Rare spidery wattle could vanish from South Australia

New research says South Australia’s spidery wattle (Acacia araneosa) has fallen by about 98% since the late 1830s. It now survives in only two small populations near the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary area, making it one of the state’s most at-risk native plants.

Scientists say drought and grazing by introduced animals like rabbits, goats and sheep have made it hard for seedlings to survive and for the plant to recover. Genetic tests also suggest the remaining plants are losing diversity, which increases inbreeding risk and reduces resilience. Conservation teams are fencing off areas, planting nursery-grown seedlings, and banking around 2,000 seeds in South Australia and the UK. Researchers are calling for the species to be upgraded to Critically Endangered and added to the IUCN Red List.

Today would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday.

The famous wattle portrait depicts the newly crowned Queen at 28 years old.

It was painted by Australian artist Sir William Dargie to commemorate the 1954 Royal Tour of Australia.
