"AUSTRALIAN ORCHID RESEARCH VOLUME 4, A REVIEW OF PTEROSTYLIS". -

First impressions - by Dick Thompson (from A.N.O.S. Vic. Bulletin)

I have now spent a day reading, thinking and coming to terms with the research presented in Australian Orchid Research Volume 4, A review of Pterostylis. First impressions are that the work is a significant step in Australasian orchid research and it gives some feel for the breadth, depth and importance of research being undertaken by David Jones, Mark Clements and their teams. The 168 page document has sections on: 1. A reassessment of Pterostylis with a 60 page section outlining the research and the logic upon which the proposed changes are based. 2. A new classification of Pterostylis provided by another 60 page section on the taxonomic treatment of the Pterostylis complex 3. A synopsis of the Subtribe Pterostylidinae.

The research work is supported by excellent line drawings of plants, and parts; photos of minute flower parts, maps and colour photographs. Detailed drawings are provided for the type species of each .

I found the work very readable although coming to terms with the proposed names will take some more time.

REMINDERS LIBRARY BOOKS Library Books are to be borrowed for one month only.

Note to Exhibitors - DON'T FORGET Judges do not like having to remove the white labels from pots to read the name of the plant as they realise the risk of damaging tubers and roots. From now on judges will not be removing these labels from pots to ascertain details. In future all plants benched for judging must have a separate label showing, name of plant and owner's exhibitor's number. Any label can be used that is not too large (ideal size is 3cm x 10cm). If this label is not on or near the pot at time of judging it will be assumed that that plant is not for competition and will not be judged. 4 OBITUARY

Members are advised that Gwen Robjohns passed away late last year. She was a long time member of NOSSA. Gwen was a helper in the background and supported her husband throughout his long terms of office on the committee as treasurer and president and journal preparer. She set the standard for delicious suppers at committee meetings when they were held in her home. Gwen was a happy, friendly person who liked a joke. She always helped with arrangements for the Xmas meeting at NOSSA and shared a kind word with others. We will miss her smiling face.

GLOSSODIA MAJOR ON KANGAROO ISLAND

We were particularly interested in Thelma's article (Vol.26 10: 106) to hopefully read that your group located Glossodia major during their visit to Kangaroo Island (23-28 September 2002) but it appears they did not.

We sent the first pressing of G. major to the Herbarium in October 1992 to Joe Webber but note that recent listings still do not show G. major as being on Kangaroo Island. We sent specimens to Dr Mark Clements who has checked the DNA to see if there were any variations due to separation from the mainland but tests revealed that they are the same species. After a survey last year we located an additional 21 plants making a total of 33 plants on the Dudley Peninsula but nothing on other sections of the island.

Consequently we would be grateful if you could let us know if any specimens are located during any future field trips to the island by your members.

Review: "Australia 300 Years of Botanical Illustration by Helen Hewson" Edda Viskic (Originally published in the SA Orchid Bulletin as a three part series this article is reprinted here but in two parts).

