Tully River medium and fine forms (Forest Gem and Forest Lace respectively) and of Lomatia fraxinifolia, Athertonia diversifolia, Grevillea baileyana (leaf and stem production), Xanthostemon chrysantus, Sancotoecia serrata, Banksia plagiocarpa, Evodiella muelleri, Eucalyptus phoenicea and Neorites kevediana. • Increased industry size and capability. • Economic viability of species evaluated. Background These five native foliage species were selected for commercial development based on the results of a previous project – DAQ-262A. G. baileyana, L. fraxinifolia and A. diversifolia are all native to rainforests in north Queensland. S. ‘Forest Gem’ and S. ‘Forest Lace’ have been developed by Yuruga Nursery and are protected by Plant Breeders Rights. Research This research project has involved a number of different activities including: 3 field trials, post harvest research, test marketing, economic analysis and grower education. The field trials were used to test the impact of fertiliser and pruning treatments on plant health, survival, growth rates and yields. Post harvest trials have been used to test the vase life of A. diversifolia and L. fraxinifolia under a range of conditions. Tip maturity on S. ‘Forest Gem’ and S. ‘Forest Lace’ has been also assessed after a period of transport. Market research has been carried out in collaboration with wholesalers. Test samples of product have been sent for evaluations on a number of occasions throughout the project. Economic analysis has involved calculating gross margins for production of S. ‘Forest Gem’ and S. ‘Forest Lace’ grown under an intensive system of 8400 plants per hectare. Grower education and extension of project results has been a very important part of this project. Field walks, field days, meetings and information kits have all contributed to the extension of project results. Outcomes There have been a number of important outcomes from the research. Field trial results have revealed that S. ‘Forest Gem’ explants from hyko cells are not a viable option for industry. These plants took longer to establish and exhibited high losses when compared to the same species planted from forestry tubes. The growth rates and yield (1st year) have been determined for most species. All species were found to grow twice as fast during the summer months than in the winter months. Post harvest trials have revealed that Chrysal Professional 3 vase solution can extend the vase life of A. diversifolia leaves when compared to leaves tested in deionised water alone. Both A. diversifolia and L. fraxinifolia leaves exhibit satisfactory vase life under a range of conditions. Market research has provided indications of grower returns for the foliages. Information kits have been developed for existing and potential growers. WILDFLOWERS & NATIVE PLANTS 1 Research Report 2005 Implications • Bruising of A. diversifolia and L. fraxinifolia occurs easily during transport • S. ‘Forest Gem’ and S. ‘Forest Lace’ hyko explants are not recommended for industry Publications Information kits on the commercial production of each species.

[email protected] Abstract: The 80 paintings of Australian flora, fauna and landscapes by English artist Marianne North (1830-1890), completed during her travels in 1880–1881, provide a record of the Australian environment rarely presented by artists at that time. In the words of her mentor Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, director of Kew Gardens, North’s objective was to capture landscapes that were ‘doomed shortly to disappear before the axe and the forest fires, the plough and the flock, or the ever advancing settler or colonist’. In addition to her paintings, North wrote books recollecting her travels, in which she presented her observations and explained the relevance of her paintings, within the principles of a ‘Darwinian vision,’ and inevitable and rapid environmental change. By examining her paintings and writings together, North’s works provide a documented narrative of the state of the Australian environment in the late nineteenth- century, filtered through the themes of personal botanical discovery, colonial expansion and British imperialism.

    ASSOCIATION OF SOCIETIES FOR GROWING AUSTRALIAN PLANTS. AUSTRALIAN FOOD PLANTS STUDY GROUP. ISSN O811 5362. ______________________________________________________________________ NEWSLETTER NUMBER 48. JANUARY 2005. ______________________________________________________________________ 323 Philp Ave., Frenchville. Qld. 4701. 26/1/2005. Dear Members and subscribers, Happy New Year to you all, and best wishes for the coming year. I had hoped to be writing this a month or two earlier, but it didn’t work out that way. However, I have some excellent news to report: the State Member for Rockhampton, Hon Robert Schwarten MP, has made the copying facilities in his office available to photocopy our newsletter, so that particular problem has now been solved, for which I am very thankful. Personally, I have had an eventful and extremely busy last six months. Mid-year I was fortunate enough to spend a month visiting family in Yokohama, and had a lovely time doing ordinary grandmother stuff with my two grand-daughters (and their parents). As it was summer and we spent a lot of time walking through the neighbourhood to kindy, playgrounds, shops, beach, etc, I had ample opportunity to closely observe the pocket handkerchief gardens, and the local garden shops. It was quite exciting to see the lovely effects achieved using plants from all over the world, including many Australian natives, in confined spaces and containers, and among the cut flowers and “potted colour” in the florists’. Unfortunately, there was little evidence of edible Aussie plants around. Then I was out of action for the best part of a couple of months with a ragged wound in my lower right leg, sustained when ambushed by a dead tree while out walking “for my health” would you believe? Some very fancy medical needlework did the trick, and all that remains is a rather spectacular scar.

  • Proteaceae Floral Crops; Cultivar Development and Underexploited Uses
    Proteaceae Floral Crops; Cultivar Development and Underexploited Uses Kenneth W. Leonhardt and Richard A. Criley The Proteaceae apparently originated on the southern supercontinent Gondwana long before it divided and began drifting apart during the Mesozoic era, accounting for the presence of the Proteaceae on all of the southern continents (Brits 1984a). The Protea family comprises about 1400 species in over 60 genera, of which over 800 species in 45 genera are from Australia. Africa claims about 400 species, including 330 species in 14 genera from the western Cape. About 90 species occur in Central and South America, 80 on islands east of New Guinea, and 45 in New Caledonia. Madagascar, New Guinea, New Zealand, and South- east Asia host small numbers of species (Rebelo 1995). Proteas are neither herbaceous nor annual, and they are always woody. Their structural habit is vari- able from groundcover forms with creeping stems, and those with underground stems, to vertical to spread- ing shrubs, to tree forms. The leaves are generally large, lignified, hard, and leathery. A mature leaf will generally snap rather than fold when bent. The leaf anatomy is specially adapted for water conservation and drought resistance. These characteristics and the high leaf carbon to nitrogen ratio render the leaves indi- gestible to most insect pests (Rebelo 1995), accounting for the relatively pest-free status of most commer- cial protea plantings. The distribution of the family is linked to the occurrence of soils that are extremely deficient in plant nutrients (Brits 1984a). An accommodating characteristic of the family is the presence of proteoid roots.

    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.
