Western Australia is blessed with an enormous variety of unusual plants. There are over eight thousand ·sp·ecies. Many of these are found nowhere else on earth . Their minute detail and glorious colours are a continuing source of fascination. So it is no wonder that even before the founding of the colony in 1 829, the diversity and difference intrigued.

  • Botanical Illustration and Photography: a Southern Hemisphere Perspective
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Australian Systematic Botany, 2017, 30, 291–325 LAS Johnson Review https://doi.org/10.1071/SB16059 Botanical illustration and photography: a southern hemisphere perspective Ellen J. Hickman A,C, Colin J. Yates B and Stephen D. Hopper A ACentre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management and School of Plant Biology, University of Western Australia, Albany, WA 6330, Australia. BScience Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Bentley, WA 6983, Australia. CCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. To examine claims that the role of botanical art in systematic botany is diminishing because of advances in photography, this review considers relevant literature and includes a quantitative analysis of trends in modern journals, monographs and floras. Our focus is on southern hemisphere systematic botany because, relative to the northern hemisphere, this is poorly represented in modern reviews of botanical art and photography. An analysis of all digitally available papers in Nuytsia, the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Garden, Muelleria, Telopea, Austrobaileya and Systematic Botany established that, although photographic illustrations have increased since 2000, botanical illustrations have not always diminished. The cause of these trends is unknown, but it is likely to be due to several factors, including sourcing funding for production of botanical illustration, editorial preference for the use of illustrations or photographs, author preference for either illustrations or photographs, and moving to online publication, with no charges for colour reproduction. Moreover, the inclusion of botanical artists as co-authors in some scientific publications signals an ongoing and important role. Botanical illustration brings sharp focus and meticulous attention to detail regarding form and structure of plants.

  • WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, Arrivals 1829-1850
    WESTRALIAN SCOTS: Scottish Settlement and Identity in Western Australia, arrivals 1829-1850 Leigh S. L. Beaton, B.A (Honours) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2004 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary institution. …………………………. (Leigh Beaton) i THESIS ABSTRACT Before the end of 1850, Scottish settlers in Western Australia represented a small minority group of what was, in terms of the European population, a predominantly English colony. By comparison to the eastern Australian colonies, Western Australia attracted the least number of Scottish migrants. This thesis aims to broaden the historiography of Scottish settlement in Australia in the nineteenth century by providing insights into the lives of Westralian Scots. While this thesis broadly documents Scottish settlement, its main focus is Scottish identity. Utilising techniques of nominal record linkage and close socio- biographical scrutiny, this study looks beyond institutional manifestations of Scottish identity to consider the ways in which Scottishness was maintained in everyday lives through work, social and religious practices. This thesis also demonstrates the multi-layered expressions of national identity by recognising Scottish identity in the Australian colonies as both Scottish and British. The duality of a Scottish and British identity made Scots more willing to identify eventually as Westralian

  • WITH BEAUTY and ACCURACY Botanical Artists Combine in One Image All the Component Parts of a Plant — Flowers, Stem, Fruit and Seed
    WITH BEAUTY AND ACCURACY botanical artists combine in one image all the component parts of a plant — flowers, stem, fruit and seed. Their images complement the written descriptions, making visible details that are otherwise difficult to describe. By isolating the specimen from its habitat, the painted image lends it a clarity and distinction that photographs cannot. And it is not unheard of for an artist who is peering intensely at the subject for long periods to spot a botanical detail that has eluded the botanist. THE BOTANICAL ARTISTS GROUP WESTERN AUSTRALIA TEXT BY JANDA GOODING FOREWORD BY STEPHEN D. HOPPER ILLUSTRATIONS BY RICA ERICKSON PAT DUNDAS ELLEN HICKMAN PENNY LEECH PHILIPPA NIKULINSKY MARGARET PIERONI KATRINA SYME Ellen Hickman Eucalyptus stoatei, 2006 (detail) 2 aquarelle, 52.0 x 36.0 cm DR JANDA GOODING worked as a Curator at the Art Gallery of Western Australia from 1979 to 2005 where she curated many thematic and survey exhibitions as well as retrospectives of Australian artists A.B. Webb and Kathleen O’Connor. It was while working on the 1991 exhibition Wildflowers in Art that she met the artists who ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS formed the Botanical Artists Group, Western Australia. In 2005 she moved to Canberra to take up a position as Senior Curator of Art at the Australian War Memorial where she is currently exploring the connections between art, landscape and history for a forthcoming publication on Gallipoli. Beyond this, her current preoccupations are This book surveys the work of seven botanical artists who are committed to learning about our environment, characterised by being at odds with her environment – trying to establish a garden in a drought-stricken region and preserving its diversity and making a contribution to the ongoing dialogue about the value of our natural painting botanical studies of seaweeds in a land-locked capital.