While enjoying this wonderful illustrated volume of work, I realized that the orchid focus was of particular significance to local growers and artists alike so I have written this review through the lens of an orchid lover. Orchids in Botanical Illustration have a revealing history of development through the exploration, plant collection, classification and recording of scientific observations prior to the invention of photography. In this 2000 reprint of the CSIRO Publishing, the author traces the technical evolution of artists and methodology of reproduction from Europe to Australia and back through the printing of Flora and the establishment of herbaria in Botanic Gardens within Australia. 5 The discovery, exploration and development of the Southern Hemisphere coincided with an enlightenment in scientific observations and recording methods in Europe where exotica were popular for food, medicine and horticultural designs. Many newly imported plants were introduced to Botanic and private gardens by the nursery trade who funded early explorers, botanists, gardeners, collectors and artists. Travelling and working tirelessly under difficult conditions, whether on voyages or crossing the inland of the continent, they observed, recorded and collected new plants to communicate with an eager public hungry for new discoveries. The German botanist Swartz described Dendrobium linguiforme in 1800, which may have been the first Australian orchid described. The 200 year anniversary of the Matthew Flinders voyage this year celebrates the work of the crew and scientists of the Investigator including Robert Brown, naturalist and , artist. In England, Brown and Bauer worked together in one laboratory at the British Museum and the mental and observational stimuli of the one enhanced the output of the other. Brown influenced the extent and level of observation needed to be recorded in botanical drawings of Ferdinand Bauer. They were a great team to go into the field into unknown Australia. Chosen by to accompany the voyage to New Holland in 1801, Brown used the natural classification system of Antoine de Jussieu but the sheer diversity of the new Australian plants forced him to use the 'artificial' Linnaean system for practical purposes. In August 1803, Flinders returned to England to obtain another vessel, enabling Brown and Bauer to explore the Port Jackson area and Brown to visit Van Dieman's land for nine months. He collected over 3500 plants and Bauer drew over 1500 plants. In 1805 they returned to England, Bauer having also collected from Norfolk Island. Flinders prepared a journal of A Voyage to Terra Australis, which was published in 1814. Banks wrote the Preface, Brown provided the botanical entry and Bauer prepared 10 plates. It is an irony to notice that the French Academy of Sciences took more notice of Robert Brown's experience and insight into biology than the British (with the inspirational exception of C. Darwin). Along with Buffon and Adanson, Brown laid out the mechanistic and theoretical basis of biological systematics, classical . (F.A. Stafleu) As Banks' librarian, Brown prepared and published in 1810 Volume 1 of his "Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et lnsulae Van Dieman" in which 110 species of orchids were described. This was to be illustrated by Bauer who in 1813 published three parts, fifteen plates of his Illustrationes Florae Novae Hollandiae. Bauer's beautiful original drawings may still be seen in the British Museum. He completed 236 paintings from his over 2000 drawings for the British Admiralty, 1542 of Australian native plants. Not many were published in his lifetime in the early 19th century when the plates were metal engravings with the drawing or engraving being done by Bauer. The engraving technique was a combination of line and stipple with an apparent touch of mezzotint work on the stipple. Later engravers working on his plates often did not measure up to his own standards. Bauer used a technique in common with Sydney Parkinson from Captain Cook's voyage in using a code of numbers for colours on pencil sketches while in the field, completing the painting later. It is interesting to note that by the time he left Australia, Bauer's numbers were over one thousand. His elder brother Franz, was also an excellent botanical artist, who used the microscope to study the pollinia and fertilization structures of the exotic orchids he was employed to illustrate at Gardens for 50 years. 6 The Transactions of the Linnean Society of London contained many illustrations of the Bauer Brothers with early descriptions of Australian plants. A dainty watercolour of major was recorded by one of the brothers though often, the signing was missing Ferd. or Fr??? Was that Ferdinand or Franz??? Ferdinand used the inclusion of at least one structure at natural size to give scale. His appealing composition was used by , when he published Collectio Botanica 1821-26 in which a Norfolk Island passionfruit, Passiflora aurantia painted by Ferdinand, was copper engraved and hand coloured by Weddell. Other F.Bauer works were published in Plantae Javanicae Rariores 1838 by T. Horsfield, with botanical descriptions by Robert Brown. John Lindley was an illustrator, assistant librarian to Robert Brown in Banks' library and herbarium at Soho Square. As Professor of Botany at the newly founded London University, he named the W.A. genus Drakea elastica in 1840. He specialized in the taxonomy of orchids and named the genus after Sarah Drake, a family friend and botanical artist he used as his children's nanny for many years. Her work is of outstanding colour and definition. Francis (Franz) Bauer and John Lindley both developed a passion for orchids and they collaborated to publish Illustrations of Orchidaceous Plants. Summarizing his own observations of orchid structure, recognising several major groups according to the type of pollen and its arrangement on the was fundamental to the basis of Lindley's orchid classification of the various Genera into tribes. The fasicles appeared between 1830 and 1838 making 35 plates, 25 by Francis Bauer and 7 by John Lindley who wrote the Prefatory Remarks. The plates were lithographed by Maxim Gauci, an acclaimed, talented, scientific artist. Lindley published extensively and illustrated many of his publications himself, though blind in one eye. He collaborated with two women illustrators, Augusta Withers and Sarah Drake