propellor plant

Surveys of this small mat-forming prostrate woody undershrub may be undertaken at any time of year as identifiable features are present at all times. However, any survey efforts need to take into account the species’ diminutive nature and the difficulties involved in identifying potentially heavily browsed specimens. Flowering occurs from November through to February, with a peak in December. The species may proliferate from soil-stored seed following fire.
Stenanthemum pimeleoides is restricted to Tasmania’s central East Coast and the Northern Midlands, where it occurs in dry sclerophyll forest or woodland with an open heathy or shrubby understorey. The topography tends to be flat to gently sloping. The species occurs in the drier parts of the State, within the 500 to 800 mm isohyets, and usually at altitudes below 100 m.

Permit: A permit is required under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 to 'take' (which includes kill, injure, catch, damage, destroy and collect), keep, trade in or process any specimen or products of a listed species. Additional permits may also be required under other Acts or regulations to take, disturb or interfere with any form of wildlife or its products, (e.g. dens, nests, bones). This may also depend on the tenure of the land and other agreements relating to its management.
