Volume 2, Part 2, page 313 Tanami Site: 19-2-PL1 Central Tanami Paleodrainage Depression Level of significance: undetermined Location: 19 32' S 130 55' E; Central Tanami Desert. Area: 514 km2 Map sheet: Tanami East SE 52-16 Bioregion: Tanami (TAN) Tenure: Freehold - Central Desert Aboriginal Land Trust (100% of site) Description: Large area broadly circumscribed by the extent of recent alluvial and lacustrine deposition. Notes: This area is geomorphologically similar to site 20-1-1 (Tanami Paleodrainage Systems). The extensive Paleodrainage systems in the Central Tanami Desert require further botanical investigation. Taxa of Australian significance: none Taxa of NT significance: none Taxa of Southern NT (study area) significance: none Taxa of bioregional significance: none Vegetation Map Units (mapped as occurring at the site on the 1:1000,000 NT Vegetation Survey Map): Map unit 77 (1 < %): Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex), Triodia schinzii (Feathertop Spinifex) hummock grassland with Acacia tall sparse-shrubland overstorey between dunes. Map unit 76 (70 %): Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex), Triodia schinzii (Feathertop Spinifex) hummock grassland with Acacia tall sparse-shrubland overstorey. Map unit 65 (28 %): Acacia aneura (Mulga) tall open-shrubland with Eragrostis eriopoda (Woolybutt) open-grassland understorey. Site: 19-2-PL2 Wilson Creek and Floodout Level of significance: undetermined Location: 19 15' S 130 17' E; ca. 100 km north east of Tanami Settlement. Area: 216 km2 Map sheets: Tanami SE 52-15 & Tanami East SE 52-16 Bioregion: Tanami (TAN) Tenure: Freehold - Central Desert Aboriginal land Trust (93% of site); Pastoral Lease - Suplejack Station (6% of site) Description: This poorly explored area includes Wilson Creek and its floodout. The site is bounded by the extent of alluvial and lacustrine deposits. Taxa of Australian significance: none Taxa of NT significance: Heliotropium pulvinum {3K} Taxa of Southern NT (study area) significance: Fimbristylis cinnamometorum {(disjunct & apparently rare) only known in study area from this site} Taxa of bioregional significance: none Vegetation Map Units (mapped as occurring at the site on the 1:1000,000 NT Vegetation Survey Map): Map unit 111 (12 %): Halosarcia (Samphire) low open-shrubland fringing bare salt pans. Map unit 77 (39 %): Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex), Triodia schinzii (Feathertop Spinifex) hummock grassland with Acacia tall sparse-shrubland overstorey between dunes. Map unit 76 (33 %): Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex), Triodia schinzii (Feathertop Spinifex) hummock grassland with Acacia tall sparse-shrubland overstorey. Map unit 38 (14 %): Eucalyptus brevifolia (Snappy Gum) low open-woodland with Triodia pungens (Soft Spinifex) hummock grassland understorey.