and other horticulturalists such as Joseph Paxton, his co-author of Paxton's flower garden 1850-53. Mrs Augusta Withers was the flower painter to Queen Adelaide 1792-1849, wife of King William IV, after whom the South Australian capital city was named. James Bateman detested hybrids and hybridising of species, so he used Augusta's watercolour paintings of Acineta barkeri, an epiphytic species from Central America and Mexico reproductions in his published works of Mexico and Guatemala. Samuel Holden was a botanical artist who specialized in orchid paintings in Paxton's Magazine of Botany. Lindley also worked on collections of Thomas Mitchell's survey expeditions of inland East Australia. He made a major contribution to the recording of Australian Flora literally, scientifically and illustratively. As editor of Edward's Botanical Register 1829-1847 he featured many Australian species. Publishing his own illustrated treatment in Sertum Orchidoceum, a wreath of the most beautiful orchidaceous flowers between 1837 and 1841 with 45 plates drawn by Sarah Drake. He described new specimens from in his Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony 1839 containing some of Sarah Drake's illustrations. He served to complement and enhance the focus of taxonomic botany being brought about by William Hooker. Both men were workaholic scientist artists. William was also editor of grand periodicals like Fiore des serres et des Jardins de l'Europe 1845-1883. This was a compilation of previous publications, like the one from 1842, Genera Filicam of illustrations of Ferns and other allied Genera, which had contained original coloured drawings of his teacher Francis Bauer. Twelve lithographs for this were executed by William Fitch using zinc plates. As a student, Hooker had become an outstanding illustrator of fruits for the Royal Horticultural 7 Society. Joseph Banks helped him to be appointed to the Chair of Botany at Glasgow for 20 years and then he became Director of until 1865. Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, second son of , was appointed assistant surgeon and naturalist on the Ross expedition to the Antarctic. In 1839 to 1843, they visited the Kerguelen Islands, Van Dieman's Land and Sydney in 1841 as well as and the Faulkland Islands. On returning to Kew Gardens and reestablishing himself as Director, a post his father William had been minding, he published The botany of the Antarctic voyage of H.M. discovery ships Erebus and Terror in 1839-43 in three volumes. Some of Joseph's own drawings were used for the volume of plates depicting plants collected on the voyage. Others were drawn and lithographed by Walter Fitch. Joseph Hooker was beginning to formulate what are now known as phytogeographic concepts; relatedness and distribution patterns of plants of Gondwanan Flora. He found Arundina bambusifolia in the Khasia Hills in grassland on the Burmese and Indian border. It is a great roadside colonising orchid that flowers readily in warm areas of many tropical locations including Hawaii. Walter Hood Fitch worked for both Hookers and became one of the most prolific botanical illustrators of all time. He learned lithography and was able to work from flat herbarium specimens and convincingly create 3D illusion. One estimate is that he achieved 12,000 published drawings, one being a hand-coloured lithograph of Prasophyllum alpinum drawn by William Archer and Walter Fitch and published by Joseph Hooker in his Flora Tasmaniae in 1858. He published extensively in the Popular guide to the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew in 1844. William Archer has the honour of being the first Australian born self-taught botanical illustrator. He collaborated with Joseph Hooker in 1856 and 1858 on Flora Tasmaniae which is dedicated to both collectors Archer and Ronald Gunn after whom terrestrial orchid Chiloglottis gunnii is named. Hooker spent six months in often guided by Gunn to a range of habitats. Hooker wrote of this "I can recall no happier weeks of my wanderings over the globe than those spent with Mr. Gunn collecting in the Tasmanian mountains and forests or studying our plants in his library with the works of his predecessors Labillardiere and Brown." The introductory essay of Flora Tasmaniae collaborates and supports Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution outlining Joseph Hooker's personal views on phytogeography and other botanical issues. The Tasmanian Government provided the funds to assist in the publication of this important essay, at a time when it was most controversial. Ellis Rowan was also an Australian born, self taught artist who was offered botanical illustration training in Germany by who intended publishing an illustrated Flora. He travelled extensively over Australia, setting up collector's networks and cooperating with Kew. Ellis Rowan completed a watercolour arid gouache painting of Phaius tankervilliae, Dendrobium cacatua and Den. X delicatum in 1867. Frederick Bailey used 16 of her plates to illustrate his Comprehensive Catalogue of Plants (1909). She published her own field and painting experiences in A Flower Hunter in Queensland (1898) and Bill Baillie; his life and adventures (1908). Marianne North was travelling in Australia in 1880 and she contacted Rowan and taught her oil painting. Together they painted several arrangements of Australian flowers including the "Wildflowers of Albany" Western Australia which contain open and unopen buds of the blue Sun Orchid Thelymitra sp. North often added habitat background for the natural flowering display of her flower paintings as in Dendrobium cruentum and Cymbidium findlaysonianum from Sarawak and "The Glory of Table Mountain" in South Africa where she depicted red Disa uniflora 8 coexisting with blue D. graminifolia and our own Australian fern Todea barbara . Her "Wildflowers of New York" included the pink Cypripedium acaule and from the Seychelles she depicted white Vanilla phapaenopsis hanging from a wild orange on long ropey stems. About 800 of North's paintings are permanently displayed in the North Gallery at Kew Gardens. Each depicts subjects painted in their environment in exotic parts of the world. Oil allows paintings to be permanently on display. Watercolour pigments are more fragile and soon fade when exposed to bright light..., to be contd.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT HARDY'S SCRUB - 4/8/02 Thelma Bridle

