The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Global Centers of Vascular Plant Diversity (2005, background): “The five most speciose genera of the Southwest Australia Center (Acacia, Eucalyptus, Grevillea, Stylidium, Melaleuca) constitute about 20 % of all 5,710 native species of vascular plants (BEARD et al. 2000).”
Climate change, plant migration, and range collapse in a global biodiversity hotspot: the Banksia (Proteaceae) of Western Australia (2008, background): “Southwestern Western Australia is a Mediterraneantype ecosystem and global biodiversity hotspot that contains more than 8500 species, 62% of which are endemic (Cowling & Lamont, 1998; Beard et al., 2000).”
A behavioural ecology approach to understand volunteer surveying for citizen science datasets (2012, background): “Under-sampled habitat types are also home to threatened and locally endemic plants and birds (Beard 1980a; Beard et al. 2000), although these habitats are found far from Perth, generally in the wheatbelt where most of the vegetation (130 000 km2) has been cleared (Saunders et al. 1993).”
OCBIL theory: towards an integrated understanding of the evolution, ecology and conservation of biodiversity on old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (2009, background): “Attempts to account for attributes of OCBIL biota from a single cause such as adaptation to soil types (Beard et al. 2000) or fire (see below) are fraught.”
