  • David Mabberley and Australian Botany
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 71(Suppl. 2):7-24. 2019 7 doi: 10.26492/gbs71(suppl. 2).2019-03 David Mabberley and Australian botany B. G. Briggs & K. L. Wilson National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. [email protected] ABSTRACT. David Mabberley has worked on five continents but chose Australia as his home, moving there in 1996. By then, he already had an outstanding international reputation and his contributions to Australian botany and Australian botanical history had started with his biographies of botanist Robert Brown and botanical artist Ferdinand Bauer. Joseph Banks, Brown and Bauer have remained continuing interests for him with further publications and lectures. In Australia he has contributed to the treatments of Meliaceae and Rutaceae in the Flora of Australia, drawn attention to the work of John Bidwill and other botanical figures, established important collaborations on the phylogeny and diseases of Citrus, investigated Red Cedar (Toona ciliata), given master classes in economic botany, and much more. Moving to Australia did not deflect David from his global reach in tropical botany, the world’s flora in The Plant-book, and economically important plants. He has contributed greatly to Australian botany, but his career of outstanding achievement continues to be global, not limited to a single continent. Keywords. Australia, Ferdinand Bauer, John Bidwill, Joseph Banks, Robert Brown, systematic botany Introduction As a researcher and educator, David Mabberley has worked on five continents, including both the Old and the New World tropics. He was based in Britain, his birth- place, for the early stages of his career but he later chose Australia as his home.

Leaves simple, with parallel nerves. In- terminal in umbels florescences or axillary, cymes, spikes or (in Amaryllidoideae), or flowers solitary, bracteateand often with one or few spathes (in Amaryllidoideae). Flowers sometimes in 2 free bisexual, actinomorphic or zygomorphic, marcescent. Tepals whorls, sometimes with Stamens free or united into a tube, a conspicuous corona. 6, or some- times united into a false corona, often inserted at the mouth of the perigone-tube; anthers often versatile. 3-celled with basifixed, dorsifixed or medifixed, Ovary inferior, axillary placentas; ovules 1 to numerous per cell. Fruit capsular, dehiscing either loculicidally or irregularly, or fruit a berry. Seeds globose or flattened, sometimes winged. Distribution— Cosmopolitan, with c. 80 genera and around 1000 species. In Malesia only 6 genera are indigenous or naturalized, but many others are cultivatedin botanic and private gardens (see the list on p. 371). Taxonomy — The family is treated here in a broad sense, comprising the genera with an inferior ovary, i.e. excluding the Allioideae(= Alliaceae), which are characterized by a superior ovary. In Malesia there are no indigenous species of the latter family, which is treated elsewhere in this instalment (p. 375). The Agavoideae (partly with an inferiorovary and partly with a superior one) are also excluded. The family Agavaceae has one indigenous genus in Malesia (Dracaena, includ- ing Pleomele). In the Amaryllidaceae two subfamilies are hererecognized which are often considered to be distinctfamilies: the Amaryllidoideae (= Amaryllidaceae s.

  • Systematic Studies in the Family Liliaceae from Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 15(2): 115-128, 2008 (December) © 2008 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists SYSTEMATIC STUDIES IN THE FAMILY LILIACEAE FROM BANGLADESH 1 SUMONA AFROZ AND MD. ABUL HASSAN Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh Keywords: Liliaceae, Systematic studies, Bangladesh Abstract The family Liliaceae A.L. de Jussieu has been revised for Bangladesh and a total of 34 species with one variant under 16 genera have been recorded. Artificial dichotomous keys to the genera and species have been given. Descriptions have been provided for each taxon, and local names, flowering and fruiting periods have been added wherever available. Out of 34 species, 16 species are native/naturalized and 18 species, including 1 variant, are exotic. Four genera, ten species and one variant have been documented for the first time in Bangladesh. Introduction Liliaceae A.L. de Jussieu, the Lily family, is a moderately large family consisting of about 280 genera and nearly 4000 species, widespread throughout the world, but most abundant and varied in fairly dry, temperate to subtropical regions. The family is characterized by the following diagnostic characters: i) Perennial or annual herbs, rarely shrubs, with starchy rhizome, bulb or corm; ii) Leaves simple, alternate or less often opposite or whorled, often all basal; iii) Flowers in a raceme, spike, panicle or involucrate cymose umbel, sometimes solitary or paired in the axils of the leaves; iv) Tepals 6-8, usually in 2 similar petaloid cycles, stamens usually as many as the tepals; v) Carpels 3 (rarely 2 or 4), united, ovary superior or inferior with axile or basal placentation; vi) Fruit a loculicidal or septicidal capsule, less often a berry, seeds often flat (Cronquist 1981).

  • Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
    Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.

  • Incantations and Herbal Medicines: Alune Ethnomedical Knowledge in a Context of Change
    Journal of EHmobiology 18(1):39-67 Summer 1998 INCANTATIONS AND HERBAL MEDICINES: ALUNE ETHNOMEDICAL KNOWLEDGE IN A CONTEXT OF CHANGE MARGARET J. FLOREY Department ofLinguistics, La Trobe University Bundoora, Victoria 3083, Australia XENIA Y. WOLFF Botanical consultant 9441 Belair Rd, Baltimore MD 21236, USA ABSTRACT.-An analysis of healing practices among the Alune people ofSeram Island, eastern lndon~sia, reveals that in the pre-Christian era, healers treated illnesses and midwifery concerns with herbal medicines made from a wide range of plant, animal, and mineral matter. If a patient failed to respond to herbal medicines, the illness was considered to have arisen in ancestral reprisal for the misdeeds of the patient or to have derived from the destructive magic of sorcerers. In such cases treatment required divination of the source of the problem followed by the recitation of curative incantations in conjunction with (non-medicinal) aids. Conversion to Christianity early in the twentieth century led to the suppression of many pre-Christian practices, including traditional health care practices, and abruptly interrupted transmission of such knowledge. Concomitant with social changes, language shift to the regional Malay variety, Ambonese Malay, is also occurring. Acontrast can be drawn between Alune villages which have, until very rc<:ently, been protected from rapid sociopolitical and linguistic changes by th~ir relative remoteness in mountain locations, and villages which have relocated to sites nearer to the coast and have been subject to more intense processes ofchange. We compare the situation in two sites reflecting these different patterns. In both the inland location of Lohiasapalewa and the relocated coastal village of Lohiatala, the use of herbal medicines is associated with the pre-ChriStian era and transmission of this knowledge has greatly diminished.

P.J. Lang Bioknowledge SA, Information, Science & Technology, Department of Environment and Heritage, G.P.O. Box 1047, Adelaide, South Australia 5001 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new rare arid zone species, Calostemma abdicatum, is described from central Australia. It has hitherto been treated as a north-western outlier of either of its two congeners, C. purpureum and C. luteum. Morphological measurements support the retention of these as separate species and demonstrate the distinctiveness of the new species. Despite the absence of a staminal corona, C. abdicatum is placed in Calostemma and the description of the genus is amended. Notes on habitat, ecology and conservation status are included. Introduction that “variation in the genus requires investigation” and that C. luteum was “possibly only a colour variant of C.
