Acacia aulacocarpa Brown salwood, hickory/brush Acacia from Greek ”akakia (A), hê”, the shittah tree, Acacia arabica; (changed to Acacia ironbark/broad-leaved/black/grey which is derived from the Greek “akanth-a [a^k], ês, hê, (akê A)” a thorn disparrima ) wattle, gugarkill or prickle (alluding to the spines on the many African and Asian species first described); aulacocarpa from Greek “aulac” furrow and “karpos” a fruit, referring to the characteristic thickened transverse bands on the a-KAY-she-a pod. Disparrima from Latin “disparrima”, the most unlike, dissimilar, different or unequal referring to the species exhibiting the greatest difference from other renamed species previously described as A aulacocarpa. 2. Acacia melanoxylon Black wood/acacia/sally, light Melanoxylon from Greek “mela_s” black or dark: and “xulon” wood, cut wood, hickory, silver/sally/black- and ready for use, or tree, referring to the dark timber of this species. hearted wattle, mudgerabah, mootchong, Australian blackwood, native ash, bastard myall 3.

Maclurodendron: a New Genus of Rutaceae from Southeast Asia
Maclurodendron: A New Genus of Rutaceae from Southeast Asia T. G. HARTLEY Herbarium Australiense C.S.l.R.O. Division of Plant Industry Canberra, Australia 2601 Abstract The new rutaceous genus Maclurodendron consists of six species and ranges from Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula east to the Philippines and north to Vietnam and Hainan Island. The genus is described and its distinguishing features and apparent relationships are discussed. The six species are keyed, described, and their apparent relationships are outlined. New combinations are made for the names of three species, Maclurodendron porteri, M obovatum, and M oligophlebium, all of which were previously described in the rutaceous genus Acronychia, and three species, M pubescens, M. par· viflorum, and M magnificum, are described as new. Introduction Among the previously described species excluded from Acronychia J. R. & G. Forst. in my revision of that genus (1974) are A. porteri Hook. f., described from W. Malaysia, A. obovata Merr., from the Philippines, and A. oligophlebia Merr., from Hainan Island. These three species plus three others that are undescribed, one from W. Malaysia and two from E. Malaysia, comprise a morphologically isolated group of plants that has not been previously recognised. The purpose of this paper is to give a taxonomic account of this group, which is here described as a new genus. Geographically, these plants range from Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula east to the Philippines and north to Vietnam and Hainan Island (Fig. 1). To Acronychia, which ranges from India to southwestern China and throughout Malesia to eastern Australia and New Caledonia, they are similar in a number of characters, including their opposite leaves, 4-merous flowers, biovulate carpels, and syncarpous, drupaceous fruits.

(prickly ash) is the only genus in the Citrus L. family (Rutaceae) with a pantropical distribution. Bering Land Bridge We present the first detailed phylogenetic and biogeographic study of the genus and its close relatives in the Fagara proto-Rutaceae group. Our phylogenetic analyses based on two plastid and two nuclear markers show that the North Atlantic Land Bridge genus Toddalia Juss. is nested within Zanthoxylum, that earlier generic and intrageneric classifications need Toddalia revision, and that the homochlamydeous flowers of the temperate species of Zanthoxylum are the result of a Transatlantic Disjunction reduction from heterochlamydeous flowers. The biogeographic analyses reveal a Eurasian origin of Zanthoxylum in the Paleocene or Eocene with successive intercontinental or long-range migrations. Zanthoxylum likely crossed the North Atlantic Land Bridges to colonize the Americas in the Eocene, and migrated back to the Old World probably via the Bering Land Bridge in the Oligocene or Miocene.

