The article focuses on the study on weeds, and propagule type translocation in Whibley Wattle in Australia. Whibley Wattle, or Acacia whibleyana, is a dense shrub which grows to 2.5 meters high, and 4 meters across. The species was considered as endangered by the federal Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act of 1999. The study conducted a recovery plan for the Acacia whibleya through translocation as a potential recovery action. The study was conducted within 10 years to find out the interaction of founder propagule with effects on regeneration by the weed competition.Manfred Jusaitis and Lesley Polomk
