Barbara Buchannan Many thanks for the Newsletter, as usual you are keeping up the quality of this publication. I feel however, very disturbed by the lack of support for this Study Group from the S.G.A.P. The fact that the group has only received $100 of the $1000 promised should be a matter of The following comments have been great concern to all members. I urge all received from several members in response members that the production of a quality to the article - 'THE STUDY GROUP article costs hard cash as well as much AND S.G.A.P....' in Prostanthera & hard yakka. Westringia Study Group Newsletter 15, page 3. We here publish extracts from all George Althofer comments received. [eds] Like Barry, I really do not want to know about S.G.A.P. politics, only about plants, but I do appreciate that some form of administrative framework is necessary to spread and share what information about plants we have, so there is bound to be some politicking. I think my view of the importance of Study Groups is best illustrated by the fact I belong to 5 and only refrain myself from more by the difficulty of being an active member in ***** all, as well as the cost -they do all fall Attached please find cheque for $5.00 due together now.

I am most impressed with your Newsletter both for its Still a member of N.S.W. Region, I feel presentation and information. How do you it is unrealistic that the body is not produce it on just a $4 fee, I do not know, supporting Groups with financial help but hope you do not have to subsidise it when it is well able to do so. It supports financially yourself. scientific research so why not Study Groups. Enthusiasm of leaders can be Jan Sked dampened when the Executives of the State Regions turn a blind eye on their needs. We are very sympathetic to the financial Joyce Ward status of Study Groups. A point you bring out is that without Study Groups the society has no meaning. Our Study Group, no longer exchanges Newsletters with N.S.W. Region as we were not receiving their magazine and a Study Group cannot afford to be too generous with Newsletters. We exchange with one Region, three Region pay fees and two ignore us. One N.S.W. Local Group subscribes to all Study Groups. This policy needs to be highlighted and commended. Australian Daisy Study Group Where are we Going? I think I am at last convinced that funds in the form of a grant or other will never be forthcoming from S.G.A.P. N.S.W. Region, I have been asking for four years. The N.S.W. region committee agreed that a $25 annual subscription cheque be forwarded to all study groups, I believe the cheques were written then destroyed. Also as requested in writing by the then Treasurer of N.S.W. Region, I prepared and sent a detailed letter to be presented to the Special Projects Sub-committee to see these plants in our gardens unless requesting the balance ($900) of the $1,000 heads are pulled from the sand and our promised to me by the then President in a money is injected into study groups or letter dated 10th September, 1987. some other form of research. I point out that funds and materials have Brian Timmis been made available to certain people. I have been unable to obtain a response from the N.S.W. Region. I can no longer financially support my past activities including field trips for collecting and study, propagation and growing on to preserve the species and the cutting exchange to members. I feel sad when I consider that, on one hand, we have a Regional committee of far too many people controlling large amounts of our money, and on the other hand, a very active Study Group with the resources of the Royal Botanic Gardens' Botanist Dr. Westringia davidii.

I feel this form of funding often evokes the No telephone number given. response of "what value will we get from our monetary outlay" and accountability is always a problem. I feel study groups could be paid on a merit basis. Paid commercial hire rates for providing quality plants at Annual Flower Shows. This would alleviate the accountability and value for money worries. In addition publications formatted in a concise manner should be subsidised.

Plants are arranged alphabetically within families. Hyperlinks are provided for quick access to historical material found on-line. Attention is drawn (in the green boxes below the species accounts) to some features which may help identification or may interest the reader, but these are by no means diagnostic. Where technical terms are used, these are explained in parenthesis. The ultimate on-line authority on the Western Australian flora is FloraBase. It provides the most up-to-date nomenclature, details of subspecies, flowering periods and distribution maps. Please use this guide in conjunction with FloraBase. Part 2 — POSTS AND PLATES provides short historical accounts of some the people involved in erecting and removing posts and plates on Dirk Hartog Island between 1616 and 1907, and those who may have collected plants on the island during their visit. Home FLOWERS PHOTOGRAPHS REFERENCES BIRD LIST Home Flower Photos The plants are presented in alphabetical order within plant families - this is so that plants that are closely related to one another will be grouped together on nearby pages. All of the family names and genus names are given at the top of each page and are also listed in an index.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.
