Banksia Vincentia (Proteaceae), a New Species Known from Fourteen Plants from South-Eastern New South Wales, Australia
Phytotaxa 163 (5): 269–286 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2014 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.163.5.3 Could this be Australia’s rarest Banksia? Banksia vincentia (Proteaceae), a new species known from fourteen plants from south-eastern New South Wales, Australia MARGARET L. STIMPSON1, JEREMY J. BRUHL1 & PETER H. WESTON2 1 Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351 Australia Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] 2 National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia Abstract Possession of hooked, distinctively discolorous styles, a broadly flabellate common bract subtending each flower pair, and a lignotuber place a putative new species, Banksia sp. Jervis Bay, in the B. spinulosa complex. Phenetic analysis of individuals from all named taxa in the B. spinulosa complex, including B. sp. Jervis Bay, based on leaf, floral, seed and bract characters support recognition of this species, which is described here as Banksia vincentia M.L.Stimpson & P.H.Weston. Known only from fourteen individuals, B. vincentia is distinguished by its semi-prostrate habit, with basally prostrate, distally ascending branches from the lignotuber, and distinctive perianth colouring. Its geographical location and ecological niche also separate it from its most similar congeners. Introduction The Banksia spinulosa complex has a complicated taxonomic history (Table 1). Smith (1793) first described and named B. spinulosa Sm., and subsequent botanists named two close relatives, B. collina R.Br. and B. -
Resource Partitioning Among Five Sympatric Mammalian Herbivores on Yanakie Isthmus, South- Eastern Australia
Resource partitioning among five sympatric mammalian herbivores on Yanakie Isthmus, south- eastern Australia Naomi Ezra Davis Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Department of Zoology The University of Melbourne i Abstract This thesis combines multiple approaches to improve our understanding of large herbivore ecology and organisation in a contemporary assemblage made up of species with independent evolutionary histories on Yanakie Isthmus, Wilsons Promontory National Park, Victoria, Australia. In particular, this thesis compares niche parameters among populations of five sympatric native and introduced herbivore species by simultaneously assessing overlap in resource use along two dimensions (spatial and trophic) at multiple scales, thereby providing insight into resource partitioning and competition within this herbivore assemblage. Faecal pellet counts demonstrated that inter-specific overlap in herbivore habitat use on Yanakie Isthmus was low, suggesting that spatial partitioning of habitat resources had occured. However, resource partitioning appeared to be independent of coevolutionary history. Low overlap in habitat use implies low competition, and the lack of clear shifts in habitat use from preferred to suboptimal habitats suggested that inter-specific competition was not strong enough to cause competitive exclusion. However, low overlap in habitat use between the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus and other species, and preferential use by rabbits (and avoidance by other species) of the habitat that appeared to have the highest carrying capacity, suggested that rabbits excluded other grazing herbivores from preferred habitat. High overlap in habitat use was apparent between some species, particularly grazers, indicating some potential for competition if resources are limiting. -
The Vegetation of Robinson Crusoe Island (Isla Masatierra), Juan
The Vegetation ofRobinson Crusoe Island (Isla Masatierra), Juan Fernandez Archipelago, Chile1 Josef Greimler,2,3 Patricio Lopez 5., 4 Tod F. Stuessy, 2and Thomas Dirnbiick5 Abstract: Robinson Crusoe Island of the Juan Fernandez Archipelago, as is the case with many oceanic islands, has experienced strong human disturbances through exploitation ofresources and introduction of alien biota. To understand these impacts and for purposes of diversity and resource management, an accu rate assessment of the composition and structure of plant communities was made. We analyzed the vegetation with 106 releves (vegetation records) and subsequent Twinspan ordination and produced a detailed colored map at 1: 30,000. The resultant map units are (1) endemic upper montane forest, (2) endemic lower montane forest, (3) Ugni molinae shrubland, (4) Rubus ulmifolius Aristotelia chilensis shrubland, (5) fern assemblages, (6) Libertia chilensis assem blage, (7) Acaena argentea assemblage, (8) native grassland, (9) weed assemblages, (10) tall ruderals, and (11) cultivated Eucalyptus, Cupressus, and Pinus. Mosaic patterns consisting of several communities are recognized as mixed units: (12) combined upper and lower montane endemic forest with aliens, (13) scattered native vegetation among rocks at higher elevations, (14) scattered grassland and weeds among rocks at lower elevations, and (15) grassland with Acaena argentea. Two categories are included that are not vegetation units: (16) rocks and eroded areas, and (17) settlement and airfield. Endemic forests at lower elevations and in drier zones of the island are under strong pressure from three woody species, Aristotelia chilensis, Rubus ulmifolius, and Ugni molinae. The latter invades native forests by ascending dry slopes and ridges. -

