Volume 2, Part 2, page 286 Tanami Site: 19-1-1 Gardiner Range Level of significance: bioregional Location: 19 28' S 129 4' E; Central western Tanami Desert. Area: 353 km2 Map sheet: Tanami SE 52-15 Bioregion: Tanami (TAN) Tenure: Freehold - Mount Frederick Aboriginal Land Trust (98% of site) and Mount Frederick (No.2) Aboriginal Land Trust (1% of site) Description: This site includes the Gardiner Ranges, Pingidijarra Hills and Mallee Hill and their internal catchments and floodouts (the floodout woodlands are dominated by Corymbia flavescens). The site is bounded to the west by the Western Australian border. The ranges are predominantly composed of Gardiner sandstone. Notes: In addition to its importance for the conservation of rare and poorly known plant taxa, this site is thought to support rare and restricted plant communities. Criteria satisfied: A1 a ii), A1 b ii), B1 b1 ii) Taxa of Australian significance: Corymbia pachycarpa subsp. glabrescens {3K [W]} Taxa of NT significance: Acacia stipulosa {3k [S]}, Buchnera asperata {3kC- (border) only known in study area from this site}, Centipeda racemosa {3k}, Corchorus pumilio {3kC-}, Cullen corallum {3k}, Dicrastylis doranii {3k}, Eucalyptus cupularis {3r}, Gomphrena leptophylla {3k}, Indigofera ammobia {3k}, Jacksonia aculeata {3k}, Pluchea tetranthera {3k}, Polymeria A93357 Western Tanami {3k (border) only known in NT from this site}, Senna curvistyla {3k}, Trianthema oxycalyptra var. oxycalyptra {3r}, Triodia latzii {3k}, Triumfetta clivorum subsp. brevipetala {3k only known in TAN from this site}, Triumfetta johnstonii {3k} Taxa of Southern NT (study area) significance: Ipomoea plebeia {(apparently rare) only known in study area from this site}, Microcarpaea minima {(disjunct & rare) only known in TAN from this site}, Tephrosia oblongata {(disjunct) [S] only known in study area from this site}, Vallisneria nana {(disjunct)}, Xyris complanata {(disjunct)}, Zornia chaetophora {(disjunct)} Taxa of bioregional significance: Corynotheca micrantha var. divaricata {TAN (northern range limit) [N]}, Cyperus aquatilis {TAN (apparently rare) only known in study area from this site}, Cyperus microcephalus subsp. chersophilus {TAN (apparently rare) only known in study area from this site}, Dicliptera armata {TAN (apparently rare) only known in study area from this site}, Dodonaea polyzyga {TAN (apparently rare and southern range limit) [S] only known in study area from this site}, Eucalyptus gamophylla {TAN (northern range limit) [N]}, Leptosema chambersii {TAN (northern limit) [N]}, Oldenlandia spermacocoides {TAN (apparently rare and southern range limit) [S] only known in study area from this site}, Philydrum lanuginosum {TAN (apparently rare) only known in study area from this site}, Rotala occultiflora {TAN (disjunct)}, Stemodia A65613 Tanami {TAN (western range limit) [W]}, Trema tomentosa var. viridis {TAN (apparently rare) only known in TAN from this site} Other taxa only known in TAN bioregion (NT portion) from this site: Cyperus cunninghamii subsp. cunninghamii Type locations of the following were collected from the site: Triodia latzii Vegetation Map Units (mapped as occurring at the site on the 1:1000,000 NT Vegetation Survey Map): Map unit 76 (60 %): Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex), Triodia schinzii (Feathertop Spinifex) hummock grassland with Acacia tall sparse-shrubland overstorey. Map unit 38 (40 %): Eucalyptus brevifolia (Snappy Gum) low open-woodland with Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex) hummock grassland understorey.
