Council Member Guest Editorial
E-newsletter: No 107. October 2010 Deadline for next issue: Wednesday 14 November 2012 Council member guest editorial In 2005, I remember giving a presentation to my fellow reference librarians at Christchurch City Libraries on a range of electronic resources providing information about New Zealand’s environment. The Network’s website particularly impressed me and it wasn’t long before I signed up as a member. Back then, I never would have predicted that I would have the opportunity to contribute to that impressive website, but here I am doing just that! As many of you will have read in the August issue of Trilepidea, the Network’s website is undergoing some redevelopment to improve usability. I am enjoying the challenge of helping to improve access to the amazing trove of information contained on our website. I’ve rediscovered hidden corners of the website I’d forgotten about and great new additions such as the lichens and macroalgae species pages. The amazing range of images contributed by hundreds of photographers is a powerful resource that will feature more prominently in the redeveloped site. The new site will be launched soon and I am looking forward to hearing what people think about the changes. Keep your ears and eyes open for the new website and please send your feedback to: [email protected]. There will also be some exciting changes to the Favourite Native Plant vote this year. Though some people may find this annual exercise a bit frivolous, I think it provides a good excuse to share our love for native plants with everyone. -

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT (ff AGRICULTURE INVENTORY No. Washington, D. C. T Issued February, 1930 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, JULY 1 TO SEPTEMBER 30,1928 (NOS. 77261 TO 77595) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names 19 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The most outstanding plant material contained in this inventory, No. 96, covering the period from July 1 to September 30, 1928, is the collection of 51 sugarcane varieties (Saccarum offvoinarum, Nos. 77334 to 77384) procured by E. W. Brandes in New Guinea for use in his official investigations. Part of the interest in this shipment is due to the fact that Doctor Brandes is the first agricultural explorer to use an airplane for his collecting tour. Doctor Brandes not only collected sugarcanes in person but also obtained the cooper- ation of P. H. Goldfinch, Sydney, Australia, who sent in a collection of 44 varieties (Nos. 77496 to 77539). Another lot of five varieties (Nos. 77298 to 77302) was received from Argentina. As in the previous inventory, the bulk of the plant material received in this period comes from the Southern Hemisphere. Through the activities of Mrs. Frieda Cobb Blanchard two collections of Australian plants (Nos. 77273 to 77292 and Nos. 77441 to 77447), as well as a collection from New Zealand (Nos. 77540 to 77582), were received. Through O. F. Cook there was received a collection of rubber-producing plants (Nos. 77387 to 77394) from Haiti. Five kinds of cover crops (Nos. 77293 to 77297) from Ceylon may be of value for the southern United States. -

72 NATIVE PLANTS in a FENDALTON GARDEN Usually
72 NATIVE PLANTS IN A FENDALTON GARDEN DEREK COOK AND WARWICK HARRIS Usually private gardens come and go with little record of their existence. Often their duration is short and determined by the period of care the gardener who created them is able to give to them. Through creating and caring for a garden, a gardener inevitably acquires knowledge of the plants in the garden and their requirements for adequate growth. While most gardeners are happy to show and talk to people about their gardens, few leave a written record of the knowledge they acquired about the plants they grew or attempted to grow in their garden. This is a record of plants of the garden of Derek Cook created at 27 Glandovey Road, Fendalton Christchurch. As described by Mary Lovell-Smith (2001) in The Press, it is a garden that was developed as a consequence of a passionate interest in native plants. The garden is a plant collector's garden. Consequently its form is determined by the objective to grow as many different species of native plant as possible, rather than a concern for decorative appearance. Through this approach information has been obtained about which native plants are most likely to succeed in a Christchurch garden. The first list (Table 1) prepared by Derek Cook recorded plants present in the garden in August 2000 that had survived "Christchurch frosts and dry nor'westers for 5-10 years." A list made in September 2001 recording acquisitions made since the list of August 2000 is given at the end of Table 1. -

Breeding systems and reproduction of indigenous shrubs in fragmented ecosystems A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy III Plant Ecology at Massey University by Merilyn F Merrett .. � ... : -- �. � Massey University Palrnerston North, New Zealand 2006 Abstract Sixteen native shrub species with various breeding systems and pollination syndromes were investigated in geographically separated populations to determine breeding systems, reproductive success, population structure, and habitat characteristics. Of the sixteen species, seven are hermaphroditic, seven dioecious, and two gynodioecious. Two of the dioecious species are cryptically dioecious, producing what appear to be perfect, hermaphroditic flowers,but that functionas either male or female. One of the study species, Raukauaanomalus, was thought to be dioecious, but proved to be hermaphroditic. Teucridium parvifolium, was thought to be hermaphroditic, but some populations are gynodioecious. There was variation in self-compatibility among the fo ur AIseuosmia species; two are self-compatible and two are self-incompatible. Self incompatibility was consistent amongst individuals only in A. quercifolia at both study sites, whereas individuals in A. macrophylia ranged from highly self-incompatible to self-compatible amongst fo ur study sites. The remainder of the hermaphroditic study species are self-compatible. Five of the species appear to have dual pollination syndromes, e.g., bird-moth, wind-insect, wind-animal. High levels of pollen limitation were identified in three species at fo ur of the 34 study sites.
