PhytoKeys 152: 27–104. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.152.49604 Abstract Close scrutiny of Goodenia (Goodeniaceae) and allied genera in the ‘Core Goodeniaceae’ over recent years has clarified our understanding of this captivating group. While expanded sampling, sequencing of multiple regions, and a genome skimming reinforced backbone clearly supported Goodenia s.l. as mono- phyletic and distinct from Scaevola and Coopernookia, there appears to be no synapomorphic characters that uniquely characterise this morphologically diverse clade. Within Goodenia s.l., there is strong support from nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial data for three major clades (Goodenia Clades A, B and C) and various subclades, which lead to earlier suggestions for the possible recognition of these as distinct genera. Through ongoing work, it has become evident that this is impractical, as conflict remains within the most recently diverged Clade C, likely due to recent radiation and incomplete lineage sorting. In light of this, it is proposed that a combination of morphological characters is used to circumscribe an expanded Goodenia that now includes Velleia, Verreauxia, Selliera and Pentaptilon, and an updated infrageneric clas- sification is proposed to accommodate monophyletic subclades. A total of twenty-five new combinations, three reinstatements, and seven new names are published herein including Goodenia subg. Monochila sect. Monochila subsect. Infracta K.A.Sheph. subsect. nov. Also, a type is designated for Goodenia subg. Porphyranthus sect. Ebracteolatae (K.Krause) K.A.Sheph. comb. et stat. nov., and lectotypes or secondstep lectotypes are designated for a further three names. Copyright Kelly A. Shepherd et al.

Shepherd et al. / PhytoKeys 152: 27–104 (2020) Keywords Goodenia, Goodeniaceae, nomenclature, phylogeny, taxonomy, Velleia Introduction Representatives of the predominantly Australian family Goodeniaceae R.Br, a close relative to the cosmopolitan Asteraceae Bercht. & J.Presl (Tank and Donoghue 2010), have been the focus of various studies in recent years. The first molecular phylogeny of generic exemplars by Gustafsson et al. (1996) indicated that the monotypic and closely allied Brunoniaceae Dumort. was, in fact, embedded within Goodeniaceae. This was previously hypothesised by Carolin (1992a), due to the shared presence of a unique cup-like pollen presenter positioned at the apex of the style referred to as an indusium (Carolin 1960). Howarth et al. (2003) (and later expanded in Jabaily et al. 2014), studied the origin of Hawaiian species of Scaevola L., the only genus in the family with significant diversity outside of Australia (see table 1 in Jabaily et al. 2012). These studies confirmed thatScaevola dispersed from Australia into the islands of the Pacific at least four times, starting in the late Miocene and continuing into the Pliocene, and that homoploid hybridisation subsequently contributed to the extant diversity appar- ent across the islands today (Howarth and Baum 2005). Our team completed the first comprehensive phylogeny of the family utilising cp- DNA from 212 (out of 400+) species across 12 genera (Jabaily et al. 2012). Two major clades were identified within the family, the smaller of the two being the LAD clade composed of Lechenaultia R.Br., Anthotium R.Br., and Dampiera R.Br. with the remain- ing nine genera falling in the larger ‘Core Goodeniaceae’ clade (Fig. 1). Within the Core Goodeniaceae the monotypic Brunonia australis Sm. ex R.Br. placed sister to two large clades comprising Scaevola s.l. and Goodenia Sm. s.l., respectively. Generic-level taxo- nomic problems were noted in both clades. Firstly, the monotypic Diaspasis filifolia R.Br. was shown to be embedded within Scaevola while Goodenia s.l. (represented by a subset of 60 species), resolved into three major clades (denoted A, B, C), and was rendered paraphyletic due to the inclusion of Coopernookia Carolin, Selliera Cav. (Fig. 2I), Velleia Sm. (Fig. 2E), Verreauxia Benth., Scaevola collaris F.Muell. (Fig. 2B) and the monotypic Pentaptilon E.Pritz. This phylogeny was built using 3117 base-pairs of cpDNA includ- ing trnL-F and matK, and while phylogenetic support values were high for many smaller clades, the backbone topology of Goodenia s.l. was weakly supported in most analyses. A few subgeneric taxonomic groupings were largely monophyletic (e.g. subg. Monochila (G.Don) Carolin, subg. Goodenia subsect. Ebracteolatae K.Krause), but many were not (e.g. subg. Goodenia subsect. Goodenia and subsect. Coeruleae (Benth.) Carolin). Fur- thermore, other subgeneric groupings were not included or placed (e.g. sect. Porphyran- thus G.Don, sect. Amphichila DC., and ser. Calogyne (R.Br.) Carolin of subg. Goodenia). Clarifying the relationships among Goodenia clades A, B, C and the smaller af- filiate genera was necessary in order to identify monophyletic groups for taxonomic Recircumscription of Goodenia (Goodeniaceae) 29 100 Asteraceae + Calyceraceae 94 100 Lechenaultia 100 LAD 100 94 100 Anthotium 100 100 Dampiera 100 100 100 Brunonia Core G 100 100 Goodenia s.l. 100 84 Goodenia, Selliera, oodeniaceae 100 Coopernookia, Velleia, 98 Verreauxia, Pentaptilon 100 Scaevola s.l. 98 Scaevola, Diaspasis Figure 1.

We could not seek to make changes to Goodenia s.l. without, at minimum, full and consistent resolution of the backbone relationships and confidence in the species-level composition of each major clade. To try and address this issue, the power of next-generation sequencing was leveraged for a subset of taxa (Gardner et al. 2016a). Twenty-four taxa representative of almost all major clades within Core Goodeniaceae, including 19 accessions from Goodenia s.l. (except subsect. Scaevolina and a subset of species from subsect. Goodenia placed in Clade C), were sequenced using genome- skimming technology. The majority of coding regions of the chloroplast

  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

  • Palatability of Plants to Camels (DBIRD NT)
    Technote No. 116 June 2003 Agdex No: 468/62 ISSN No: 0158-2755 The Palatability of Central Australian Plant Species to Camels Dr B. Dorges, Dr J. Heucke, Central Australian Camel Industry Association and R. Dance, Pastoral Division, Alice Springs BACKGROUND About 600,000 camels (Camelus dromedarius) are believed to inhabit the arid centre of Australia, mainly in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Most of these camels are feral. A small camel industry has developed, which harvests selected animals for domestic and export markets, primarily for meat. Camels can eat more than 80% of the common plant species found in Central Australia. Some plant species are actively sought by camels and may need to be protected. METHOD Observations of grazing preferences by camels were made periodically for up to 12 years on five cattle stations in Central Australia. Where camels were accustomed to the presence of humans, it was possible to observe their grazing preferences from a few metres. Radio transmitters were fitted on some camels for easy detection and observation at any time. These evaluations were used to establish a diet preference or palatability index for observed food plants. Table 1. Palatability index for camels Index Interpretation 1 only eaten when nothing else is available 2 rarely eaten 3 common food plant 4 main food plant at times 5 preferred food plant 6 highly preferred food plant 7 could be killed by camel browsing More information can be obtained from the web site of the Central Australian Camel Industry Association http://www.camelsaust.com.au 2 RESULTS Table 2.

  • Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
    Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there.
