This is based on a Threatened Species Assessment Tool developed by Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria that was used to provide a framework to assess and prioritise the inclusion of threatened species into landscape plantings. The tool includes information and scoring for cultivation requirements, conservation benefits and horticultural potential which are the foundation of the assessment. Additional benefits specific to the City of Melbourne and potential weed threat were also considered as part of the assessment process. Higher priority was given to species which are the most threatened and are indigenous to the City of Melbourne.  From this assessment process, a priority list of 56 species has been short-listed as appropriate threatened species for planting.    For inclusion in the Threatened Species Assessment Tool, all species were required to be listed as threatened in Victoria.  Scores were calculated based on the following: Cultivation Requirements Subtotal = Cultivation Protocols + Propagation Protocols Conservation Subtotal = Germplasm Source + Conservation Status + Germplasm Origin + Provenance + Additional Conservation Benefit Total Score = Cultivation Requirements Subtotal + Conservation Subtotal + Additional Local Benefits Subtotal Total Score including Horticultural Potential = Cultivation Requirements Subtotal + Conservation Subtotal + Additional Local Benefits Subtotal + Horticultural Potential  Thresholds were set in certain categories which resulted in the removal of species from priority selection. Species with cells marked with an asterisk (*) were removed from the final priority plant list. In addition, an overall Total Score threshold of 20 was chosen for final species selection.  This dataset is based on the “City of Melbourne Threatened Plant Living Collection Plan” produced by R. Larke, M. Hirst and J. Arnott of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, and N.S.G. Williams of the University of Melbourne.
