Volume 2, Part 2 , page 73 Central Ranges 2.4 SITES OF UNDETERMINED SIGNIFICANCE IN THE NT PORTION OF THE CENTRAL RANGES BIOREGION Site: 25-1-PL1 Northern Mann Ranges Level of significance: undetermined Location: 25 57' S 129 47' E; This site is in the far south west of the study area. Area: 514 km2 Map sheet: Petermann Ranges SG 52-07 Bioregion: Central Ranges (CR) Tenure: Freehold - Petermann Aboriginal Land Trust (100% of site) Description: The site includes the northern extremity of the Mann Ranges, which occur more widely and extensively in South Australia. The site is mapped as two discrete polygons. Notes: A poorly surveyed area. Further field work is required to quantify the anticipated botanical values. Taxa of Australian significance: none Taxa of NT significance: Amyema miraculosa subsp. boormanii {3k only known in CR from this site}, Einadia nutans subsp. nutans {3rC- only known in CR from this site}, Enneapogon intermedius {3k}, Eremophila elderi {3k}, Eremophila serrulata {3k (border)}, Hakea minyma {3k}, Trichodesma zeylanicum var. grandiflorum {2r} Taxa of Southern NT (study area) significance: none Taxa of bioregional significance: none Other taxa only known in CR bioregion (NT portion) from this site: Bothriochloa ewartiana, Paspalidium constrictum, Ptilotus nobilis var. nobilis, Senna artemisioides subsp. filifolia Vegetation Map Units (mapped as occurring at the site on the 1:1000,000 NT Vegetation Survey Map): Map unit 90 (74 %): Triodia irritans (Porcupine Grass) open-hummock grassland. Map unit 73 (5 %): Acacia tetragonophylla (Dead Finish), Acacia kempeana (Witchetty Bush) sparse-shrubland with herb/grassland understorey. Map unit 65 (5 %): Acacia aneura (Mulga) tall open-shrubland with Eragrostis eriopoda (Woolybutt) open-grassland understorey. Map unit 94 (15 %): Triodia basedowii (Hard Spinifex) hummock grassland with Allocasuarina decaisneana (Desert Oak) low open-woodland or Acacia tall sparse-shrubland overstorey. Site: 25-2-AD1 Northern Musgrave Range Level of significance: undetermined Location: 25 57' S 131 6' E; Approximately 70 km due south of Uluru. Area: only mapped as point location Map sheet: Ayres Rock SG 52-08 Bioregion: Central Ranges (CR) Tenure: Freehold - Peterson Aboriginal land Trust Description: This nominal site is comprised of extensive outcropping of granite. Notes: This area requires further detailed survey. A collection of Melaleuca fulgens subsp. corrugata was made from these ranges in South Australia - approximately 10 km south of the Northern Territory border. Taxa of Australian significance: none Taxa of NT significance: none Taxa of Southern NT (study area) significance: none Taxa of bioregional significance: none