  • New Species of Styl1dwm, and Notes on Stylidiaceae from Southwestern Australia
    NEW SPECIES OF STYL1DWM, AND NOTES ON STYLIDIACEAE FROM SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA SHERWIN CARLQUIST Clan mont Graduate School and Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont. California 91711 Reprinted from Auso Vol. 8, No. 4, September 30, 1970 pp. 447-463 Made in United Stales of America ALISO VOL. 8, No. 4. pp. 447-^63 SEFTEMBEB 30, 1976 NEW SPECIES OF STYLIDIUM, AND NOTES ON STYLIDIACEAE FROM SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIA SlIEKM IN CARLQUIST1 Claremont Graduate School and RancJio Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711 ABSTRACT Three new species ol Slylidiuni from southwestern Australia arc described. Stylidium noitscandens is most closely related to S. scandens, of which it may be regarded as a northern sandplain vicariant with sufficient morphological difference for specific recog­ nition, just as S. verticillatum is a montane vicariant of S. scandens. Stylidium expeM- tionis is a new spei les known only from the Tutanning Reserve near Pingelly; it is in the section Squamosae, and several species tan U- cited as bearing relationship to it. Stylidium ricae is the name given to a plant of granitic outcrops near Morawa and Mullewa; it was Formerly designated S. oiocrocarpum var. planifoUutn, but is amply distinct although related to S. mocrocarpum and S. pycnostachyum. The three new species are illustrated photographically, using photomacrographic detail. Additional notes on species of Stylidiaeeae described in 1969 are given. In an earlier paper (Carlquist, 1969), I predicted that additional species ol Stylidium remained to be discovered in Australia. During my 1974 ex­ pedition, I found three Styhdiums which prove to be new species. In addi­ tion, observations made in 1974 with regard to the species described in 1969 are offered in the closing part of this paper.

    ‘Plants That Perform For You’? From Floral Aesthetics to Floraesthesis in the Southwest of Western Australia JOHN C . RYAN Writings on landscape tend to express engrained human attitudes towards plants. The theme ‘thinking about writing for the anthropocene’ suggests that, for us to explore new models of writing landscape that give agency to plants, we need first to explore the philosophical underpinnings of our varied relationships to flora. This need is especially evident in the branch of ecological philosophy known as ‘landscape’ or ‘environmental aesthetics’. The flowering plant has been represented textually and visually with vocabularies inherited from the appreciation of artistic objects. In the Southwest of Australia, plants have been objectified, dismissed or aestheticised in representation, depending on their adherence to traditional ideas of beauty. A more enlivened writing about plants emerges from new conceptualisations of the human perception of flora. The act of writing itself becomes a form of enquiry into the human-plant relationship. In Kojonup, a small Western Australian town and regional hub for the wool industry, on an early winter afternoon, I decided to seek contact with a local expert to learn about native plants. The staff at the tourism office brusquely told me ‘The show hasn’t started. The wildflowers aren’t out yet, you won’t see anything’. Nevertheless, venturing into the small bush reserves around town, my guide and I uncovered a world of sensory and cultural richness. Selecting nuts from the base of a quandong (Santalum acuminatum), we cracked open the convoluted outer shells to expose the crisp, white inner flesh tasting of macadamia.

The small bird of prey gave a brief call once only but was captured on the sensor camera eight times in as many nights. It is wonderful to photograph nocturnal fauna that would otherwise not be known in the area. The bird in the foreground is watching another bathe in a bigger bird bath at the rear. Late November 2018 a proposal was made by the Shire Museum/Curator, Margie Eberle, to hold an exhibition at the Newcastle Gaol (1865) Museum featuring the travels of the first Western Australian government botanist, James Drummond (1797-1863); it was planned to be launched 16th February by Dr Neville Marchant, Botanist and Patron of the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club (TNC). Botanist/farmer Drummond travelled extensively from his Toodyay property of Hawthornden. The exhibition features the trek from his home, through New Norcia and north to Mount Lesueur.
