Upper Level Taxonomy Kingdom: PLANTAE Phylum: TRACHEOPHYTA Class: MAGNOLIOPSIDA Order: FABALES Family: LEGUMINOSAE Lower Level Taxonomy Rank: Infra- rank name: Plant Hybrid Subpopulation: Authority: General Information Distribution Cullen walkingtonii is endemic to Australia, known only from stream courses in and east of the Davenport Range in the Northern Territory. Range Size Elevation Biogeographic Realm Area of Occupancy: Upper limit: 530 Afrotropical Extent of Occurrence: 10000 Lower limit: 250 Antarctic Map Status: Depth Australasian Upper limit: Neotropical Lower limit: Oceanian Depth Zones Palearctic Shallow photic Bathyl Hadal Indomalayan Photic Abyssal Nearctic Population The largest population of C. walkingtonii is known from Elkedra River floodout swamps which is considered a site of conservation significance. Latest collection in 2003. Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology Annual or biennial herb which sprout after floods and can grow up to 4m. It is known from floodplains or depressions in sandy or clayey soil (Grimes 1997). The largest population of this species is known from the Elkedra swamps which are dominated by low open woodland of gum-barked coolabahs Eucalyptus victrix with an understorey of sedges, herbs and grasses on the margins of receding flood waters. In the Davenport and Murchinson Ranges the major vegetation communities include low open eucalypt or acacia woodland with an understorey of hummock grasslands with the vegetation around waterholes dominated by river red gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis and areas of Melaleuca dissitiflora and Ludwigia octovalvis. In the Frew River area the major vegetation communities include coolabah Eucalyptus microtheca low open woodland and areas of floodplain with an overstorey of melaleuca and acacia species (Harrison et al. 2009). System Movement pattern Crop Wild Relative Terrestrial Freshwater Nomadic Congregatory/Dispersive Is the species a wild relative of a crop? Marine Migratory Altitudinally migrant Growth From Definition Annual An annual plant, also termed a Therophyte Forb or Herb Biennial or perennial herbacaeous plant, also termed a Hemicryptophyte Threats This species is known from the Davenport Murchison Ranges area. This bioregion is in reasonably good condition, although changed fire regimes, feral animals, weeds and livestock are causing broad-scale detriment to some biodiversity values (Australian Natural Resources Atlas 2009). In the three sites weed invasion, grazing pressure and frequency of fires are the main management issues identified. However, the full extent and nature of all threatening processes affecting the three sites of conservation significance where this species occurs cannot be defined and further surveying is required. Furthermore most of the area is under pastoral land tenure (Harrison et al. 2009). Past Present Future 1 Habitat Loss/Degradation (human induced) 1.5 Invasive alien species (directly impacting habitat) 1.6 Change in native species dynamics (directly impacting habitat) 1.7 Fires 7 Natural disasters 7.4 Wildfire 10 Human disturbance 10.5 Fire Conservation Measures The species is known to occur within three sites of conservation significance: Frew River and Elkedra River floodout swamps and the Davenport and Murchinson Ranges. The moderately large Davenport Range National Park and small Devil's Marbles National Park provide reasonable representation of the range environments, but do not sample the flood-out areas and valley floors, which are largely included within pastoral land use. A more comprehensive reserve system should include some representation of these more fertile lowland environments (Australian Natural Resources Atlas 2009). This species is listed as 3K (Briggs and Leigh 1996), a rare species with a geographic range more than 100 km2 not known to occur within protected areas and also listed as Near Threatened under Schedule 2 in the Northern Territory (Northern Territory Government 2007). It is recommended that the seeds of this species are banked as an ex situ conservation measure and that further research is carried out to monitor habitat status and level of threats.

Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment C. walkingtonii is a herb known from floodplains or depressions in the Davenport Ranges in the Northern Territory. Its restricted distribution may qualify the species under criteria B1 as Vulnerable (EOO ~10,000km2) and the species is known from three locations. There are known identifiable threats however it is not yet clear how these may be affecting the species and whether it is resulting in a continuiung decline. It is therefore listed as Near Threatened. It is recommended that its seeds are banked as an ex situ conservation measure and that further research is carried out to monitor habitat status and level of threats.

