  • Plants Prohibited from Sale in South Australia Plants Considered As Serious Weeds Are Banned from Being Sold in South Australia
    Plants prohibited from sale in South Australia Plants considered as serious weeds are banned from being sold in South Australia. Do not buy or sell any plant listed as prohibited from sale. Plants listed in this document are declared serious weeds and are prohibited from sale anywhere in South Australia pursuant to Section 188 of the Landscape South Australia Act 2019 (refer South Australian Government Gazette 60: 4024-4038, 23 July 2020). This includes the sale of nursery stock, seeds or other propagating material. However, it is not prohibited to sell or transport non-living products made from these plants, such as timber from Aleppo pine, or herbal medicines containing horehound. Such products are excluded from the definition of plant, under the Landscape South Australia (General) Regulations 2020. Section 3 of the Act defines sell as including: • barter, offer or attempt to sell • receive for sale • have in possession for sale • cause or permit to be sold or offered for sale • send, forward or deliver for sale • dispose of by any method for valuable consideration • dispose of to an agent for sale on consignment • sell for the purposes of resale How to use this list Plants are often known by many names.

Mycale species (Porifera: Poecilosclerida) of North- west Africa and the Macaronesian Islands. Zool. Meded. Leiden 88 (4), 31.xii.2014: 59-109, figs 1-20, table 1.— ISSN 0024-0672. R.W.M. van Soest, E.J. Beglinger & N.J. de Voogd. Naturalis Biodiversity Center, P.O. Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands (e-mail: [email protected]). Key words: Porifera; sponges; new species; Mycale; Saharan Upwelling; Sahelian Upwelling; Macaronesia. Based on collections assembled by Dutch expeditions to the Northwest African region, including the offshore islands in the neighbouring Atlantic, a taxonomic monograph of sponges of the genus Mycale is presented. Additional material from the region borrowed from the Zoologisk Museum of the Univer- sity of Copenhagen and incidental samples made by individual collectors were also included. The com- bined collections contained sixteen species, nine of which are new to science: Mycale (Aegogropila) syrin­ gosimilis spec. nov., Mycale (Aegogropila) tenerifensis spec. nov., Mycale (Arenochalina) africamucosa spec. nov., Mycale (Carmia) atropha spec. nov., Mycale (Carmia) guineensis spec. nov., Mycale (Naviculina) cruzi spec. nov., Mycale (Paresperella) janvermeuleni spec. nov., Mycale (Rhaphidotheca) verdensis spec. nov. and Mycale (Zygomycale) sierraleonensis spec. nov. We briefly reviewed six Mycale species known from the region, but not represented in our material, making the faunal diversity twenty-two species. We present a key to all species of Northwest Africa and the neighbouring offshore Atlantic islands.

Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

Homalopoa has diversified extensively in the Americas. Over half of the species in the supersection are diclinous; most of these are from the New World, while a few are from South-East Asia. Diclinism in Homalopoa can be divided into three main types: gynomonoecism, gynodioe- cism and dioecism. Here the sampling of species of New World Homalopoa is expanded to date its origin and diver- sification in North and South America and examine the evolution and origin of the breeding system diversity. Methods A total of 124 specimens were included in the matrix, of which 89 are species of Poa supersect. http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/ Homalopoa sections Acutifoliae, Anthochloa, Brizoides, Dasypoa, Dioicopoa, Dissanthelium, Homalopoa sensu lato (s.l.), Madropoa and Tovarochloa, and the informal Punapoa group. Bayesian and parsimony analyses were conducted on the data sets based on four markers: the nuclear ribosomal internal tanscribed spacer (ITS) and exter- nal transcribed spacer (ETS), and plastid trnT-L and trnL-F.

  • TUSSOCK GRASSLAND ASSOCIATIONS One Hundred ‘Years of Farmin,G Have Resulted in Some Marked Changes in the Tussock Grassland Associa- Tions
    TUSSOCK GRASSLAND ASS,OCIATIONS S. H. Saxby, Agrostologist, Department of Agriculture,. Wellington. DISTRIBUTION OF THE; TUSSOCK GRAS’SLANDS At the time colonisation commenced in New Zea- land, about one hundred years ago, there were two main and distinct types of ve,getation. First, there was the tall-growing association of forest trees, shrubs, and fern, which was confined in the main to the North Island and to the higher rainfall areas of the South Island. Second, there was the xerophytic grass-dom- inated association, which was present in the lower rainfall areas on the eastern side of the main divide of the South Island. This association was able to survive under the conditions of low rainfall, high summer temperatures, and low winter temperatures, and the constant desiccating winds. This grass as- sociation extended from high altitudes to sea level and was, in general, present in all areas where forest was unable to survive. A similar association was also present in the high altitudes of the central plateau of the North Island. NATURE OF THE TUSSOCK GRASSLANDS Though the tussock grasslands represent a dis- tinct over-all vegetative association, they are very variable in composition, this variation depending on factors such as moisture, aspect, and soil fertility. There are, however, four grasses the dominance of which can divide the tussock country into as many fairly distinct types. 1. Snow grass (Danthonia flavescens). This tall growing .grass thrives chiefly in the high altitudes, but in the southern parts of the South Island it des- cends to sea level. When allowed to grow unhindered snow grass forms almost pure associations in many areas.

  • Ornamental Grasses for the Midsouth Landscape
    Ornamental Grasses for the Midsouth Landscape Ornamental grasses with their variety of form, may seem similar, grasses vary greatly, ranging from cool color, texture, and size add diversity and dimension to season to warm season grasses, from woody to herbaceous, a landscape. Not many other groups of plants can boast and from annuals to long-lived perennials. attractiveness during practically all seasons. The only time This variation has resulted in five recognized they could be considered not to contribute to the beauty of subfamilies within Poaceae. They are Arundinoideae, the landscape is the few weeks in the early spring between a unique mix of woody and herbaceous grass species; cutting back the old growth of the warm-season grasses Bambusoideae, the bamboos; Chloridoideae, warm- until the sprouting of new growth. From their emergence season herbaceous grasses; Panicoideae, also warm-season in the spring through winter, warm-season ornamental herbaceous grasses; and Pooideae, a cool-season subfamily. grasses add drama, grace, and motion to the landscape Their habitats also vary. Grasses are found across the unlike any other plants. globe, including in Antarctica. They have a strong presence One of the unique and desirable contributions in prairies, like those in the Great Plains, and savannas, like ornamental grasses make to the landscape is their sound. those in southern Africa.
