Acacia mearnsii is the most widespread and important weed but also forms the basis of an important industry. A. dealbata, and to a lesser extent A. decurrens are also problems. All belong to the Section Botrycephalae of the sub-genus Heterophyllum. Short term control is achieved locally by removing plants, and by using herbicides, but seed-feeding control agents may provide an acceptable solution in the long term. Larvae of Bruchophagus acaciae (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) develop in the seeds of acacias. It was described from New Zealand, but is an Australian species. We explore whether B. acaciae has a role as a con- trol agent for acacias in South Africa. Seed was collected from 28 Australian species of Acacia growing in New Zealand. Attack was restricted to four of the seven species with- in the Section Botrycephalae, and two cases of attack on Acacia rubida (Section Phyllodineae; n=9). Apart from a wasp reared from one seed, A.

  • 7008 Australian Native Plants Society Australia Hakea
    FEBRUARY 20 10 ISSN0727 - 7008 AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS SOCIETY AUSTRALIA HAKEA STUDY GROUP NEWSLETTER NUMBER 42 Leader: Paul Kennedy PO Box 220 Strathmerton,Vic. 3 64 1 e mail: hakeaholic@,mpt.net.au Dear members. The last week of February is drawing to a close here at Strathrnerton and for once the summer season has been wetter and not so hot. We have had one very hot spell where the temperature reached the low forties in January but otherwise the maximum daily temperature has been around 35 degrees C. The good news is that we had 25mm of rain on new years day and a further 60mm early in February which has transformed the dry native grasses into a sea of green. The native plants have responded to the moisture by shedding that appearance of drooping lack lustre leaves to one of bright shiny leaves and even new growth in some cases. Many inland parts of Queensland and NSW have received flooding rains and hopefully this is the signal that the long drought is finally coming to an end. To see the Darling River in flood and the billabongs full of water will enable regeneration of plants, and enable birds and fish to multiply. Unfortunately the upper reaches of the Murray and Murrurnbidgee river systems have missed out on these flooding rains. Cliff Wallis from Merimbula has sent me an updated report on the progress of his Hakea collection and was complaining about the dry conditions. Recently they had about 250mm over a couple of days, so I hope the species from dryer areas are not sitting in waterlogged soil.

  • Non-Expressway Master Plant List
    MASTER PLANT LIST GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO PLANT LISTS Plants are living organisms. They possess variety in form, foliage and flower color, visual texture and ultimate size. There is variation in plants of the same species. Plants change: with seasons, with time and with the environment. Yet here is an attempt to categorize and catalogue a group of plants well suited for highway and expressway planting in Santa Clara County. This is possible because in all the existing variety of plants, there still remains a visual, morphological and taxonomical distinction among them. The following lists and identification cards emphasize these distinctions. 1 of 6 MASTER PLANT LIST TREES Acacia decurrens: Green wattle Acacia longifolia: Sydney golden wattle Acacia melanoxylon: Blackwood acacia Acer macrophyllum: Bigleaf maple Aesculus californica: California buckeye Aesculus carnea: Red horsechestnut Ailanthus altissima: Tree-of-heaven Albizia julibrissin: Silk tree Alnus cordata: Italian alder Alnus rhombifolia: White alder Arbutus menziesii: Madrone Calocedrus decurrens: Incense cedar Casuarina equisetifolia: Horsetail tree Casuarina stricta: Coast beefwood Catalpa speciosa: Western catalpa Cedrus deodara: Deodar cedar Ceratonia siliqua: Carob Cinnamomum camphora: Camphor Cordyline australis: Australian dracena Crataegus phaenopyrum: Washington thorn Cryptomeria japonica: Japanese redwood Cupressus glabra: Arizona cypress Cupressus macrocarpa: Monterey cypress Eriobotrya japonica: Loquat Eucalyptus camaldulensis: Red gum Eucalyptus citriodora: Lemon-scented