Seed Science and Technology, 48, 2, 159-165. https://doi.org/10.15258/sst.2020.48.2.03 Research Note Techniques for breaking seed dormancy of rainforest species from genus Acronychia Ganesha S. Liyanage*, Catherine A. Offord and Karen D. Sommerville The Australian PlantBank, The Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Mount Annan, NSW 2567, Australia *Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]) (Submitted February 2020; Accepted March 2020; Published online April 2020) Abstract We tested for dormancy in three species of Acronychia (Rutaceae) occurring in the rainforest in eastern Australia, A. imperforata, A. laevis and A. oblongifolia, by incubating fresh intact seeds on 0.8% water agar for one month at 25/10°C. Four different techniques were then tested for their effect on dormancy: (i) incubation of intact seeds on agar incorporating gibberellic acid (GA3); (ii) seed coat removal (decoating); (iii) scarification near the radicle emergence point (scarification-emergence point); and (iv) scarification opposite the radicle emergence point (scarification-back). Imbibition tests were performed to determine whether dormancy was due to an impermeable seed coat. Germination differed among treatments, but all three species showed a similar pattern. Intact seeds showed < 6% germination after one month indicating the presence of dormancy. Highest germination (> 65%) was observed following scarification-emergence point treatment. Seed coat removal also resulted in increased germination (40-47%), in comparison with intact seeds, but GA3 and scarification-back treatments did not (< 12%). Though the seedcoats of all species were permeable, increased germination responses to decoating and scarification-emergence point treatments suggest scarification is required to clear the radicle emergence point.

Dioecy, Self-Compatibility and Vegetative Reproduction in Australian Subtropical Rainforest Trees and Shrubs
89 Dioecy, self-compatibility and vegetative reproduction in Australian subtropical rainforest trees and shrubs Paul Adam1 and Geoff Williams1,2 Adam, Paul 1 and Williams, Geoff 1,2 ( 1School of Biological Sciences, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW, Australia 2052, 2c/o Department of Entomology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, NSW, Australia 2000) 2001. Dioecy, self- compatibility and vegetative reproduction in Australian subtropical rainforest trees and shrubs. Cunninghamia 7(1): 89–100. Australian subtropical rainforests and plant populations have become increasingly fragmented since European settlement. Managing relict populations and remnants within the landscape matrix is dependent upon our understanding of plant reproductive biology. The incidence of autogamous self-compatibility and dioecy was investigated in subtropical rainforests, near Taree, in the Manning Valley (northern New South Wales). The proportion of dioecious species in rainforests of the region is high (~17%), but varies among sites. The potential for hermaphroditic species to self-pollinate was examined by bagging inflorescences in the field. Of the > 30 species (in 14 families) studied, nine species exhibited high levels of self- compatibility. These were predominantly pioneer and edge species, but other pioneer species were self-incompatible. Different behaviour occurred within families. Twenty species (in 13 families) regenerated from basal coppice or root suckers following bushfire. The significance of knowledge of reproductive biology for management is discussed. Introduction Many tropical and subtropical trees and shrubs are characterised by wide geographical distributions, but at individual sites species often have low population densities. During the Tertiary subtropical rainforest was very extensive in Australia (Adam 1992). In recent geological time its distribution has become limited and fragmented, as much of Australia became arid, with fluctuations in extent driven by climatic change during glacial-interglacial cycles.

Flowers, Inflorescences & Fruits 2020
Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Flowers, Inflorescences and Fruits FLOWERS In common usage the word ‘flower’ is used for both a single flower and a number of flowers grouped together, for example a Banksia spike. Closer examination shows it is made up of single flowers, all with a similar structure. A flower is the sexual reproductive shoot of a plant, consisting of a receptacle that bears the sepals, petals, stamens and carpels – the four basic parts of a flower. Broadly speaking, the parts are in concentric rings. Sepal: Makes up the outer ring, usually green and leaf-like, and in the bud stage encloses and protects the other flower parts. Collectively known as the calyx. Sepals could be free, wholly or partly united, they could fall early or remain as part of the fruit. Petal: Makes up the next inner ring, usually conspicuous, brightly coloured, to attract pollinators. Collectively known as the corolla. They could also be free, part or fully united giving rise to variety of types. Tepal: A free segment of a perianth not recognized as a petal or a sepal. Perianth: Usually consisting of a whorl of sepals and/or a whorl of petals, or two whorls of tepals. Pedicel: (stalk) of a flower, if not present the flower is sessile. Female part of the flower Gynoecium: the carpel (if solitary) or carpels of a flower. Carpel: A unit of the female organ of the flower, with an ovary bearing one or more ovules (female cells), usually a style (stalk), joining the ovary and a pollen receptive stigma of various shapes and size.
