We have been fortunate in securing for this meeting the leader of the Grevillea Study Group Mr. Peter Olde. We will meet at 10.30am at the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens Princes Highway, about 5km south of Batemans Bay After Peter’s presentation, and lunch at the Gardens, we will travel to Moruya for a look at some Grevilleas growing at Mark and Carolyn Noake’s garden, and then participate in a practical propagation session. Please bring morning tea and lunch. Those wishing to do so may purchase lunch from the Chefs Cap Café at the gardens. As we will walk around the Noake garden, comfortable walking shoes and a hat are advisable. There is plenty of seating at the ERBG, but you will need to put in a chair for use at Mark and Carolyn’s. See page 2 for details of these activities Future activities Due to Easter falling in the first week of April, the committee is discussing whether the April walk will be deferred till the 11th,. More on this next newsletter Our next meeting on May 2nd, is another treat for members. We will have to travel a bit, but Fern expert Kylie Stocks will let us in on the secrets of growing ferns successfully.

Hawksworth Plant Pathologist Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station Agriculture Handbook No. 469 Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture December 1974 CONTENTS Page Introduction ^ Mistletoes and Hosts 3 Host Index of Mistletoes 27 Literature Cited ^^ Library of Congress Catalog No. 74-600182 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington B.C. 20402 Price 75 cents Stock Number 0100-03303 MISTLETOES ON INTRODUCED TREES OF THE WORLD INTRODUCTION Spaulding (1961) published the first attempt at a worldwide inven- tory of the diseases of foreign (introduced) trees of the world. With the widespread introduction of trees to many parts of the world, it is becoming of increasing importance to know the susceptibility of trees introduced to new disease situations. Spaulding's comprehensive lists included forest tree diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses, but not the mistletoes. Therefore this publication on the mistletoes was prepared to supplement his work. Spaulding considered only forest trees, but the coverage here is expanded to include mistletoes parasitic on introduced forest, crop, orchard, and ornamental trees. In some instances, mistletoes are reported on trees cultivated within different parts of a country where the tree is native. Such records are included if it is indicated in the publication that the mistletoe in question is on planted trees. "Mistletoe" as used in this paper refers to any member of the fam- ilies Loranthaceae or Viscaceae.

  • Budawangia* an E-Newsletter for All Those Interested in the Native Plants of the Nsw South Coast
    BUDAWANGIA* AN E-NEWSLETTER FOR ALL THOSE INTERESTED IN THE NATIVE PLANTS OF THE NSW SOUTH COAST Contact: Dr Kevin Mills – [email protected] No. 28 - July 2014 Aims: To connect those interested in the native flora of the NSW South Coast, to share up to date information on the flora of the region and to broaden the appreciation of the region’s native plants. Editorial July, the middle of winter, is perhaps not the most inviting time to get out into the bush, windy and cold weather discouraging excursions too far from home. There is however much to see in the bush at this time of year. Many rainforest plants have fruit, the foggy highlands provide good opportunities for early morning photographs, while the winter-flowering Banksias are putting on a show on the foreshores and in the woodlands. This edition contains an article on mistletoes, those plants that parasitise other plants. These shrubs play an important role in the ecology of forests and woodlands and recent research has identified them as critical to the well being of many animal species. The purpose of „plant of the month‟ is to discuss some of the more uncommon species in our region. This month we have Acacia hispidula, an uncommon wattle of the sandstone country. As usual, another mystery weed is presented, along with an article about two noxious weeds in the genus Xanthium and another article in the series on wetland plants. I am glad readers are finding the newsletter enjoyable and informative; comments such as the following encourage me to keep it going: Les from Kangaroo Valley - “Thanks for a very interesting issue.” Diane from Nowra - “Thanks Kevin.

  • A Regional Examination of the Mistletoe Host Species Inventory
    354 Cunninghamia 8(3): 2004 Downey, Examination of the mistletoe host inventory A regional examination of the mistletoe host species inventory Paul Owen Downey Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, CSIRO Plant Industry, GPO Box 1600, Canberra, ACT 2601, AUSTRALIA. Present Address Institute of Conservation Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522 AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Abstract: Downey (1998) collated an inventory of mistletoe host species based on herbaria records for every aerial mistletoe species (families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae) in Australia. In this paper the representative nature of those host lists is examined in an extensive field survey of mistletoes and their host species in south-eastern New South Wales (including Australian Capital Territory). Four new host species not in the 1998 inventory, and eight new mistletoe-host combinations (i.e. a previously recorded host but not for that particular mistletoe species) were collected. These new records were distributed throughout the survey area. Interestingly, these new host-mistletoe combinations were for mistletoe species that were well represented in the national inventory (i.e. with many herbarium collections and numerous host species). The initial inventory was incomplete, at least for south-eastern New South Wales, indicating the need for (i) more targeted surveys similar to this one, and/or (ii) regular updates of the host inventory based on voucher specimens. A possible reasons why information on host-mistletoe combinations is incomplete may be that such combinations may be dynamic (i.e. mistletoe species may be expanding their suite of potential hosts, either fortuitously or as result of evolutionary pressures).

  • Tree Ferns: Monophyletic Groups and Their Relationships As Revealed by Four Protein-Coding Plastid Loci

Pryer a, Jordan S. Metzgar a, Harald Schneider c, David S. Conant d a Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA b Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm, Sweden c Albrecht-von-Haller Institute für PXanzenwissenschaften, Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, Germany d Natural Science Department, Lyndon State College, Lyndonville, VT 05851, USA Received 3 October 2005; revised 22 December 2005; accepted 2 January 2006 Available online 14 February 2006 Abstract Tree ferns are a well-established clade within leptosporangiate ferns. Most of the 600 species (in seven families and 13 genera) are arbo- rescent, but considerable morphological variability exists, spanning the giant scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae), the low, erect plants (Plagiogy- riaceae), and the diminutive endemics of the Guayana Highlands (Hymenophyllopsidaceae). In this study, we investigate phylogenetic relationships within tree ferns based on analyses of four protein-coding, plastid loci (atpA, atpB, rbcL, and rps4). Our results reveal four well-supported clades, with genera of Dicksoniaceae (sensu Kubitzki, 1990) interspersed among them: (A) (Loxomataceae, (Culcita, Pla- giogyriaceae)), (B) (Calochlaena, (Dicksonia, Lophosoriaceae)), (C) Cibotium, and (D) Cyatheaceae, with Hymenophyllopsidaceae nested within. How these four groups are related to one other, to Thyrsopteris, or to Metaxyaceae is weakly supported. Our results show that Dicksoniaceae and Cyatheaceae, as currently recognised, are not monophyletic and new circumscriptions for these families are needed. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
