In addition, as the family has been studied on a geographical rather than country basis, several species prove to be In for Vidal and two synonyms. some cases, notably a type Ledermanntypes, neotypes have had to be chosen because the holotype is no longer extant and isotypes have not been located. 1.

Cairns Branch. www.sgapcairns.org.au You may have noticed this month’s newsletter is not as [email protected] “flashy” or to the standard we have come to expect each month from our newsletter editor, Stuart, that is because 2018 -2019 Committee he is taking a well earned holiday! However, what we President: Tony Roberts lack in pizzazz we have made up in content! Don has Vice President: Pauline Lawie kindly put together a report on our trip to Ella Bay (which Secretary: Sandy Perkins ([email protected]) was a great day out, btw) and the plant of the month Treasurer: Val Carnie Newsletter: including an interesting google translation. And of Stuart Worboys course, there are the details on our next excursion to ([email protected]) Emerald Creek Falls. Looking forward to seeing you all Webmaster: Tony Roberts in May. Sandy Perkins Excursion Report ELLA BAY (HEATH POINT ) Sunday 15 April 2018 By Don Lawie The beach and dune walk planned for 11 March was cancelled due to heavy rain, local flooding and road washouts. Indeed, damage to Ella Bay Road was so bad that it was closed at Heath Point, the southern arm of Ella Bay, when we arrived on 15 April. Nothing daunted, we set off along the beach but were soon blocked by sharp volcanic rocks so diverted to the road and walked up a steep hill then returned to the beach beyond the rock barrier. The aim of the day was to discover what plants – trees, shrubs, vines etc.- grew in the area with fruits that would conceivably be eaten by shipwrecked mariners who were not knowledgeable about their edibility or otherwise.

ROBERT A. WHARTON Department of Entomology, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843 USA; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Collections of fruits from indigenous species of Oleaceae were made in Kenya between 1999 and 2003. Members of the four Kenyan genera were sampled in coastal and highland forest habitats, and at altitudes from sea level to 2979 m. Schrebera alata, whose fruit is a woody capsule, produced Lepidoptera only, as did the fleshy fruits of Jasminum species. Tephritid fruit flies were reared only from fruits of the oleaceous subtribe Oleinae, including Olea and Chionanthus. Four tephritid species were reared from Olea. The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, was found exclusively in fruits of O. europaea ssp. cuspidata, a close relative of the commercial olive, Olea europaea ssp. europaea. Olive fly was reared from 90% (n = 21) of samples of this species, on both sides of the Rift Valley and at elevations to 2801 m.

. ARNOLDIA E I A publication of THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts 02130 VOLUME 28 APRIL 12, 1968 NUMBER 1 COUNTRY COUSINS the horticultural world, a continuous effort ~s bemg made to select the I"best" N trees and shrubs for ornamental use. In the process, many other plants are relegated to secondary status and then are often ignored by the hor- ticultural public. Later on, a few may show traits that were not obvious at first - and so bid for reconsideration. In other cases, one species has become en- trenched in horticultural usage-and for this reason alone continues to over- shadow later introductions. An occasional looking back through the lists of little-used plants can be expected to turn up a few that have been overshadowed by better-known relatives, but that have character of their own-and potential usefulness. Chionanthus retusus Chinese Fringetree Our native (southeastern U. S. ) fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus) is fairly well known, even though not widely used as a landscape plant in our area. Its oriental relative, Chionanthus retnsus, is even less used, probably because its flowers and inflorescences are smaller. But the overall effect of C. retusus in bloom is almost as spectacular as that of C. virginicus (Plate I). In addition, it can be grown with minimal pruning, while C. virginicus requires heavy pruning every few years to maintain good form. The largest specimen of C. retusus m the Arnold Arboretum is about 20 feet tall and resembles a miniature American elm in outline. This and its interesting furrowed bark keep this tree interesting during the winter months (Plates I and II).
