(Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is newly recorded as a sparingly naturalised weed for New South Wales and represents new family, generic and species records for the state. Descriptions, notes and identification key are provided for the family, genus and species. Introduction Strelitzia nicolai Regel & Körn. (Giant White Bird of Paradise or Natal Wild Banana; Strelitziaceae), a native of South Africa, is a common horticultural subject in eastern Australia. Recently a small colony of plants was discovered at Minnie Water (c. 60 km NNE of Coffs Harbour, North Coast, New South Wales). The colony is of note as some plants were 8 m tall (suggesting they had been there for some time) and that they were setting viable seed. Seedlings were found within this population and Milne and Luxton have observed that the species is being found in increasing numbers on council land and in National Parks of the area.

  • Traditional Aboriginal Names BH Shire.Indd
    TRADITIONAL ABORIGINAL PEOPLES NAMES FOR THE NATURAL REGIONS AND FEATURES IN THE HILLS SHIRE LOCAL STUDIES INFORMATION Darug Language Group Darug1 according to Arthur Capell in 19702, was the name of the Aboriginal Peoples language group for most of the Sydney region. The Darug language has been divided into two dialects according to location; coastal and inland - the border between these two dialects was first mentioned by diarist Watkin Tench in 1793 as being just to the west of Parramatta.3 In 1987 Jim Kohen published a dictionary for the Darug inland dialect that was based on words (not place names) recorded by: - 4 Collins, Hunter and Tench in the 1790s, John Rowley in 1878 and R.H. Mathews in 1903. It is likely that the boundary between the coastal clans and inland clans ran north along the Pennant Hills Road ridge, then west along Castle Hill Road and north towards Cattai Ridge Road, Glenorie and then west to the Hawkesbury. Clans were usually named after the place where people lived, or a totem they revered.5 Clans in The Hills Shire would have included the Tuga, Burramatta, Cattai, and Bidji. It seems that the majority probably spoke the inland dialect. Their use of different resources in The Hills Shire’s natural regions of river flats, ridge tops and valleys would have caused them to give these regions special names. Regional Names Reverend William Branwhite Clarke, while headmaster of The King’s School at Parramatta and Sunday preacher to the people of the Castle Hill and Dural areas, recorded in his diary entry for November 6 18406, nine traditional placenames given to him by Narguigui7, chief of South Creek: - Darug Geographic Area Comments & Possible Meaning of Place name 8 1.
