Combretaceae
The ANHAT database has 17998 records for 39 species and subspecies of
Combretaceae. No species of Combretaceae are considered extinct.
Six species account for approximately 50% of the total species records in ANHAT (
Table 260). These species have over 950 records each with Terminalia ferdinandiana
being represented by over 2000 records.

Two species had 30 or fewer individual site records in the ANHAT database (Table
261). Neither species is classified as threatened. There are too few species and too
little information available to determine any patterns in the species in this category.
Exclusion of these poorly recorded species eliminates 14 records.

Removal of the records for the poorly recorded species leaves 17984 records for 37
species (and subspecies). The mean number of records per species for species with
greater than 30 records was 486, with a mean of 25% of records in the NRS.
Six species of Combretaceae had 45% or greater of individual site records located
within PAs (
Table 262). Of those six species, no species are classified as threatened. These
species are found in eastern or northern Australia.