    Butterfly GardeningFact sheet Papilionidae family Chequered Swallowtail Papilio demoleus sthenelus Abundance in Adelaide area: Uncommon Flight: Sep–May Wingspan: m 72 mm; f 75 mm Mature larva length: 45 mm This lovely Swallowtail is an occasional visitor to Adelaide in the course of its migratory flights. It will breed here when it finds its caterpillar food plant, but probably cannot survive the winters. Young caterpillars resemble bird droppings during the first four instars, but in the fifth are mostly green. Its caterpillar food plants (Cullen spp.) make an attractive addition to gardens and butterflies can also use the flowers as a nectar source. The Common Grass-blue butterfly also uses these plants for breeding. Interestingly, the butterfly emerges from the The Chequered Swallowtail is one of the largest pupa in as little as three weeks or as much as ten butterflies regularly seen in southern Australia months, or longer.

  • Native Plant Identification CONTACT in the Northern and Yorke Region
    Government of South Australia Northern and Yorke Natural FACT SHEET NO 2.018 Resources Management Board September 2011 NRM Plan Native plant identification CONTACT In the Northern and Yorke Region Main Office Basic plant identification is a vital skill for Northern and Yorke NRM Board land managers. It assists in appreciating PO Box 175 the vegetation around you and managing 41-49 Eyre Road that vegetation. Does a plant belong on a Crystal Brook SA 5523 site or is it a weed? Ph: (08) 8636 2361 Fx: (08) 8636 2371 This fact sheet introduces some of the www.nynrm.sa.gov.au common plant groups of the Northern and Yorke Region and how to identify them. All living things have been categorized into what is known as the Linnaean System of classification. Plants are grouped using common attributes until each plant is given a unique Classification. The steps of Classification are: • Kingdom • Division • Class • Order • Family • Subfamily • Genus • Species This results in a unique Botanical or Scientific name consisting of Genus and Species. Some plants are further split into sub species. Most plants have at least one common name. These are non scientific and often vary from region to region. Some plants may have the same common name, this often causes confusion so it is important to use the Botanical name. The plants right would be referred to as Eucalyptus leucoxylon subspecies leucoxylon or the South Australian Blue Gum. This plant is known as Yellow Gum in Victoria. Glossary of common botanical terms Annual A plant that completes its life within one year.

  • Cain on Linnaeus: the Scientist-Historian As Unanalysed Entity
    Stud. Hist. Phil. Biol. & Biomed. Sci., Vol. 32, No. 2, pp. 239–254, 2001 Pergamon 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. Printed in Great Britain 1369-8486/01 $ - see front matter www.elsevier.com/locate/shpsc Cain on Linnaeus: The Scientist-Historian as Unanalysed Entity Mary P. Winsor* Zoologist A. J. Cain began historical research on Linnaeus in 1956 in connection with his dissatisfaction over the standard taxonomic hierarchy and the rules of binomial nomenclature. His famous 1958 paper ‘Logic and Memory in Linnaeus’s System of Taxonomy’ argues that Linnaeus was following Aristotle’s method of logical division without appreciating that it properly applies only to ‘analysed entities’ such as geo- metric figures whose essential nature is already fully known. The essence of living things being unanalysed, there is no basis on which to choose the right characters to define a genus nor on which to differentiate species. Yet Cain’s understanding of Aristotle, which depended on a 1916 text by H. W. B. Joseph, was fatally flawed. In the 1990s Cain devoted himself to further historical study and softened his verdict on Linnaeus, praising his empiricism. The idea that Linnaeus was applying an ancient and inappropriate method cries out for fresh study and revision. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. Keywords: A. J. Cain; Linnaeus; Aristotle; Essentialism; Systematics; Logic. The category to which the following belongs is not the history of systematics but the history of the history of systematics. I have just one small tale to tell, but I suspect there are similar tales scattered about unnoticed in the history of other sciences, and it seems to me they are worth uncovering.

These profiles are intended for the use of interested laypersons with some knowledge of biology as well as academic audiences. Introduction The lime swallowtail, Papilio demoleus Linnaeus, is sometimes called the chequered or citrus swallowtail. This butterfly ranges widely and is an extremely successful invader. Its proliferation appears to be aided by agricultural land use and urbanization that create new, suitable, open habitat and enhanced availability of resources. Papilio demoleus is native to the Old World where six Figure 1. Dorsal view of adult lime swallowtail, Papilio demoleus subspecies are recognized. They are: Linnaeus.
