Tomida et al., National Science Museum Monographs, (34): 73–81, 2006. The Roles of the Queensland Herbarium and Its Collections Rod J. F. Henderson1, Gordon P. Guymer1 and Paul I. Forster1,2 1Queensland Herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha Road, Toowong, Queensland 4066, Australia (2e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract The roles of the Queensland Herbarium (BRI) and its collections are outlined together with a brief historical account of its founding and subsequent development to the present day. Estab- lished in 1855, the Queensland Herbarium now comprises in excess of 700,000 fully databased botan- ical specimens. The Queensland Herbarium was one of the first herbaria worldwide to database its collections starting in the 1970’s. The Queensland Herbarium (BRI) is the centre for botanical re- search and information on Queensland flora and vegetation communities, and for plant biodiversity research in Queensland’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It is an integral part of the interna- tional network of herbaria, which facilitates research on the Queensland flora by national and interna- tional researchers. The Herbarium is the principal focus for documenting and monitoring Queens- land’s rare and threatened plants and plant communities, vegetation and regional ecosystem surveys, mapping and monitoring, plant names, plant distribution and identification, taxonomic and ecological research on plants and plant communities within the state. Key words: Queensland Herbarium, BRI, Flora. Introduction The Queensland Herbarium (BRI) commenced in 1855, when Walter Hill was appointed Su- perintendent of the Botanic Gardens in Brisbane.

  • 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).

  • Camden Municipal Council Area Street Names
    CAMDEN MUNICIPAL COUNCIL AREA STREET NAME SOUTH CAMDEN Adelong Place The name Adelong appears to be derived from the Aboriginal language meaning "along the way" or "plain with a river". Antill Close Named after the Antill family of “Jarvisfield” Picton. Henry Colden Antill who was born in 1779 in New York of British stock, his father was John Antill. Henry migrated to Sydney on 1/1/1810. Married Eliza Wills in 1818 and in 1825 settled on his estate near Picton, named Jarvisfield; and, in 1844 he subdivided part of his estate on the north of Stonequarry Creek, as the result he made possible the founding of the town of Picton (originally known as Stonequarry). He died and was buried in the family vault at Jarvisfield, in August 1852, survived by six sons and two daughters. Picture of Henry Colden Antill Araluen Place The name 'Araluen' meant 'water lily' or 'place of the water lilies' in the Aboriginal dialect of the Araluen area of NSW Armour Avenue Named after Robert William Armour born 1848 worked at the”Hermitage” The oaks in 1845. A noted bushman and expert horseman. In the early 1850s he brought land at Cobbitty. Son George was a prominent apiarist and well known keen sportsman, barber and poet. He died on 29 Oct 1933 and is buried at St. Paul’s Cobbitty.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR EDWARD MACARTHUR Papers, 1854-58 Reel M592 National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1964 2 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Edward Macarthur (1789-1872), the eldest son of Captain John and Elizabeth Macarthur, was born in Bath, England. He went to Australia in 1790 with his parents and spent his boyhood in Sydney and Parramatta. He sailed to England in 1799 to attend school. He returned to Sydney in 1806 and with his father took part in the overthrow of Governor Bligh in 1808. Macarthur returned to England, received a commission in the 60th Regiment, and served as a lieutenant in Wellington’s campaigns in Spain in 1812-14. He later joined the army of occupation in France. He became a captain in 1821 and a major in 1826, before going on the half-pay list. Macarthur visited New South Wales in 1824 and in subsequent years promoted the agricultural interests of the colony and encouraged emigration to Australia. In 1851 he resumed his military career when he was posted to New South Wales as deputy adjutant-general. Promoted colonel, he accompanied Major-General Sir Robert Nickle and the other headquarters staff when they transferred to Melbourne in 1854. Nickle died in May 1855 and Macarthur took over the post of major-general in command of the Australian forces. The Governor of Victoria, Sir Charles Hotham, also died in December 1855 and Macarthur acted as governor until the arrival of Sir Henry Barkly in December 1856. In this position he presided over the inauguration of responsible government in Victoria.

  • Encampment. Here Likewise Grew a Shrubby Species of Xerotes 110H
    - 113 - encampment. Here likewise grew a shrubby species of Xerotes 110h hard rush-like leaves, but allied to X.gracilis.4 Mitchell sketched his quandong-like shrub, naming it Ellsalzarr1-.TsAyana. This plant was long known as Fusanusarsicarius, but in recent revisions, Mitchell t s name has been restored, so that the Quandong is now Eualya acuminata and the Bitter Quandong is E.murrayana. Mitchell thus became -the first explorer, apart from Cunningham, a professional botanist, to name and publish, albeit without the traditional Latin description, a native plant. Also on the Murray, he found a very beautiful, new, shrubby species of cassia, with thin papery pods and...the most brillant yellow blossoms...I would name it C.heteroloba.464 Lindley accepted this, and the plant was so named, although it proved to be synonymous with Cassia eremophila which had precedence. Similarly, Mitchell named Pelargonium rodne anum, which would be an acquisition to our gardens. I named it...in honour of Mrs. Riddell Sydney, grand-daughter of the famous Rodney.4-} On this expedition, Mitchell made his usual prophecies concerning the economy of the new country. He felt that the "quandong nut" and "gum 466 acacia may in time, become articles of commerce" and "having brought home specimens of most of the woods of the interior", Mitchell felt that several of the acacias would be valuable for ornamental work, having a pleasing perfume resembling that of a rose. Some are of a dark colour of various shades, and very compact; others light coloured and resembling in texture, box or lancewood...Specimens of these A pods may be seen at Hallets, No.

Also included are portraits in oil of Martens by artists such as Maurice Felton and Mr Nuyts. Martens’ ‘Account of Pictures’ provides an invaluable source for identifying his more than 100 extant works in oil. Though ‘Account of Pictures’ specifically identifies only 35 oil paintings, many others noted ‐ but not identified ‐ therein as oils, can be matched with known works. ‘Account of Pictures’ identifies the following 35 oil paintings: Title Date Bota Fogo, Rio Janiero 20 March 1838 Brush at Illawarra 26 May 1838 Oropena, Tahiti 31 May 1838 Salcombe Castle 2 May 1839 Govets Leap 23 May 1839 View of New Government House 28 Oct. 1841 Sydney from St Leonards 14 Nov. 1841 View from Rose Bay 30 Nov. 1841 View of Old Government House 21 Jany. 1842 Government Stables 31 Jany.
