TY - JOUR A1 - Auld, Tony D. A1 - Bower, Sue A1 - Hutton, Ian T1 - Assessing the conservation status of the grass Elymus multiflorus subsp. kingianus on Lord Howe Island, NSW T2 - Cunninghamia : a journal of plant ecology for eastern Australia N2 - The grass Elymus multiflorus subsp. kingianus (family Poaceae) is considered to be endemic to Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands. We assessed the conservation status of the taxon on Lord Howe Island, New South Wales, and undertook targeted field surveys across three years and several seasons in suitable habitat, based on the single previously recorded location. We found the species occurrence on Lord Howe Island was highly restricted, with only a few plants found at 2 locations in close proximity. A number of exotic grasses pose a threat to the long-term conservation of the taxon, which was assessed as being eligible for listing as critically endangered under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995.