January 2015 has arrived with major variations in our weather, hot days, bush fires and now days of rain and cool weather. Our Australian plants have to adjust to a wealth of climatic conditions. Here in Colac it has been fairly mild. The drier than normal conditions continued through November and December with maximum daytime temperatures seldom reaching 30 degrees C. In early January there were three days of temperatures in the high thirtys but then the rain came and we are back to cooler weather. Rainfall for January was 70mm. The Hakeas have put on a fair degree of growth, most tripling their height since they went in. Out of ninety species only two have died probably due to poor root development and wind. Colac is a windy place and most of the Hakeas have been subject to strong winds. I have been planting the taller species such as macraeana, salicifolia fine leaf, drupacea and oleifolia on the perimeter to hopefully deflect some of the wind across the property. The original two truck loads of native mulch have been spread over five sheets of newspaper on the garden beds and has been very effective in reducing weed growth. I was hoping for another truckload of native mulch but had to settle for a load of pine bark which is now being spread on the remaining raised up beds. I am putting it on thinly as I want any moisture to go through to the soil belm~Tkepheba~k wilttakelongw tobreak down tse, In-rren urbanareaswhere bush fires could- - occur I would recommend a gravel mulch as wood mulch burns and only does more damage to the plants.

  • Science, Sentiment and Territorial Chauvinism in the Acacia Name Change Debate
    9 Science, sentiment and territorial chauvinism in the acacia name change debate Christian A. Kull School of Geography and Environmental Science, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria [email protected] Haripriya Rangan Monash University, Clayton, Victoria Introduction The genus Acacia, as Peter Kershaw has often told us, may be widely present in the landscape, but its pollen is seldom found in any abundance. The pollen grains are heavy and probably not capable of long-distance transport, and even where they dominate the vegetation, their pollen is greatly under-represented. Compounding the problem, Acacia pollen tends to break up into individual units that are difficult to identify. However, as we hope to show in our contribution celebrating Peter’s work, the poor representation of acacias in palaeoenvironmental records is more than compensated by its dominating presence in what has been described as one of the longest running, most acrimonious debates in the history of botanical nomenclature (Brummitt 2011). Few would imagine botanical nomenclature to be a hotbed of passion and intrigue, but the vociferous arguments and machinations of botanists regarding the rightful ownership of the Latin genus name Acacia give an extraordinary insight into the tensions that arise when factors such as aesthetic judgement, political clout and nationalist sentiments dominate the process of scientific classification. After much lobbying and procedural wrangling, on July 16, the last day of the 2005 International Botanical Congress in Vienna, botanists approved a decision to allow an exception to the nomenclatural ‘principle of priority’ for the acacia genus. With increasing demand by botanists to split apart the massive cosmopolitan and paraphyletic genus into several monophyletic genera, the Vienna decision conserved the name acacia for the members of the new genus from Australia.

  • Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt
    plants Article Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt Rania A. Hassan * and Rim S. Hamdy Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza 12613, Egypt; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: For the first time, an updated checklist of Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species. Taking into consideration the retypification of genus Acacia ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent years. The review of Acacia and its segregates in Egypt became necessary in light of the available information cited in classical works during the last century. In Egypt, various taxa formerly placed in Acacia s.l., have been transferred to Acacia s.s., Acaciella, Senegalia, Parasenegalia and Vachellia. The present study is a contribution towards clarifying the nomenclatural status of all recorded species of Acacia and its segregate genera. This study recorded 144 taxa (125 species and 19 infraspecific taxa). Only 14 taxa (four species and 10 infraspecific taxa) are indigenous to Egypt (included now under Senegalia and Vachellia). The other 130 taxa had been introduced to Egypt during the last century. Out of the 130 taxa, 79 taxa have been recorded in literature. The focus of this study is the remaining 51 exotic taxa that have been traced as living species in Egyptian gardens or as herbarium specimens in Egyptian herbaria. The studied exotic taxa are accommodated under Acacia s.s. (24 taxa), Senegalia (14 taxa) and Vachellia (13 taxa).
