Table 2. Identified centres of plant biodiversity in South Australia.

Region	Biodiversity assets	Associated conservation issues
1.Western Kangaroo Island	1. Higher than expected GWE and GPE; 2. Concentrations of conservation-dependent species and categorical endemics; 3. High species richness	1. High fire frequency
2. Southern Mount Lofty Ranges	1. Higher than expected GWE and GPE; 2. Concentrations of conservation-dependent species; 3. High species richness	1. High levels of habitat fragmentation; 2. Many introduced species
3. APY lands (NW South Australia)	1. Higher than expected GWE and GPE	1. High fire frequency; altered fire regimes; 2. Management of Buffel Grass invasion
4. Southern Flinders Ranges	1. Concentrations of conservation-dependent species; 2. High species richness	1. High grazing disturbance levels; 2. High climate sensitivity
5. Southern Eyre Peninsula	1. Concentrations of conservation-dependent species and categorical endemics; 2. High species richness	1. High levels of habitat fragmentation; 2. Many introduced species
6. Lower South East	1. Higher than expected GWE and GPE; 2. Concentrations of conservation-dependent species (herbarium data)	1. High levels of habitat fragmentation
