Despite their low species numbers, hornworts represent a key group for understanding the evolution of plant form because the best–sampled current phylogenies place them as sister to the tracheophytes. Despite their low taxonomic diversity, the group has not been monographed worldwide. There are few well-documented hornwort floras for temperate or tropical areas. Moreover, no species level phylogenies or population studies are available for hornworts. Here we aim at filling some important gaps in hornwort biology and biodiversity. We provide estimates of hornwort species richness worldwide, identifying centers of diversity. We also present two examples of the impact of recent work in elucidating the composition and circumscription of the genera Megaceros and Nothoceros.

  • Cone Production in Equisetum Arvense
    Cone Production in Equisetum arvense P. J. Brownsey; T. C. Moss; B. V. Sneddon Wellington Equisetum arvense L., the field horsetail, is an invasive and persistent weed introduced from the northern hemisphere. It grows by means of perennial underground rhizomes which spread widely and produce, each spring, aerial shoots that may either be strictly vegetative or terminate in reproductive cones (strobili). Vigorous growth ofthe rhizome in suitable habitats leads to rapid colonisation. Once established, the field horsetail is difficult to exterminate and, quite rightly, it is regarded by the man of the soil as a dangerous weed. However, horsetails are of considerable academic interest to botanists since they belong to a systematically isolated group of ancient lineage, and the curious absence of native species in Australasia has been lamented by John Lovis (1980) "as a positive hindrance in the teaching of systematic botany here in New Zealand". The occurrence of E. arvense as an adventive species in New Zealand thus provides a welcome source of material for the teacher, although the production of cones is often inconveniently erratic or even non-existent. In view of Equisetum's reputation in Europe as a serious weed, it comes as something of a surprise to discover that it was probably first introduced to New Zealand by no less a person than Leonard Cockayne. Annotated summaries of Cockayne's letters recently published by A. D. Thomson (1979) indicate that by April 1900 he had acquired four species of Equisetum from Karl Goebel in Munich and was growing them in his garden at New Brighton.

Flora and Vegetation Zones of Washington State, 0 USA. Fayla will discuss the geological and geographical bases for vegetation distribution in the area and then show slides and talk about a number of plant species in western Washington/Puget Sound area, the montane and subalpine areas on Mt. Rainier, and in eastern Washington. Fayla is a biology and botany instructor at Everett Community College in Washington, and has a PhD in Botany from the University of Washington. 6 December, Saturday, 9 am. Mt Watkin podocarp forest. Trip leader: Ralf Ohlemiiller. After recent trips to the area of Mt. Watkin north of Dunedin and the discovery of its significance for a number of rare species (see BSO newsletter 38), we will now have a closer look at the forests near the "bottom" of this remarkable volcano. These sheltered forests in the gullies running off Mt Watkin harbour a wide range of mature specimens of podocarp, such as matai, rimu, totara and kahikatea - rare remnants of the magnificent lowland forest that once clothed much of eastern Otago. Ralf has studied species richness patterns in forest fragments in coastal Otago and also tried to reconstruct the potential natural forest vegetation of the area. He will talk about his work on the day.We will be walking off track, so bring solid shoes, outdoor equipment, rain gear and lunch. A hand lens is recommended. Return to Dunedin, approx.

Before I took over the responsibility as editor, the newsletter was presented with a cover page. Since the opportunity arose. I thought it may be appropriate to return to this style, albeit a little different. In keeping with our regional theme I put forward the suggestion that the cover page of each issue feature either people. places or plants in Australasian bryology- in this case a photograph of a prominent Tasmanian hryologist. William Weymouth. Alternatively, vve may be able to develop a standard cover with a combination of these features. This is not a novel idea as many of the journals and similar newsletters feature a cover photograph or illustration. hut if nothing else it gets my editorial off the front page. Whatever, I would be interested to hear your views. critical or otherwise. and any other comments you may have on this change of style. :'vloreover. it' you think you can provide a suitable cover photograph or illustration then forward it to me along with accompanying notes. I should point out that the cover for this issue was taken from a small old photograph. hence the lack of quality in this instance.

THE BIOGEOGRAPHY, ECOLOGY AND ENDOPHYTE MYCORRHIZA OF THE NEW ZEALAND CORYBAS ALLIANCE (Orchidaceae) Specifically: Nematoceras iridescens (Irwin et Molloy) Molloy, D.L.Jones & M.A.Clem. (Species). A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Biology at Massey University Palmerston North New Zealand. Roger L. S. Watkins 2012 i Abstract No research on the fungal endophytes in the green New Zealand terrestrial orchids has been published. Identification of the endophyte resident in Nematoceras iridescens roots was accomplished by comparing hyphal septal ultra-structure and using TEM imaging of the hyphal septa, all of which indicated that the genus Tulasnella was involved. The Tulasnella species was identified using molecular techniques focused on sequencing of the ribosomal RNA locus on the ITS1–5.8S–ITS2 nuclear ribosomal gene. The endophytic fungi, resident in the host plant N. iridescens and the germinating seed of this species, were identified for the first time as strains of Tulasnella calospora. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy (LM) and Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) was used to investigate spatial distribution of the endophyte hyphae within the plant. The SEM results identified four morphological types of hyphae: initiating, divaricating, intercellular and necrotised, or undergoing lysis. Peloton formation only occurred in specific areas of the root; mainly within the sub-epidermal and mid cortex cells.
