Rather than a 4 th edition of the Banksia Book , Alex felt an overhaul and a new format was warranted, with more of an emphasis on horticulture. Hopefully it will hit the bookshops sometime early next year. Meanwhile Ivan Holliday and George Watton are looking to publish a new edition of their book on Banksias. In the meantime, copies do turn up on ebay and Amazon Books from time to time so it is worth checking these websites out. PS: It’s renewal time. Sorry about the lateness of this issue. Rare & Threatened Banksia #8 – Banksia meisneri adscendens 1 Introduction: The Scott River Banksia ( Banksia meisneri subsp. ascendens ), was recognised as a distinct form of the more widespread B. meisneri by Alex George in 1981. It differs only in the erect, longer leaves, but the character is consistent and gives it a different aspect.

Simultaneously, Ivan Holliday and Geoff Watton are in the latter stages of getting a third edition of their book on Banksias published sometime this year. I am very sorry about the delay, but don’t worry – you all will get two newsletters this financial year.

  • Western Australian Trees, Shrubs and Companion Plantings for the District
    Western Australian Trees, Shrubs and Companion Plantings for the District of City of Mandurah The following list of Western Australian trees and shrubs is presented for consideration by the City of Mandurah for inclusion in planting programmes for streets and verges. This list has been compiled after careful consideration by volunteers from Men of The Trees – Peel Region and Mandurah Environment Group’s projects Friends of Samphire Cove Nature Reserve and Mandurah Tree Advocates. These groups strongly recommend the adoption of this list as they are all species that occur naturally in Western Australia or are hybrids of such species. It is considered that the planting of these species is a vital step in beautifying Mandurah’s streets and verges for the following reasons; the selected species are generally well adapted to Western Australian conditions and therefore are likely to establish quickly, these species are a low risk of becoming weeds in sensitive or conservation areas, assists in maintaining and promoting the natural biodiversity of the state and acts as a repository for both threatened and non-threatened flora. While the selection does not include all Western Australian species or their hybrids, it is presented in good faith based on bird attraction capabilities, a platform to trial for climate change and potential to extend plantings within parks. BOTANICAL COMMON SOIL TYPE FLOWER HEIGHT Comments Acacia celastrifolia Glowing Wattle Well drained Yellow, June – October 2.4m South-West Province. Acacia cyclops Coastal Wattle Sand Yellow, September-November or 7m Dense shrub or tree, Eremaean Province, South-West Province.
