The essential oils of 10 species were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main component of Eucalyptus crebra, E. microtheca, E. rudis and Melaleuca quinquenervia essential oils was 1,8-cineole (31.6-49.7%). E. melanophloia and E. tereticornis contained p-cymene (41.8-58.1%) as a major component, while Eucalyptus kitsoniana and E. pruinosa essential oils were dominated by α-pinene (25.8-31.4%). Eugenol methyl ether was identified as a major component in M. bracteata essential oil (82.3%). α-Pinene (31.4%) was the main component in the C. viminalis essential oil. Essential oils of all selected plant species showed good insecticidal activities against T.

First Published: 1990 580.994 1 Australian Etext Collections at botany prose nonfiction 1940- women writers The flower chain the early discovery of Australian plants Sydney Kangaroo Press 1998 Preface Viewing Australia through the early European discovery, naming and appreciation of its flora, gives a fresh perspective on the first white people who went to the continent. There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.

  • A Review of Literature on Ironbark Ridges and Associated Lands ~ Barry Craze ~
    A REVIEW OF LITERATURE ON IRONBARK RIDGES AND ASSOCIATED LANDS by Barry Craze and Jim Salmon 2004 FOREWORD This report is dedicated to the memory of Jim Salmon and Barry Craze. It is the last publication that they both researched and wrote before they became ill. Jim and Barry devoted a great deal of their careers to the conservation of soil and the natural environment, and through this report they pass on the wealth of knowledge they both possessed on soils and the management of ironbark country in New South Wales. The text in this book is unchanged from what Jim and Barry originally compiled by the late 1990s. However, most of their original photos that were to be used in the book were lost and have been replaced by new ones. ~ Jim Salmon ~ Jim Salmon was born in Echuca on 30 May 1952 and moved with his parents to Wagga at the age of five. After schooling in Wagga Wagga, he attended Wagga Agricultural College where he graduated with a Diploma of Agriculture. Jim started work with the Soil Conservation Service on 2 June 1974 at Parkes with Kevin McPhee, who was then the District Soil Conservationist. After training with Kevin, Jim was transferred to the job of District Soil Conservationist in Temora on 18 July 1977. It was at Temora that Jim met Helen Hawkins. They married in January 1980 and his three sons David, Scott and Jason were born there in the five years that followed. In September 1989, he took up a property planning position at Temora which he did until May 1993, when he transferred to the Temora District Manager position after David Priem moved to Gundagai.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Homoranthus Darwinioides
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 3/07/2008. Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Homoranthus darwinioides This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Homoranthus darwinioides, Family Myrtaceae, is a spreading shrub growing to 1.5 m high. Leaves are linear, 2–5 mm long and less than 1 mm wide. Flower heads hang downwards and consist of two flowers on a stalk. Bracteoles (floral bracts) are often present at flowering. Sepals are 1.5 mm long with up to 10 laciniate (deeply slashed) lobes at the apex. The style is 8–10 mm long (Craven & Jones, 1991; Harden, 2002). Conservation Status Homoranthus darwinioides is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Homoranthus darwinioides is also listed as vulnerable under Schedule 2 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Homoranthus darwinioides occurs in several populations in Goulburn River National Park and two populations in Goonoo State Forest in NSW (Craven & Jones, 1991; Copeland et al., 2007). Older records outside of these locations have not been confirmed recently and populations in Wollemi National Park are presumed extinct (Althofer, 1983). Homoranthus darwinioides occurs in thin sandy soil on sandstone outcrops and sloping ridges.
