Epacris Study Group
ASSOCIATION OF SOCIETIES FOR GROWING AUSTRALIAN PLANTS Inc. EPACRIS STUDY GROUP Group Leader: Gwen Elliot, P.O. Box 655 Heathmont Vic. 3135 NEWSLETTER No. XS (ISSN 103 8-6017) Qctaber zaQ4 Greetings as once again we begin to enjoy the longer days of spring-summer and the encouragement this provides for many of our flowering plants. Despite the generally dry conditions many Epacris species are putting on outstanding floral displays. How are you going with your recording of the flowering times of Epacris impressa in your garden, as well as in nearby bushland or in other areas as you travel within Australia? It really is quite an exciting project because together we, as Study Group members, can make a real contribution to the overall understanding of this species, adding to the knowledge and research of botanists who look in detail at the features of the plant under the microscope and in its natural habitat. It iis a species which occurs both atsea-level and at higher altitudes. How are the flowering times affected when highland plants are cultivated at lower altitudes? Are flowering times different when plants fiom New South Wales for example are gvown much further south in soulhern Victoria or Tasmania ? Epacris impressu seems like an excellent species for us to research in this way. If our project is successful we may perhaps be able to continue with looking at the flowering times of other Epacris which are relatively common in cultivation. In case you have misplaced the recording sheet from our October 2003 Newsletter, another is included in this issue.

An Encomium for Eucryphia
An Encomium for Eucryphia Dear NHS members and friends, On many a frosty morn or murky midwinter afternoon of late, I find my mind drifting half a world away, gliding southeasterly thousands of miles along the Pacific Coast before coming to rest in a land luxuriating in full-blown summer —the Valdivian temperate rain forest of southcentral Chile. This verdant, volcano-studded realm of natural wonders is the source of a plethora of plants that have become essential elements in our PNW gardens, from ferns to fuchsias and azaras to alstroemerias. Looking up from the forest floor, I see a host of evergreen sentinels familiar to discerning tree lovers, including Araucaria, Drimys, Embothrium, Nothofagus and Podocarpus. Perhaps the most alluring arboreal attraction is the fragrant, snow-white floral wall produced in midsummer by Eucryphia cordifolia and its close kin, E. glutinosa. This genus is the subject of today’s reflection. Of the seven Eucryphia 1 species, only three are common in cultivation: the two Chileans mentioned above and E. lucida, a native of Tasmania. However, it is hybrids of this trio that are of greatest interest to gardeners due to their fabulous flowers (nectar rich as well as beautiful, they are magnetic to pollinators), and their elegant evergreen foliage. Of the half dozen Eucryphia taxa I grow in my Seward Park garden in southeast Seattle, my favorites are E. x intermedia ‘Rostrevor’, E. x nymansensis ‘Nymansay’ and E. x nymansensis ‘Mount Usher’ 2. As each member of this trio is columnar in nature, even a small garden can accommodate one as a stunning specimen or accent plant.

Records of Tasmanian Botanists
RECORDS OF TASMANIAN BOTANISTS. By J. H. Maiden, F.L.S. Government Botanist and Director of the Botanic Gardens, S^'dne}'. ' Corresponding Alemiber. (Read May 3rd, 1909.) I have used the term " botanists " in a somewhat wide sense, having included collectors of note, whether they described their finds or not, notable horticul- turists, and, in my general list (5), botanists who have described Australian plants whether they visited this land or not. I have included no living man, so far as I am aware. Some notes on South Australian botanists will be found in (4), of New South Wales ones in (5), and I am taking steps to publish my notes on the botanists of other Australian States in their respective States. It-jWill be seen how imperfect is the record of some who have worked amongst us, and who have not been removed by the hand of death very long". Records of departed botanists form a branch of Aus- tralian history of practical value to working botanists. They afford a guide to their published works, and indi- cate where their observations were made. The lists of species named after the various botanists and collectors are valuable (so I have often found) for tracing particulars of botanical journeys, biographical notes, and other useful information.

Plants there and in the adjacent Mediterranean zone exhibit striking adaptations, and we here address the question whether in a species- rich clade such adaptations arose in parallel, at different times, or simultaneously. Answering this type of question has been a major concern of evolutionary biology over the past few years, with a growing consensus that lineages tend to be conservative in their vegetative traits and niche requirements. Combined nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences for 112 species of Oxalidales (4900 aligned nucleotides) were used for a fossil-calibrated phylogeny that includes 43 of the 54 http://sysbio.oxfordjournals.org/ species of Chilean Oxalis, and species distribution models (SDMs) incorporating precipitation, temperature, and fog, and the phylogeny were used to reconstruct ancestral habitat preferences, relying on likelihood and Bayesian techniques.

Phylogenetic Analysis Reveals a Scattered Distribution of Autumn Colours
Annals of Botany 103: 703–713, 2009 doi:10.1093/aob/mcn259, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org Phylogenetic analysis reveals a scattered distribution of autumn colours Marco Archetti* Department of Zoology, Oxford University, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS, UK Received: 1 September 2008 Returned for revision: 24 October 2008 Accepted: 25 November 2008 Published electronically: 6 January 2009 † Background and Aims Leaf colour in autumn is rarely considered informative for taxonomy, but there is now growing interest in the evolution of autumn colours and different hypotheses are debated. Research efforts are hindered by the lack of basic information: the phylogenetic distribution of autumn colours. It is not known when and how autumn colours evolved. † Methods Data are reported on the autumn colours of 2368 tree species belonging to 400 genera of the temperate regions of the world, and an analysis is made of their phylogenetic relationships in order to reconstruct the evol- utionary origin of red and yellow in autumn leaves. † Key Results Red autumn colours are present in at least 290 species (70 genera), and evolved independently at least 25 times. Yellow is present independently from red in at least 378 species (97 genera) and evolved at least 28 times. † Conclusions The phylogenetic reconstruction suggests that autumn colours have been acquired and lost many times during evolution. This scattered distribution could be explained by hypotheses involving some kind of coevolutionary interaction or by hypotheses that rely on the need for photoprotection. Key words: Autumn colour, leaf colour, comparative analysis, coevolution, photoprotection, phylogenetic analysis.
