Volume 2, Part 2, page 288 Tanami Site: 19-1-2 Pargee Level of significance: bioregional Location: 19 37' S 129 14' E; Central Tanami Desert Area: 230 km2 Map sheet: Tanami SE 52-15 Bioregion: Tanami (TAN) Tenure: Freehold - Mount Frederick Aboriginal Land Trust (90% of site) and Mount Frederick (No.2) Aboriginal Land Trust (9% of site) Description: This site is broadly delineated by the extent of outcropping sandstone which forms the Pargee Range. The Pargee range is low, rarely rising to above 500 m ASL (less than 100 m above the surrounding sandplain). The site includes the footslopes and floodouts associated with the range. Notes: Many of the botanical values are centred on and around a few rockholes/waterholes in the ranges. Criteria satisfied: A1 a ii), A1 b ii), B1 b1 ii) Taxa of Australian significance: Corymbia pachycarpa subsp. glabrescens {3K} Taxa of NT significance: Cyperus viscidulus {3k (border) only known in study area from this site}, Eucalyptus cupularis {3r} Taxa of Southern NT (study area) significance: Cajanus acutifolius {(disjunct & apparently rare) only known in TAN from this site}, Cyperus cuspidatus {(disjunct & apparently rare) only known in study area from this site}, Fimbristylis nuda {(disjunct & apparently rare)}, Gonocarpus chinensis s.lat. {(disjunct)}, Sesbania benthamiana {(disjunct) only known in study area from this site} Taxa of bioregional significance: Cyperus concinnus {TAN (western range limit) [W]}, Eleocharis nuda {TAN (apparently rare and western range limit) [W] only known in study area from this site}, Marsdenia viridiflora subsp. tropica {TAN (southern range limit) [S]}, Mukia A50961 Glen Helen Station {TAN (western range limit) [W]} Other taxa only known in TAN bioregion (NT portion) from this site: Amphipogon caricinus var. sericeus, Gomphrena cunninghamii Vegetation Map Units (mapped as occurring at the site on the 1:1000,000 NT Vegetation Survey Map): Map unit 38 (48 %): Eucalyptus brevifolia (Snappy Gum) low open-woodland with Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex) hummock grassland understorey. Map unit 76 (51 %): Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex), Triodia schinzii (Feathertop Spinifex) hummock grassland with Acacia tall sparse-shrubland overstorey.
