Threatened and priority flora report form

The Threatened priority flora report form is one of the main tools for monitoring threatened plants in Western Australia.  

  • Threatened priority flora report form (Word version—can be completed electronically, and then printed or emailed for submission)
  • Threatened and priority flora report form - field manual (explanations for the terms used in the form to ensure consistency). 

You also need to complete the Threatened priority flora report form as a condition of some flora licences and Threatened Flora Authorisations.

Please refer to the Western Australian Herbarium to lodge plant specimens for their collection—do not use this form.
