Verna Aslin Page 1 GROUP INFORMATION The Armidale and District Group of APS-­­NSW started on 6th August, 1977 as the New England Group of the Society for Growing Australian Plants. It has been running continuously since that time with a couple of name changes. We are a very friendly and helpful group who enjoy monthly forums and business meetings, garden visits and field trips to help members enjoy the search for knowledge about our native flora and our local environment. We range from raw beginners to others who have been gardening and researching for many years - all willing to share their knowledge. Business Meetings are held at 5.00pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Members are welcome to attend. Native Plant and Garden Forums are held in the TAFE Library Seminar Room on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except June, July, December and January) from 7.30 – 9.30 where an interesting speaker provides a presentation. The speaker is followed by a delicious supper after which members talk about plants in flower from specimens displayed on the flower table and share information about gardening topics. Old and new members, visitors and families, are very welcome at these Forums and on our outings (see page 8 for details). Annual General Meeting is held in November. Solstice Function is held in June. Wattle Day Activity is held on a day closest to 1st September. Christmas Party is held early in December at the home of one of our members. We also lead regular trips into the bush and the occasional weekend escape to the coast or elsewhere. We participate in St Peter’s Garden Tour in November each year, opening one of our gardens to the public and holding our Giant Annual Plant Sale. We hold a Market Stall each month in the Mall. Come along and say hello. Our members have also been active in developing and maintaining the Native Garden beds at the Arboretum. We welcome volunteers who would like to help. See p.9 for our calendar and details of events.

John and I had a ten day tour through the North Island of New Zealand. The countryside was very green with plenty of water everywhere - so unlike here where the drought continues and looks like lasting longer. They have a really big problem with gorse bush and pampas grass along many of the roads and waterways, and covering the hills where any ground was disturbed. It looked beautiful with the yellow and white but Oh dear! Came home to the terrible news that John Wrigley had died suddenly. We went to his funeral at the Coffs Harbour Botanic Gardens that he designed. One of the other things that he designed was the water garden at our own Bicentennial Arboretum. John wrote the Australian Native Plants books so we will miss him terribly. Our best wishes were given to his wife Marcia and their children. Recently we went to Queensland with the Acacia Study Group. We were based in Chinchilla and visited the Barakula State Forest. There were 24 of us and over the weekend we were shown 52 different wattles by locals Len and Joan Hubbard. They also are in drought so I felt really sorry for the cattle and brumbies as there was very very little understory and grasses for them to eat. Amongst all those that we saw were Acacia barakulensis, Acacia handonis and Acacia debilis. Next weekend we are off to the Central Coast for the get together. With many other plant related outings planned our year is passing quickly and that is wonderful. Keep your spirits up - rain is on the way. Barbara Vale John Wrigley John Wrigley, AM, BSc, FRAIPR, FRHS, (see portrait) spent more than forty years developing his knowledge of Australian flora. He was curator of the Australian National Botanic Gardens in Canberra from 1967 to 1981 and was actively involved in many horticultural organizations, including the Society for Growing Australian Plants (later ANPS) of which he was elected an honorary life member. His book, Australian Native Plants (written in collaboration with Murray Fagg) has sold over 250,000 copies. He co-authored a number of other books on native flora with Murray Fagg. In 1983 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to the cultivation and study of Australian flora. His latter years were spent at Coffs Harbour, where he worked as a horticultural consultant. APS-Armidale Group Members may remember meeting him in 2011 when the Coffs Harbour APS group came on a visit.

We started on time after arranging cars and met David and Joy at Sandy ck.

Banksia John was used to seeing the Tasmanian ‘type’ which are only integrifolia sbsp.montanum (Syn var. compar) dominated in a metre or so high. We talked about the only other the slopes between the top of the range and the Nothofagus population found on the Corang River (near Nerriga on the moorei below. Southern Highlands) which have greener leaves. The rock strata changes as the track descends onto heaths dominated by Leptospermum trinervium , L. polygalifolium subsp. montanum, Allocasuarina rigida subsp. rigida and Kunzea opposita. This is the view on a sunny day in summer from the same spot with Wright’s Plateau in clear view : We also spotted Acacia nana subsp eborensis close by and were sorry there was no seed. Persoonia procumbrens and another Persoonia sp was at hand also. With a little looking, we found the Grevillea juniperina on the other side of the creek. Hakea microcarpa was also handy and had some I dropped my camera after we looked over the edge, into viable seedpods. the mist above the beech forests, seeing virtually nothing.

A warm drink, some food and good conversation prepared 6 of us to set off for the walk. David and Joy decided it was too inclement and headed for home. We left a car at Wright’s Plateau Walk car park and drove up to Banksia Picnic area. The rain was soft but steady when we set off along the upper Lyrebird track. Banksia neo-anglica was spectacular as an understory to Acacia melanoxylon, Eucalyptus sp and Pepper trees (Tasmannia insipida). The track was quite wet but the atmosphere was wonderful; with several sections of twisted trunks of Banksia neo-anglica mystically set by the cloud Page 4 The track then descended and turned into the pyroclastic rock Three of us went on to the lookouts over the plateau and zone where obvious horizontal layers of ash had been returned to find the others at the saddle talking with the other deposited.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • For Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft
    Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: PPEES-D-15-00109R1 Title: Bird pollinators, seed storage and cockatoo granivores explain large woody fruits as best seed defense in Hakea Article Type: Research paper Section/Category: Keywords: Black cockatoo; Crypsis; Fruit and seed size; Granivory; Resprouter; Spinescence Corresponding Author: Prof. Byron Lamont, Corresponding Author's Institution: Curtin University First Author: Byron Lamont Order of Authors: Byron Lamont; Byron Lamont; Mick Hanley; Philip Groom Abstract: Nutrient-impoverished soils with severe summer drought and frequent fire typify many Mediterranean-type regions of the world. Such conditions limit seed production and restrict opportunities for seedling recruitment making protection from granivores paramount. Our focus was on Hakea, a genus of shrubs widespread in southwestern Australia, whose nutritious seeds are targeted by strong-billed cockatoos. We assessed 56 Hakea species for cockatoo damage in 150 populations spread over 900 km in relation to traits expected to deter avian granivory: dense spiny foliage; large, woody fruits; fruit crypsis via leaf mimicry and shielding; low seed stores; and fruit clustering. We tested hypothesises centred on optimal seed defenses in relation to to a) pollination syndrome (bird vs insect), b) fire regeneration strategy (killed vs resprouting) and c) on-plant seed storage (transient vs prolonged). Twenty species in 50 populations showed substantial seed loss from cockatoo granivory. No subregional trends in granivore damage or protective traits were detected, though species in drier, hotter areas were spinier. Species lacking spiny foliage around the fruits (usually bird-pollinated) had much larger (4−5 times) fruits than those with spiny leaves and cryptic fruits (insect-pollinated).
