THE PTEROSTYLIS RUFA COMPLEX - BENTHAMS MISTAKE This Is the Text of a Talk Given Bill Kosky to the Australian Native Orchid Society (Victorian Group) on 10 May 2019
THE PTEROSTYLIS RUFA COMPLEX - BENTHAMS MISTAKE This is the text of a talk given Bill Kosky to the Australian Native Orchid Society (Victorian Group) on 10 May 2019 This talk is about somewhat similar, smaller, members of the Pterostylis rufa complex, P. rufa, P. squamata, P. aciculiformis, P. ferruginea, and P. pusilla. P. praetermissa, and other similar species from north of Sydney, are not considered here. The talk also provides insight into the rich history of Australia’s plants, and botanists, found in Australia’s Herbariam collections. Roughly the distribution of P. rufa is from north of Sydney to around Nowra; P. squamata (so called) from Nowra into the eastern half of Victoria and Tasmania; P. aciculiformis in a band across the central latitudes of Victoria into NSW and SA, with a disjunct population in East Gippsland; P. ferruginea Victoria west from the Grampians into SA; and P. pusilla in a band from central Victoria west into SA, unlike the others extending part way into the dryer northern parts of Victoria and SA. Taxonomy. The hierarchy of taxonomy can be likened to Wikipedia. That is the last valid ranking of a species takes precedence over an earlier one. Any new species named requires a type specimen (or in earlier times a specimen collection) to be nominated, and that type stands as the primary reference for that species. Bracts are modified leaves. Those that grow on and more or less embrace an orchids stem are referred to as stem bracts or sterile bracts. (In the past also as scales or empty scales, and in recent times, as stem leaves).

Northampton FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. CALM is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan replaces number 68 Northampton Midget Greenhood (Pterostylis sp. Northampton) (R. Phillimore et al. 2000). This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from July 2004 to June 2009 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full Recovery Plan will be assessed.

Email: [email protected] Table S1 (below) comprises a list of seed producing genera occurring in rainforest in Australia and various island groups in the South Pacific, along with any available information on the seed storage behaviour of species in those genera. Note that the list of genera is not exhaustive and the absence of a genus from a particular island group simply means that no reference was found to its occurrence in rainforest habitat in the references used (i.e. the genus may still be present in rainforest or may occur in that locality in other habitats). As the definition of rainforest can vary considerably among localities, for the purpose of this paper we considered rainforests to be terrestrial forest communities, composed largely of evergreen species, with a tree canopy that is closed for either the entire year or during the wet season.
