SOUTHWESTERN Ebach et al. 2015
Available Names:
Southwestern Ebach et al. 2015: 274
Sub-Realm:
AUSTRALIA (de Candolle 1820)
Region:
SOUTHWEST AUSTRALIA Diels 1906
Sub-Region:
SOUTHWESTERN
Diagnosis:
Triangular area in Western Australia between Shark Bay and Esperance, bounded in the southwest by the coastline.
Type-locality:
Mount Magog, Stirling Range National Park, WA, Australia, 34°23’39.00”S 117°56’48.00”E.
The Southwestern sub-region is proposed herein as the region that encompasses much of the high
biodiversity found closer to the coast. The area is closer to that described by Tate (1889) as “restricted to the south-west
corner of West Australia, and approximately coinciding with the rain-fall limit of twenty inches” (Tate 1889: 315),
which is noted on his Rainfall Map. The area is also larger than that of Ladiges et al. (2011) (see Ebach et al. 2013:
324).
