Smilacaceae
The ANHAT database has 15069 records for 19 species and subspecies of
Smilacaceae. No species of Smilacaceae are considered extinct.
One species accounts for approximately 40% of the total species records in ANHAT
(Table 318). This species has over 6000 records.

Six species had 30 or fewer individual site records in the ANHAT database (Table
319). Of those species, no species are classified as threatened. There are too few
species available to realistically determine any patterns in the data. Exclusion of these
poorly recorded species eliminates 67 records.

Removal of the poorly recorded species leaves 15002 records in ANHAT for 13
species (and subspecies). The mean number of records per species for species with
greater than 30 records was 1154, with a mean of 46% of records in the NRS.
Seven species of Smilacaceae had 45% or greater of individual site records located
within PAs (
Table 320). Of those seven species, none are classified as threatened. These species
are located within eastern Australia. All have less than 80% of their record sites
within PAs.
