CELIA ROSSER BANKSIA LADY 1 2 3 a LEGACY of BOTH ART and SCIENCE Erin Mathews Curator, Gippsland Art Gallery CELIA ROSSER BANKSIA LADY 1 2 3 A LEGACY OF BOTH ART AND SCIENCE Erin Mathews Curator, Gippsland Art Gallery One of Gippsland’s treasures, botanical artist Celia Rosser, is best known for the significant three-volume series of monographs The Banksias, published between 1981 and 2000, which contained watercolour paintings of every Banksia species then known. Celia began working on this life-altering project in 1974 when she was appointed the Monash University Botanical Artist.1 She spent the next twenty-five years meticulously painting the 76 Banksias illustrated in the folios. The publication of these volumes was the first time such a large genus of plant had been painted by a single botanical artist.2 These impressive and majestic books are now in collections around the world, and have most notably been presented to Queen Elizabeth II by the Australian Government as a gift of the Australian people.3 Celia has received many commendations for her superb Banksia illustrations, including the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 19954, and the Jill Smythies Award for Botanical Illustration, presented by the Linnean Society of London in 1997.5 The description of the Jill Smythies Award sums up the remarkable nature of Celia’s work, and reveals why her botanical illustrations are so highly regarded. This Award was bestowed “…in recognition of excellence in published illustrations in aid of plant identification, with the emphasis on botanical accuracy and the accurate portrayal of diagnostic characteristics.”6 Monash University also recognised Celia’s contribution to the scientific community by awarding her an honorary Master of Science degree in 1981, and an honorary PhD in 1999.7 However, Celia regards her greatest honour to be the naming of a new species after her.8 Banksia rosserae is native to Western Australia, and was discovered in the early 2000s, after the completion of her final volume. Celia was the first to paint this new discovery, and this final work marks the 77th Banksia illustration. This notable artwork was a turning point for Celia, as one of the first works she produced independently after the conclusion of The Banksias. The exhibition Banksia Lady celebrates Celia’s contribution to both the scientific and artistic world. Coinciding with her 90th birthday the exhibition showcases original watercolours alongside botanical specimens collected by Celia herself. Drawing on loans from both the Monash University Museum of Art and the artist’s private collection, this exhibition highlights the time-consuming nature of Celia’s work, as well as the attention to detail evident in every piece. According to Celia, each work for The Banksias took on average three months to complete. The watercolour works—executed in realistic colour with fine brushes—are testament to her artistic skill. Complementing these works in the exhibition are cuttings and 4 samples of the Banksia plants on loan from the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens. These specimens allow visitors to view the plants that inspired Celia’s botanical illustrations. 1 “The Artist” Webpage, Celia Rosser Gallery,<http:/www.celiarossergallery.com.au/celia-rosser-the-artist.html> accessed 30.6.20.

Wildlife Research Centre, P.O. Box 51 , Wanne roo, W.A., 6065 This last newsletter is certainly a "bumper" edition. I've been swamped by wonderfully interesting and informative articles sent in by volunteers. Unfortunately Ross Bradstock's "Plant Population Dynamics Under Varying Fire Regimes" arrived just too late to be included. I will be happy to send a copy of this article to anyone who reque sts it. Very many thanks to contributors for Newsletter No. 5 - Le's Gray, Alf and Esme Salkin, Arnold Berkin, Rosemary Opala, Norma Ali, Rauleigh Webb, Joan Adams, Cyril Henshaw, and Neil Marriott, not forgetting the artists David Hutchison, Rosemary Opala and Sue Patrick. I've really enjoyed reading all the articles sent in for past and present newsletters and hope other people have as well. Accompanying this newsletter is a questionnaire to be filled in by anyone who received a recording kit. The idea is to obtain feedback about the project from those who were on the receiving end, i.e. you the volunteers! If you didn't ever get around to filling in a sheet, don't worry, we're not out to get you! You don't even need to put a name on your reply - although you can if you want to. I'm hoping for a very high return rate so please don't put the questionnaire aside and then forget to do it.

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.
