  • Brachychiton Discolor Lacebark
    Plant of the Week Brachychiton discolor Lacebark In late spring and early summer, Sydney is blessed with flowering trees: mauve blue Jacarandas, scarlet Illawarra Flame Trees and golden Silky Oaks. The Lacebark (Brachychiton discolor) also flowers at this time of year but somehow we often miss the lovely dusky pink and brown flowers of this most elegant of Australian trees. The Lacebark is closely related to the Illawarra Flame (Brachychiton acerifolius), Kurrajong (B. populneus) and the Queensland Bottle Tree (B. rupestris), all of which are now included in the plant family Malvaceae although until recently, were included in the Sterculiaceae, a family of tropical and subtropical distribution. Lacebarks can be found in rainforests along the coast and ranges of eastern Australia, from Paterson in northern NSW, to Mackay in North Queensland. There is also an isolated community on Cape York Peninsula1. They are very popular as garden plants as they don’t grow too tall, can cope with a wide range of soils and can survive hot and dry conditions. They drop their leaves just once a year prior to flowering and it is then that you notice the striking contrast between their straight round trunks and unusual branching architecture which is so very different from that of eucalypts with which we are more familiar. 1Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachychiton_discolor Map modified from Australia’s Virtual Herbarium: http://www.chah.gov.au/avh/avhServlet Text and photographs: Alison Downing & Kevin Downing, 19.11.2011 Downing Herbarium, Department of Biological Sciences .

  • The Geranium Family, Geraniaceae, and the Mallow Family, Malvaceae
    THE GERANIUM FAMILY, GERANIACEAE, AND THE MALLOW FAMILY, MALVACEAE TWO SOMETIMES CONFUSED FAMILIES PROMINENT IN SOME MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE AREAS The Geraniaceae is a family of herbaceous plants or small shrubs, sometimes with succulent stems • The family is noted for its often palmately veined and lobed leaves, although some also have pinnately divided leaves • The leaves all have pairs of stipules at their base • The flowers may be regular and symmetrical or somewhat irregular • The floral plan is 5 separate sepals and petals, 5 or 10 stamens, and a superior ovary • The most distinctive feature is the beak of fused styles on top of the ovary Here you see a typical geranium flower This nonnative weedy geranium shows the styles forming a beak The geranium family is also noted for its seed dispersal • The styles either actively eject the seeds from each compartment of the ovary or… • They twist and embed themselves in clothing and fur to hitch a ride • The Geraniaceae is prominent in the Mediterranean Basin and the Cape Province of South Africa • It is also found in California but few species here are drought tolerant • California does have several introduced weedy members Here you see a geranium flinging the seeds from sections of the ovary when the styles curl up Three genera typify the Geraniaceae: Erodium, Geranium, and Pelargonium • Erodiums (common name filaree or clocks) typically have pinnately veined, sometimes dissected leaves; many species are weeds in California • Geraniums (that is, the true geraniums) typically have palmately veined leaves and perfectly symmetrical flowers. Most are herbaceous annuals or perennials • Pelargoniums (the so-called garden geraniums or storksbills) have asymmetrical flowers and range from perennials to succulents to shrubs The weedy filaree, Erodium cicutarium, produces small pink-purple flowers in California’s spring grasslands Here are the beaked unripe fruits of filaree Many of the perennial erodiums from the Mediterranean make well-behaved ground covers for California gardens Here are the flowers of the charming E.

  • Full Significant Tree List
    Trees not on Significant Tree Register Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 42 French St, front garden The Lilypilly has been widely planted from the nineteenth century through to the present day often as a wind break and hedge. The specimen in the front garden of 42 French Street is impressive in size and most likely remains from an earlier larger garden. There are many specimens of Lilypilly planted around Hamilton. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 9 Gray St, front garden Older planting which was originally part of the garden at 13 Gray Street. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Aesculus hippocastanum, Horse Chestnut - Melville Oval, Thompson St side near water fountain. The Horse Chestnut is not very widely planted throughout Victoria although a very popular tree throughout Europe. It is best in the cooler climates of the Dandenong and Mt Macedon ranges. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: This is the only specimen found in Hamilton and therefore of local interest. Araucaria heterophylla, Norfolk Island Pine - 13 Gray St, front garden Araucarias have been popular in Victoria from the mid- nineteenth century to the present time producing a distinct form in the landscape. The large specimen here remains from the original garden and was probably planted about 1904 and is one of two large specimens in the Church Hill area. The other, identical in size, was planted at 31 Gray St, apparently the home of a member of the same family. Both trees are excellent examples of the species and have become landmarks in the Church Hill area.