Thirteen NOSSA members met at Gate 14, Hardy's Scrub, Onkaparinga River NP. I hope nobody spent the afternoon looking for the fictional Gate 26! There were many orchids seen, mainly leaves, but some winter-flowering orchids. The winter orchid species have been delayed this year, due to the dry autumn and unfortunately all Corybas despectans populations found had flowers close to, but not quite open. The flowering season of this species is the shortest of all the Corybas, so always a bit difficult to catch perfectly. The flowers are small with the dorsal barely hooding the labellum. They grow on very short pedicels, making lying flat on the ground an imperative for photography. As the species is self-pollinated it is reliable for setting seed, and the seedpods are encountered quite frequently, on stems which grow to about 4cm in height before the strongly- ribbed pods dehisce: Seedpods of the insect-pollinated C. diemenicus are uncommon, but the flowers are far more numerous and we saw many of these, some flowers quite large. Pterostylis smaragdyna and P. sanguinea were both flowering. These two species are often encountered growing together, but do not cross-pollinate. The green striped Pterostylis robusta and P. nana were also flowering. was reaching the end of its flowering season with A. caudatus not far from flowering. The early- flowered robusta was in flower. A number of species were recorded as leaves: carnea, C. latifolia, C. leptochila, C. tentaculata Diuris orientis Glossodia major, with buds in the leaf axils Microtis sp. Pterostylis pedunculata Thelymitra antennifera, T. grandiflora, T. nuda, T. pauciflora, T. rubra. A number of the Thelymitra species leaves were rust-affected. Despite not finding Corybas despectans in flower, the number of orchid species seen, the sunny day and pleasant company made an enjoyable afternoon.

