Threatened Species Management Plan for Kinglake National Park, – V 1.0, September 2001 Notes: restricted to swampy woodland on the eastern fringes of Toorourrong Reservoir, several small patches along the banks of the Yea River and along swampy tributaries of Island Creek beneath the transmission lines (Wombelano Block). 2011 observation: The wetland vegetation around Toorourrong Reservoir has been severely impacted by Deer and this species has not been relocated at the site since late 2009. Eleocharis pusilla Small Spike-sedge (Threatened in KNP) Notes: recorded from one very small patch close to the waters edge near the junction of the Plenty River with Toorourrong Reservoir. Lowland plains grassy wetland species. Isolepis fluitans Floating Club-sedge (Threatened in KNP) Notes: localised and rare in soaks under Woolly Tea Tree at Burgan Track and in a wetland depression on the east side of the Yea River (occurring with Square Twig-sedge and Southern Swamp Wallaby Grass). Isolepis hookeriana Tufted Club-sedge Notes: several plants observed in ephemeral soak depressions at Toorourrong Reservoir. Also recorded elsewhere in Kinglake N.P by Cliff Beauglehole (1983). Lepidosperma filiforme Common Rapier-sedge (Threatened in KNP) Notes: several plants recorded above Captains Creek Track, west of Boggy Creek Track. Also recorded by Cliff Beauglehole (1983). Common Rapier-sedge prefers damp heathy formations and is likely scattered at other locations in the Park. Lepidosperma tortuosum Tortuous Rapier-sedge (Threatened in Region) Notes: restricted to Broad Gully (where common) and localised with Slender Bog-sedge at Stuart’s Spur. Damp heathy forest species. Schoenus lepidosperma Slender Bog-sedge (Threatened in Region) Notes: restricted to Broad Gully (where common) and localised with Tortuous Rapier-sedge at Stuart’s Spur. Damp heathy forest species. Schoenus tesquorum Soft Bog-sedge (Threatened in KNP) Notes: recorded by Cliff Beauglehole (1983), location unknown. Possibly occurs at Toorourrong Reservoir. Tetraria capillaris Hair Sedge (Threatened in Region & KNP) Notes: highly localised at Broad Gully. Also recorded by Cliff Beauglehole (1983). Occurs in damp heathy formations. Uncinia tenella Delicate Hook-sedge (Threatened in KNP) Notes: observed by one of the authors (CB) around the bases of Soft Tree Fern in the headwaters of the Plenty River above Road 14 in 1989. Likely to occur elsewhere along streams on Mt Disappointment Plateau e.g. Wallaby Creek. HEMEROCALLIDACEAE Dianella laevis Pale Flax-lily (Threatened in KNP) Notes: Localised and rare in gully woodland south of Reedy Creek and at Dinsdale Road. Pale Flaxlily is scattered and uncommon throughout the lowland foothills of north-east Melbourne. It reaches its distributional limit in the southern area of the Everard Block. 44
Threatened Species Management Plan for Kinglake National Park, – V 1.0, September 2001 Dianella laevis var. aspera Rough Flax-lily Notes: recently described taxon, formerly referred to as Dianella caerulea. Common and widespread in heathy formations on spurs and slopes, east of the Plenty River. Dianella sp. aff. revoluta (montane) Montane Flax-lily Notes: currently in manuscript. Scattered and uncommon in heathy formations on spurs and slopes, east of the Plenty River. Often occurring with Dianella laevis var. aspera. HYDROCHARITACEAE Ottelia ovalifolia Swamp Lily Notes: localised and rare in the far southern section of the Park in several small dams of the Reedy Creek headwaters. Vallisneria americana Eel Grass Notes: restricted to Toorourrong Reservoir where an important habitat and feeding plant for waterbirds and Southern Pigmy-perch. The population has been drastically reduced post-fire due to deposition of tonnes of silt from the surrounding ranges. HYPOXIDACEAE Hypoxis hygrometrica var. villosisepala Golden Weather-glass (Threatened in KNP) Notes: restricted to the far southern section of the Park in gullies of Wild Dog Creek and Reedy Creek. Hypoxis vaginata Sheath Star (Threatened in KNP) Notes: highly localised and rare in soaks under Woolly Tea Tree at Burgan Track. IRIDACEAE Patersonia fragilis Short Purple-flag (Threatened in KNP) Notes: recorded by Cliff Beauglehole (1983), location unknown. Possibly occurs at Broad Gully. Occurs in damp heathy situations. JUNCACEAE Juncus flavidus Yellow Rush Notes: restricted to the fringes of Toorourrong Reservoir. Juncus pauciflorus Loose-flower Rush Notes: Several plants recorded at the tea tree swamp along the Poley Creek in 2011. Likely to occur elsewhere within the park along stream banks. Juncus phaeanthus Dark-flower Rush (VROT: Rare; ?Threatened in Region) Notes: The source of this record is unknown and requires confirmation. Dark-flower Rush is a rare species normally found in montane and alpine habitats. Juncus prismatocarpus Branching Rush (Threatened in Region) Notes: restricted to the verges of the Toorourrong Reservoir and in swampy sedgelands along the lower Plenty River. Branching Rush is rare in the Melbourne area, with the main distribution centered along the Yarra River and its floodplain. The population at Toorourrong is the largest in the Melbourne area. JUNCAGINACEAE Triglochin microtuberosum (VROT: Rare; Threatened in Region & KNP) 45
