose ultimate
security has not yet been assured and/or a community that is still widespread but is
believed likely to move into a category of higher threat in the near future if
threatening processes continue or begin operating throughout its range.
An ecological community will be listed as Vulnerable when it has been adequately
surveyed and is not Critically Endangered or Endangered but is facing a high risk of
total destruction or significant modification in the medium to long term future. This
will be determined on the basis of the best available information by it meeting any
one or more of the following criteria (A, B or C):
A) The ecological community exists largely as modified occurrences that are
likely to be capable of being substantially restored or rehabilitated.
B) The ecological community may already be modified and would be
vulnerable to threatening processes, is restricted in area and/or range and/or is
only found at a few locations.
C) The ecological community may be still widespread but is believed likely to
move into a category of higher threat in the medium to long term future
because of existing or impending threatening processes.
