  • Australian Orchidaceae: Genera and Species (12/1/2004)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (21/1/2008) by Mark A. Clements Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name. Synonyms are also cross-referenced under genus.

Honours is an intensive research-based program requiring an extra year of full- time study (or 18 months part-time study) on top of your undergraduate degree. What is Honours? The Bachelor of Science Honours program (SZ8) is an additional fourth year of Undergraduate studies, completed over 9 months full-time (FT), or 18 months part-time (PT). The main objective of the program is to train students as professional research scientists. Honours students engage in an individual research project under the close supervision of an academic staff member with relevant expertise in their chosen field. Students also complete theoretical coursework designed to complement their research and develop key skills in communication, critical analysis and project management, equipping them for independent research roles in the workplace or for entry into postgraduate research programs. For more program information, see Honours course outline and Honours courses and assessment. Why complete an Honours year? For some students completing honours is the first step towards building an academic research career and pursuing post graduate study. However, completing an Honours year also offers many benefits to those looking to boost their marketability in an increasingly competitive job market.

  • Microseris Walteri Murnong Friends Friends
    Plant in Focus, September 2017 Microseris walteri Murnong Friends 1. Introduction Murnong Microseris walteri was an important plant in the life of Aboriginal people in Western of Victoria and other parts of south eastern Australia. Its tubers provided a consistent supply GeelongBotanic Gardens of energy-rich food for more than half the year. It was widespread, prolific and easy to harvest because the tubers grow close to the soil surface. The Murnong is a yellow-flowered daisy in the milky sap tribe (Cichorieae, also called Lactuceae), of the daisy family Asteraceae. Like many daisies its small seed sit below a parachute of bristles. This ensures the wind catches the seed, separating it from the plant and carrying it some distance. The rich volcanic soil of Western Victoria provided an ideal growing medium for these 1. Murnong Microseris lanceolata flower head, NSW plants, and for grazing sheep. (Image captions show the species name recorded with The Murnong tubers allow the plant to survive the specimen. See discussion on naming.) the hot dry summer conditions in the relative cool below the surface. New shoots appear with the rain in late autumn or early winter. This growth depletes the tuber. A new tuber begins to form once the plant’s leaf growth is well established. The shrivelling old tubers and tiny new ones are not very nutritious, so there are a few months when they cannot be eaten. 2. Aboriginal food use In 1803, when Collins tried to establish a settlement on the eastern side of Port Philip Bay, a convict, William Buckley, escaped and lived with aborigines for 32 years.

Probably the species that occurs in low shrubland in alpine feldmark. Kosciuszko National Park. Probably at higher altitudes elsewhere. Notes Perennial herb to 0.5 m high, arising annually from the roots. Roots sometimes suckering, elongated, fleshy, cylindrical to long- tapered, branching just below ground-level. Leaves basal, mostly 5–20 cm long, 2–15 mm wide, entire to lobed. Flower yellow, 30–50 mm in diameter, with 10–30 yellow 'petals'. Flowers single. Flowers Dec.–Mar. 'Seeds' mostly 5–7 mm long, straw-coloured, with a tuft of 10–20 bristles about 0.3–0.5 mm wide.. Requires examination of the roots/tubers and/or 'seeds' to differentiate it from Microseris walteri. Microseris sp. Snowfields (D.E.Albrecht 123) is now included in Microseris lanceolata. PlantNET has not yet separated Microseris walteri from Microseris lanceolata (2 May 2021) All native plants on unleased land in the ACT are protected.