  • Place Details
    Australian Heritage Database Page 1 of 4 Place Details Send Feedback Parliament House Vista Extension - Portal Buildings, Anzac Pde, Parkes, ACT, Australia Photographs None List Commonwealth Heritage List Class Historic Legal Status Listed place (22/06/2004) Place ID 105474 Place File No 8/01/000/0497 Summary Statement of Significance The Portal Buildings are important for their association with the push to transfer public servants from Melbourne to Canberra in the 1960s under the Liberal Government of Sir Robert Menzies. They are also important for their association with the consultancy of Sir William Holford and the views of the Senate Select Committee, which saw Canberra as a unified city in which background buildings in a monumental style functioned both as symbols of government and Australian unity. In this respect the Portal buildings are an expresssion of the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC) which adopted the views of Holford and the Senate, and interpreted them in terms of the formal composition of Walter Burley Griffin's plan for Canberra, with its cumulative massing, axiality and avenues. (Criterion A.4 and criterion H.1) (Themes: 4.2 Supplying urban services, 5.4 Working in offices, 7.5 Developing administrative structures and authorities) As symbols of government, the monumental Portal Buildings are located on Walter Burley Griffin's land axis, Anzac Parade, and the municipal axis, Consitution Avenue, which defines the northern side of the Parliamentary Triangle area in the heart of Canberra, and frame the Parliamentary vista at its transition from land to lake. The Portal Buildings exhibit a monumental character through strongly modelled structural bays, emphasised by the vertical emphasis of the columns and the use of sandstone cladding to the structural elements of the elevations, and are important elements of Civic Design in the urban setting of Canberra.

  • NCA Proposition Canberra Is Recognised As One of Australia's
    NCA Proposition Canberra is recognised as one of Australia’s great achievements. A beautiful city of identifiably Australian character, in which the National Capital’s roles and functions operate efficiently and with proper regard to their place and importance in a modern federal democracy. It is a city which symbolises Australian life and achievement, and is the actual as well as the symbolic home of the key elements of our Federal democracy and other aspects of national life. The character and setting of Canberra are unique. Many elements of Canberra’s design are of great practical import. This includes those which have created fitting spaces, approaches and backdrops for the institutions, symbols and ceremonies of our Federal democracy, and those which create the setting for the National Capital The vision of the Walter Burley Griffin plan and the quality of the landscape and central urban spaces are attributes unique to the National Capital. The national public places at the centre of the capital provide the setting for the Parliament and national institutions. Such places are also the setting for the ceremonial and community events that reflect our nation’s history, spirit and aspirations. The national areas of the capital should be meaningful, accessible and enjoyable. The Central National Area was created as a keystone to Australia’s national identity. This significant landscape represents the nation’s front yard to our national treasures and achievements. The infrastructure that supports it and the people who use it ensures that this public realm remains common ground for all Australians. As one of our most important cultural landscapes, upkeep of the Central National Area needs to embody national standards of safety and design through strategies that are place-making and purposeful.

  • Recommended Street Tree Species List San Francisco Urban Forestry Council
    Recommended Street Tree Species List San Francisco Urban Forestry Council The Urban Forestry Council annually reviews and updates this list of trees, in collaboration with public and non-profit urban forestry stakeholders, including San Francisco’s Department of Public Works Urban Forestry Division and Friends of the Urban Forest. It’s important to carefully match the conditions of your site with the tree you choose. Please note that while this list contains recommendations that are known to do well in many locations in San Francisco, no tree is perfect for every potential tree planting location in San Francisco. This list should be used as a guideline for choosing which street tree to plant, but should not be used without the help of a tree professional. Species that perform well in many locations in San Francisco Evergreen Deciduous Arbutus x ‘Marina’ Prunus cerasifera ‘Krauter Vesuvius’ Callistemon citrinus Prunus serrulata ‘Kwanzan’ Callistemon viminalis Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ Cordyline australis Small Eriobotrya deflexa Magnolia grandiflora ‘St. Mary,’ ‘Little Gem’ Pyrus kawakamii Tristaniopsis laurina Tristaniopsis laurina ‘Elegant’ Evergreen Deciduous Melaleuca linarifolia Pyrus calleryana ‘Aristocrat’ Melaleuca quinquenervia Metrosideros excelsus Medium Olea europaea Trachycarpus fortunei Evergreen Deciduous Lagunaria patersonii Ginkgo biloba ‘Autumn Gold’, ‘Saratoga’ Lophostemon confertus (formerly Tristania Platanus x acerifolia ‘Bloodgood,’ ‘Yarwood’ conferta) Tilia cordata Large Magnolia grandiflora ‘Sam Sommers,’

  • Species Selection Guidelines Tree Species Selection
    Species selection guidelines Tree species selection This section of the plan provides guidance around the selection of species for use as street trees in the Sunshine Coast Council area and includes region-wide street tree palettes for specific functions and settings. More specific guidance on signature and natural character palettes and lists of trees suitable for use in residential streets for each of the region's 27 Local plan areas are contained within Part B – Street tree strategies of the plan. Street tree palettes will be periodically reviewed as an outcome of street tree trials, the development of new species varieties and cultivars, or the advent of new pest or disease threats that may alter the performance and reliability of currently listed species. The plan is to be used in association with the Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Landscape Infrastructure Manual where guidance for tree stock selection (in line with AS 2303–2018 Tree stock for landscape use) and tree planting and maintenance specifications can be found. For standard advanced tree planting detail, maintenance specifications and guidelines for the selection of tree stock see also the Sunshine Coast Open Space Landscape Infrastructure Manual – Embellishments – Planting Landscape).
