  • Seed Morphology in Thysanotus and Related Genera of Asparagaceae: Lomandroideae: Cordylineae
    56 Seed morphology in Thysanotus and related genera of Asparagaceae: Lomandroideae: Cordylineae Udani M. Sirisena1,2, Terry D. Macfarlane3 and John G. Conran4 1Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, WA 6983 2ecologia Environment, 1025 Wellington Street, West Perth, WA 6005 3Western Australian Herbarium, Manjimup Research Centre, Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 2, Manjimup, WA 6258 4Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA 5005 Corresponding author email: [email protected] The limited literature on seed morphology in Asparagaceae subfamily Lomandroideae indicates that, although taxonomically useful, seed characters are largely unknown for Thysanotus and related genera. Although there are two clear tribal lineages within subfamily Lomandroideae—Lomandreae and Cordylineae—only the former are morphologically readily recognisable. Accordingly, seed morphology in Thysanotus and related members of Cordylineae was investigated in order to determine which characteristics may have systematic and/or phylogenetic value. Seed patterns were phylogenetically informative and observed variation in seeds distinguished different species and different groups of species; for example, angular seeds were unique to most of the annual climbing Thysanotus species, while elongated seeds with long-stalked arils were restricted to all 3-staminate Thysanotus species. All studied Cordylineae (including Thysanotus) shared numerous common seed morphological features, such as polygonal epidermal cells and convex periclinal walls. In particular, Murchisonia and Thysanotus possessed a large number of common seed characteristics, supporting recent molecular results that show Murchisonia to be polyphyletic and nested within Thysanotus.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

  • Aboriginal Plant Use and Technology
    Aboriginal Plant use and Technology Stone eel and fish traps Technology Definition: The application of knowledge and an experience to create products and ways of meeting societies needs through the use of resources for particular purposes. The application of knowledge to create technologies is an integral part of the heritage and future of Australia. It is also essential to sustainable development. In traditional Aboriginal societies science and technology were used to manage the environment for the benefit of all people. A great variety of tools, weapons and utensils were used to gather plants for food, fibres and medicine as well as to hunt animals for food and clothing. In the manufacture of these tools and weapons rocks such as obsidian and quartz were attached to wood to create excellent cutting edges. These rocks in fact produce a cleaner, smoother cutting surface than steel. To attach the stones resins were used. The basic pattern of Aboriginal life was similar throughout Australia: small groups of people moved with the seasons over a particular territory. Their knowledge of seasonal changes in the environment and the ecology of plants and animals was very important in the search for food. All people used a similar range of equipment which included: • netting and trapping equipment • digging sticks • cutting and chopping tools • hunting and fighting equipment eg spears, boomerangs • equipment to prepare food e.g. grinding stones • containers eg bowls (coolamons) AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDENS EDUCATION SERVICES, 2000 Some of these were only used in certain parts of Australia e.g. the returnable boomerang was unknown to Aborigines in the north and centre of Australia.

  • NEW RECORDS of SECONDARY THICKENING in MONOCOTYLEDONS Paula Rudall a Secondary Thickening Meristem Is Recorded for the First
    lAWA Journal, Vol. 16 (3),1995: 261-268 NEW RECORDS OF SECONDARY THICKENING IN MONOCOTYLEDONS by Paula Rudall Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, United Kingdom SUMMARY A secondary thickening meristem is recorded for the first time in some herbaceous taxa of Asparagales (Herreria montevidensis and Thysanotus spiniger), and the new records are assessed in a systematic context. Key words: Secondary thickening meristem, monocotyledons, Aspara­ gales. INTRODUCTION All monocotyledons lack a vascular cambium, which is typically a single persistent row of cells producing phloem centrifugally and xylem centripetally. However, some monocotyledons achieve stem thickening by means of a different type of lateral meristem, either a primary thickening meristem (PTM) near the apex, together with diffuse secondary growth (as in palms), or a secondary thickening meristem (STM) further away from the apex (as in some Asparagales; see Rudalll991, for review). The PTM and STM are probably developmentally related, although there is complex tissue involvement. In taxa with an STM, the PTM and STM may sometimes be longitudi­ nally continuous, at least at some stage in the life cycle (Stevenson 1980). Virtually all monocotyledons have a PTM, but among tree-forming or woody taxa this has developed along different lines, probably more than once, either as an exten­ sive apical PTM, as in palms, or as an STM, in some Asparagales (see below). The PTM and STM are not homologous with the vascular cambium, as they are tiered (etagen) meristems which produce distinct vascular bundles (of both xylem and phloem) in a parenchymatous ground tissue (Fig. 1-3), mainly centripetally.

Lyons and Allan H. Burbidge Department of Conservation and Land Management, PO Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia 6065, Australia Abstract This paper reports the first detailed study of the vascular flora of 2 the southern Carnarvon Basin, an area of c. 75000 km • A total flora of 2133 taxa of vascular plants was listed for the area. There are eight major conservation reserves which have 1559 taxa present in them. Most of the 574 unreserved taxa are wetland taxa, taxa of tropical affinities or those only present on the Acacia shrublands of the central basin. Vegetation patterning at a regional scale showed the major floristic boundary in the south west of the study area, which in turn reflected the major climatic gradients of the area. The other major influence on vegetation patterning was soil type. INTRODUCTION temperate - arid change-over zone (Gibson, Despite Shark Bay being the site of very early Burbidge, Keighery and Lyons, 2000). visitation and study by several European expeditions (Beard, 1990; Keighery, 1990; George, 1999) the area was until recently still poorly known METHODS botanically. Beard (1975, 1976a) prepared structural vegetation maps for the whole area at a 1: 1 000000 Study area scale and Payne et al.