Mrs. Margaret Easter LW PLANTS 23 Wroxham Way, Harpenden, Hertfordshire. AL5 4PP Telephone 01582 768467 Website www.thymus.co.uk 2013 CATALOGUE I hold National Plant Collections ® of Thymus (Scientific Status), Hyssopus and Satureja. In 2013 the garden will be open for Plant Heritage on Sunday, 2nd June from 2.0 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. It is a plantsman's garden planted for year round interest and for wildlife. All the plants in my catalogue are propagated from the plants I grow in my garden. LW Plants is a back-garden nursery; plants from a plantsman's garden. I have been an organic gardener for more than 25 years and since 2004 I have also been peat free. Please note that a few plants may only be available in very small quantities and some may not be available all year round. OPENING HOURS 11.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., most days, but please telephone first. I am happy to arrange private visits to my garden, for up to 50 people, with a donation to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. I also give talks to horticultural societies and other groups and am on the RHS, the Hardy Plant Society and Plant Heritage speakers lists. Please note that I am no longer able to offer mail order for Thymus, nor can I propagate thyme to order. I may be one of the new breed of pensioner, but I am now having to accept that anno domini is beginning to catch up with me! I had a fall a couple of hours before my Open Day in July 2011, which damaged my knee and another fall at the end of March 2012, when I fractured the large heel bone in my foot; fortunately both have now recovered. -
Growth and Reproduction of New Zealand Acaena (Rosaceae) Species in Relation to Rarity and Commonness
LLOYD ET AL.: GROWTH AND REPRODUCTION OF ACAENA 149 Growth and reproduction of New Zealand Acaena (Rosaceae) species in relation to rarity and commonness Kelvin M. Lloyd1*, William G. Lee2 and J. Bastow Wilson1 1Botany Department, University of Otago, P.O. Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand 2Landcare Research, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand *address for correspondence: Landcare Research, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand (E-mail: [email protected]) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In New Zealand, as elsewhere, research on rare species has been dominated by autecological studies of individual threatened species. Limitations of this approach are that it involves no comparison with related common species which may have similar traits, and that the minimal sample size prevents generalisation about causes and consequences of rarity. We report on experimentally determined growth and reproductive traits of 10 rare and common Acaena (Rosaceae) species from two taxonomic sections (sect. Ancistrum and sect. Microphyllae). We examined the relationship between rarity or commonness and relative growth rate, mode of vegetative expansion, morphology/presentation of reproductive structures and reproductive allocation. Rarity and commonness were defined according to geographic range size, measured as the number of 10-km grid squares containing at least one record of the species. There were tendencies across both taxonomic sections for species with large range size to have higher relative growth rates and in section Microphyllae, faster lateral expansion. Among section Ancistrum species, common species tended to produce inflorescences for a shorter period and held their capitula higher above the canopy, but other reproductive attributes showed little association with range size. -

Plant Lists, a Common Sense Guide
Plant Lista common sense guide Careful plant selection is the key to creating a healthy and easy to maintain landscape. This guide will help you choose plants adapted to the Northwest. Plants on this list are either low-water use, resistant to insects and diseases or native to western Washington. Many Northwest gardens include non-native and native plants, which provide the gardens with beautiful foliage, patterns and textures. This guide also highlights plants selected by the Great Plant Picks program by using a leaf symbol. Great Plant Picks is a regional plant awards program designed to help the home gardener identify unbeatable plants for maritime Pacific Northwest gardens. It is sponsored by the Elizabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden. For more information visit www.greatplantpicks.org. Every time you plant, fertilize, water or control pests in your garden, choose methods that protect your pets and your family’s health.
