It was decided that eucalypts around were Gippsland Peppermint (Eucalyptus croajingolensis) with fibrous bark, narrow bluish grey leaves and 11-20 stalked buds; the larger (to 60m) Mountain Grey Gum (E. cypellocarpa) which has smooth grey bark, narrow dark green leaves and elongated buds with flattened stalks in clusters of 7 or less; and Apple-topped Box (E. angophoroides) with box bark (short fibres), narrow green leaves and rounded fruits with exserted valves in clusters of 7. Birds here were Laughing Kookaburra, Yellow-tufted Honeyeater and Australian Wood Duck. Just up the road was the tiny township of Bullumwaal, where we were met by enthusiastic amateur historian Phil Large, who lives in Bullumwaal and is fascinated with its gold mining history. He took us to various sites where there are still remains from the mining and to the remains of one of the cemeteries. Bullumwaal is located on Boggy Creek, 29 km north of Bairnsdale. Gold was found in Boggy Creek in 1857. With the discovery of reefs in the mid-1860s, a large number of mines were established. During the main gold mining period, up to 4000 people may have lived in the area, including 600 Chinese. Bullumwaal’s greatest days were from around 1890 to 1914. The township had several hotels, a school, post office, shops, cafes, churches, cemeteries, a blacksmith, a Mechanics Institute, a brass band, a cricket team and a rifle club. Transport from Bairnsdale was mostly by coach with horses or bullock drays. In the early days the road from Bairnsdale was so shocking that it could take 7 days to get to Bullumwaal. Most of the miners walked, pushing a wheelbarrow. Our first visit was to the well overgrown cemetery, across the road from the present hall. We found only 3 graves visible. One was of James Hood from Scotland, who died in 1861, and another was that of Hugh and Annie Waite and their two daughters. Above the cemetery was the rusted remains of a boiler from the Sons of Freedom mine which was still working in the 1930s. The boiler was surrounded by Sickle fern (Pellaea falcata) with erect, somewhat leathery fronds with stalked pinnae which are often shed. (Does this fern like the iron that would be leaching from the rusting boiler??) An overhead tree was the beautiful tall pale-trunked Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) which mostly grows near watercourses. It has long narrow leaves and buds usually in 3s. There were the small shrubs, pink Common Heath (Epacris impressa); and the broom-like shrub Pale-fruit Ballart (Exocarpus strictus) which has tiny scale leaves, in bud. We saw many deer scats and browsing damage. During the day we found many fungal fruiting bodies. Here was the unusual green-capped Green Skinhead (Dermocybe austroveneta) with yellow gills and a cream stalk. Just north and on Perserverence Track we saw the outlines of two houses, a brick well and the rusted remains of a water tank. There was more Sickle fern, but also Mother shield-fern (Polystichum proliferum) whose mature 2-pinnate Old boiler from the Sons of Freedom mine Pauline Stewart fronds often produce buds at their tips. These buds can form a new plant if in contact with the soil. We found two gilled fungi here. One had a bluish cap and cinnamon gills, and the other, was all fawn with the gills running down the stalk. There was also a fawn coral fungus, a mustard-coloured puffball and an earthstar. The earthstar is also a puffball, but it has two layers, the outer of which splits to a star shape and exposes the inner puffball. Spores are discharged from a puffball through an apical pore. We walked downstream along the waterless Boggy Creek.

Transnordestina s.n., 44036-900, Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil 3Fazenda Rio do Negro, Entre Rios, Bahia, Brazil Abstract The monospecific genus Discyphus, previously considered a member of Spiranthinae (Orchidoideae: Cranichideae), displays both vegetative and floral morphological peculiarities that are out of place in that subtribe. These include a single, sessile, cordate leaf that clasps the base of the inflorescence and lies flat on the substrate, petals that are long-decurrent on the column, labellum margins free from sides of the column and a column provided with two separate, cup-shaped stigmatic areas. Because of its morphological uniqueness, the phylogenetic relationships of Discyphus have been considered obscure. In this study, we analyse nucleotide sequences of plastid and nuclear DNA under maximum parsimony

  • Australian Orchidaceae: Genera and Species (12/1/2004)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (21/1/2008) by Mark A. Clements Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name. Synonyms are also cross-referenced under genus.

  • NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-Ring-Gai Wildflower Garden
    Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Topic 22: ORCHIDS (Orchidaceae) Did you know that, The orchid family is the largest and most successful in the world. Theophrastus used the name Orchis (Greek meaning testicle) about 300BC to describe the orchid family. He thought the plant’s underground tubers bore a resemblance to testicles. Linnaeus later used the name Orchis to describe this plant genus. Orchids are loved by people. Unscrupulous collectors have removed extensive numbers of orchids from the wild, to the extent that in many areas orchids are no longer found. The Orchid Family The orchid family, Orchidaceae, has about 25000 species in about 1000 genera. Australia is not as rich in orchids as other countries, but close to 200 genera with about 1300 species are found here. Three quarters are terrestrial and the others are epiphytes. Flower Structure Orchids are herbs with distinctive floral features. They are monocotyledons with three sepals and three petals, but one of the petals in most species is greatly modified to form the labellum or tongue. Thelymitra aristata Diuris longifolia The labellum’s primary function is to attract pollinators. It is usually larger than the other segments and can be entire or with 3 lobes. It can be fixed or attached by a flexible strap 1 which snaps shut and traps an insect to achieve pollination. It commonly has a variety of structure, plates, calli, hairs and glands. The male and female sexual parts are combined to form the fleshy structure called the column, located centrally in the flower.
