  • 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).

FIBER CHARACTERISTICS OF Acacia melanoxylon 61 AND COMPARISON TO Eucalyptus globules Fatima Tavares1, Teresa Quilhó2, Helena Pereira3 (received: January 28, 2010; accepted: November 30, 2010) ABSTRACT: Wood and bark fi bers of Acacia melanoxylon were characterized and compared to Eucalyptus globulus which is a major quality source of pulp fi bers. In 20 trees from four sites, fi ber length and wall thickness were measured at 5, 35 and 65% of total tree height and at 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90% of the distance from pith. Maceration were prepared in a 1:1 glacial acetic acid:hydrogen peroxide solution. Wood and bark fi ber length varied between 0.90 - 0.96 mm and 1.33 - 1.59 mm respectively. The cell wall thickness varied between 3.45 - 3.89 μm in wood and 5.01 - 5.40 μm in bark. Wood and bark fi ber length decreased from the bottom to the top of the tree and cell wall thickness had no specifi c pattern for axial variation.

  • Warrandyte's Wattles the Flowers of Warrandyte's Wattles Vary in Colour from Creamy-Yellow to Deep Gold
    Warrandyte's Wattles The flowers of Warrandyte's wattles vary in colour from creamy-yellow to deep gold. Only two species have true adult leaves (Black Wattle and Silver Wattle). A ll others develop phyllodes; flattened leaf-stalks that look like and function like leaves. Most flower from late winter to spring. They can be found in a wide range of vegetation communities, from the riverbanks to the ridges. Several other species of wattle from other parts of Australia grow in the Warrandyte bush. These are garden Gold-dust Wattle Acacia acinacea escapes that have become environmental BlackWattle Acacia mearnsii weeds.You can help prevent their spread by only planting wattles indigenous to our area. Gold-dust Wattle Acacia acinacea Open spreading shrub to 1.5m. July-Oct. Small ovate to oblong phyllodes on arching branches, profuse flowers along stems. Thin-leaf Wattle Acacia aculeatissima Prostrate or low sprawling shrub to 30cm. Thin-leafWattle Acacia aculeatissima June-Dec.

  • Acacia Melanoxylon – Wood Properties
    Acacia melanoxylon – Wood properties End grain x 10 Growth rings distinct. Not ring porous so distinct rings due to darker colour & higher density (see left). Density 640 kg m-3, Janka hardness 5,180 N. Shrinkage: Radial 3.9% tangential 7.9%. Growth ring Acacia melanoxylon - utilization Availability of sound, large logs is limited so commands a high price. Used for quality bespoke furniture. Sliced veneer is an Tangential Radial economical use. Some spectacular veneers are available. Figured Working with Acacia melanoxylon Generally works well with both machine and hand tools, but can be ‘cranky’. Low density boards plus figured & interlocked grain can cause tear-out (hand & machine). Ripped ‘face’ boards can spring even if fully dry. Relatively soft so can damage easily. Dings can be steamed out! Take care to work with the grain. Good for steam bending (see below). Glues, stains & finishes well but Cross-linked PVA and water can stain timber green. High in silica so care is needed. Always use sharp tools - even a slightly blunt table saw blade or router bit will cause burning, as will worn electric sand belts. See: Evan Dunstone (Aust. Wood Review 8-12-2015) Excellent turning timber, makes lovely boxes and great furniture. Blackwood - tonewood Now recognised as an excellent tonewood. Instrument can be matched to a blackwood music stand. Alternative species (cf Blackwood) • PNG Rosewood: Has similar properties to Blackwood. Rich colour but coarser grain (large pores). • Queensland maple: Pale pink-brown but can have fiddleback. Coarser grain & lower density. • Tasmanian Myrtle: Light pink to browns – can have amazing fiddleback.

  • Wildland Urban Interface Approved Plant List
    WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE APPROVED PLANT LIST This approved plant list has been developed to serve as a tool to determine the placement of vegetation within the Wildland Urban Interface areas. The approved plant list has been compiled from several similar lists which pertain to the San Francisco Bay Area and to the State of California. This approved plant list is not intended to be used outside of the San Mateo County area. The “required distance” for each plant is how far the given plant is required to be from a structure. If a plant within the approved plant list is not provided with a “required distance”, the plant has been designated as a fire-resistant plant and may be placed anywhere within the defensible space area. The designation as a fire-resistant plant does not exempt the plant from other Municipal Codes. For example, as per Hillsborough Municipal Code, all trees crowns, including those that have been designated as fire resistant, are required to be 10 feet in distance from any structure. Fire resistant plants have specific qualities that help slow down the spread of fire, they include but are not limited to: • Leaves tend to be supple, moist and easily crushed • Trees tend to be clean, not bushy, and have little deadwood • Shrubs are low-growing (2’) with minimal dead material • Taller shrubs are clean, not bushy or twiggy • Sap is water-like and typically does not have a strong odor • Most fire-resistant trees are broad leafed deciduous (lose their leaves), but some thick-leaf evergreens are also fire resistant.
