Removed the status from genus level |
I'm not sure it helps because other species in the genus need to be reviewed, but I've reviewed the Prasophyllum for Queensland against the Queensland Confidential Species List and updated where necessary (if I updated something, or added, I've left geoprivacy obscured)
OK Prasophyllum australe Status already applied to species
OK Prasophyllum brevilabre Updated QLD status
OK Prasophyllum campestre Added NT status for QLD
OK Prasophyllum elatum Status already applied to species
OK Prasophyllum exilis =Prasophyllum exile. Added status for QLD
OK Prasophyllum flavum Updated status from EN to SL
OK Prasophyllum incompositum Added NT status for QLD
OK Prasophyllum odoratum Added status for QLD
OK Prasophyllum parvicallum =Genoplesium parvicallum. Added status for QLD
OK Prasophyllum patens Added status for QLD
OK Prasophyllum wallum Added VU status for QLD
Thanks @craig-r ! I'm starting to think it may have been intentional, looking at the link on the flag (https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/species-search/details/?id=12688) it seems to indicate QLD considers the whole genus to be confidential. I assume they mean only the species of the genus that occur in QLD as it feels a bit odd having species that don't occur in QLD with a conservation status from there.
@peggydnew or @lwnrngr are you able to shed any light on it or if this is how we should handle it?
It looks like there may have been a taxon change that has lead to the conservation status for QLD being applied to the genus instead of the individual species. This status is currently being applied to species that do not occur in QLD.
