Plantssnails, slugs or caterpillars, but plants seemed to be able to withstand a smalldegree of leaf damage by regrowing new leaves from the central meristem.Despite the observed grazing, 81% of plants survived after 56 weeks, suggestingthat grazing does not constitute an immediate threat to survival. So far the siteappears to be an ideal weed-free habitat for the species. We intend to continuemonitoring the trial and time will tell whether the long-term sustainability of thetranslocation will be assured through recruitment of new individuals.Major difficulties faced The extreme steepness of the slope at the translocation site made plantingand monitoring difficult. Invertebrate predation was observed on some plants over a year ofmonitoring, and will need to be monitored to ensure it does not become a longtermproblem. Recruitment was difficult to assess in the early stages because of a denseherbaceous layer. New recruits may only become evident after they reach acertain size and emerge from this layer.Major lessons learned Selecting a translocation site as similar as possible (aspect, slope, vegetationassociations) to the original habitat was very important for the success of thistranslocation. Invertebrate grazing did not significantly affect survival of plants over one year,but may cause long-term issues and will continue to be monitored. Recruitment of new plants may be a slow process, as no new individuals wereseen one year after planting, even though flowering and seed production wereprolific during the previous season. Ambiol applied as a seed pretreatment had no effect on survival, growth orhealth of plants. This may be because the translocation site received amplerainfall and plants were not subjected to water stress. Preconditioning seedwith Ambiol is thought to promote drought tolerance in many plants.Success of projectHighly Successful Successful Partially Successful FailureReasons for success/failure: The survival rate after the first year was good (81%), and 97% of all survivingplants were healthy, even though some invertebrate grazing was observed. Itmay be too early to observe recruitment yet, as young plants may remainhidden beneath the herbaceous layer until they emerge. Long-term success ispredicated on successful recruitment and this will continue to be monitored. Selection of a suitable habitat for the translocation site was critical to success. Use of locally-sourced seed may have contributed to successful plantestablishment because of similar climate and habitat features to the seedlings’original habitat.275