MOUNT BRYAN AREA FOR PTEROSTYLIS DESPECTANS Thelma Bridle

Sunday 28th July 2002 started sunny but the cool wind increased, blowing cloud into and covering Mount Bryan, and by midday it was raining. fortunately Phil and I made an early start as we wanted to check the stakes we had painted last year to mark flowering and seeding plants of Pterostylis aft. despectans. We used a different colour to mark rosettes for this year. The majority of flowered plants from last year had large rosettes this year, with evidence 9 of buds forming in the centre of the rosette. Some seeded plants had several small rosettes rather than a single large rosette. At the first site on Banbury Road we were greeted by a flock of apostle birds, who hopped ahead as we approached the first stakes. Suddenly the birds became alarmed and noisy, the reason for this becoming quickly evident as a flock of white-winged choughs flew off. Just as well, we don't want SA choughs catching on to the habits of Victorian choughs, who are aware that every stake marks a delicious meal. Doug Bickerton, who is in charge of monitoring and conserving this endangered species, was interested in counting additional P. aff despectans rosettes in Peppermint Gully to add to the total size of the population. He and six NOSSA members commenced this task whilst Phil and I again checked plants marked last year. It appeared the sheep had not brought their lambs to the sheltered paddock on Chris Parker's property as the vegetation was excellent and all stakes of flowering plants were preserved. We just managed to complete the marking for this year's rosettes before the rain started. The small roadside patch of P. aff despectans, which seeded so well last year, turned out to be part of a larger colony inside the fence. 68 rosettes were counted over the fence with a total along the roadside increased to 42 rosettes. In all, nearly 700 plants were counted in the lightly grazed paddock. Another landholder's block was also surveyed. This was an over-grazed hillside, much like Tony Sumner's block used to be. Here P. aff despectans rosettes were scattered and all were small, with no evidence of flowers developing. It will be interesting to follow these sites through in the year. Whilst we were busy marking stakes a passing landholder stopped to ask what we were doing and whether we had permission. Having allayed his concerns, he expressed an interest in orchids and invited us to survey his block, not far from the newly proclaimed Caroona Conservation Park. However, the rain made the roads slippery, and he returned to suggest we defer our visit. We drove carefully and slowly back to Mount Bryan and then home in the rain. Mike Wicks again joined us from Melbourne for the surveying, and on the Monday assisted Doug with counting all rosettes on Tony Sumner's fenced area. They found 201 rosettes, just a slight increase on last year's total. The population at Brinkworth was estimated to have roughly the same number of rosettes as in 2001.

White-winged chough's and invertebrate pitfalls. David Hirst

Thelma Bridle, in the article above, hoped the white-winged chough's would not learn that the stakes indicate a delicious meal. However, chough's do learn very quickly. In a recent survey of Invertebrates at Millbrook Reservoir that I conducted for Friends of Millbrook, a row of 12 small plastic tubes and six larger ones, all of ethylene-glycol and acting as pitfall traps were dug into the ground at each of five sites to catch ground dwelling insects and spiders. These were to be replaced monthly, but at some sites almost every one of the smaller pitfalls was pulled out of the ground so I had to discontinue using these small pitfalls at those sites. These inquisitive birds walk along the line likely picking out the larger insects and spiders. Fortunately they were unable to pull out the larger pitfalls. Ravens or crows can also be a nuisance and I have seen these with their head in 'bucket' pitfalls (3 litre plastic buckets witht ½ litre of 75% alcohol) happily feeding on pickled cockroaches etc. Chough's feed mainly on insects and their larvae [which suggest they may dig around with their beaks], seed and soft cultivated fruits. This does suggest orchid tubers may also be palatable and Phillipa Horton, Collection Manager of birds in the South Australian Museum, has verified that they have been recorded as eating germinating peas and beans and there is a record of one eating an unidentified tuber. 10 NOSSA LIBRARY HOLDINGS First part of three -to be continued in the March & April journals. 1 Australian Orchids Rosa Fiveash 2 Australian Terrestrial Orchids C.D.
