APS NSW - Armidale & District Group Spring 2012 Newsle>er page 1 GROUP INFORMATION The Armidale and District Group of APS---NSW started on 6th August, 1977 as the New England Group of the Society for Growing Australian Plants. It has been running conDnuously since that Dme with a couple of name changes. We are a very friendly and helpful group who enjoy monthly forums and meeDngs, garden visits and field trips to help members enjoy the search for knowledge about our nave flora and our local environment. We range from raw beginners to others who have been gardening and researching for many years - all willing to share their knowledge. Formal Mee6ngs are held at 5.30pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Members are welcome to aend. Nave Plant and Garden Forums are held in the TAFE LiBrary Seminar Room on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except June, July, December and January) from 7.30 – 9.30 where members talk about plants in flower from specimens displayed on the flower table and share informaon about gardening topics. The Forum is followed by a delicious supper and an interesDng speaker. Old and new members, visitors and families, are very welcome at these Forums and on our ouDngs (see page 8 for details). Annual General Mee6ng is held in February. Sols6ce Func6on is held in June. This is usually a lunch and garden ramble at the home of one of our members. Wa?le Day Ac6vity is held on a day closest to 1 September. Christmas Party is held early in December at the home of one of our members. We also lead regular trips into the bush and the occasional weekend escape to the coast or elsewhere. We parDcipate in St Peter’s Garden Tour in November each year, opening one of our gardens to the public and holding our Giant Annual Plant Sale. We hold a Market Stall each month in the Mall. Come along and say hello. Our members have also been acDve in developing and maintaining the Na6ve Garden Beds at the ArBoretum. We welcome volunteers who would like to help. See p.8 for our calendar and details of events.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

  • Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt
    plants Article Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt Rania A. Hassan * and Rim S. Hamdy Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza 12613, Egypt; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: For the first time, an updated checklist of Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species. Taking into consideration the retypification of genus Acacia ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent years. The review of Acacia and its segregates in Egypt became necessary in light of the available information cited in classical works during the last century. In Egypt, various taxa formerly placed in Acacia s.l., have been transferred to Acacia s.s., Acaciella, Senegalia, Parasenegalia and Vachellia. The present study is a contribution towards clarifying the nomenclatural status of all recorded species of Acacia and its segregate genera. This study recorded 144 taxa (125 species and 19 infraspecific taxa). Only 14 taxa (four species and 10 infraspecific taxa) are indigenous to Egypt (included now under Senegalia and Vachellia). The other 130 taxa had been introduced to Egypt during the last century. Out of the 130 taxa, 79 taxa have been recorded in literature. The focus of this study is the remaining 51 exotic taxa that have been traced as living species in Egyptian gardens or as herbarium specimens in Egyptian herbaria. The studied exotic taxa are accommodated under Acacia s.s. (24 taxa), Senegalia (14 taxa) and Vachellia (13 taxa).

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.

  • COAST WATTLE at Nine Mile Beach
    Glamorgan Spring Bay BIODIVERSITY FACT SHEET No 1 COAST WATTLE at Nine Mile Beach The aim of this fact sheet is to clarify issues with regard to COAST WATTLE at Nine Mile Beach in relation to its: Common and scientific name Origin Recognition and Potential fire hazard Recognition Many plants can exhibit a degree of variation between individuals of the same species and this can sometimes be confusing when attempting to identify a species. Some such variation is present in COAST WATTLE at Nine Mile Beach. Typical COAST WATTLE can be recognised by the following characteristics: Seed pods Commonly coiled or contorted Leaf (or phyllode*3): Shape Broadest part of the leaf is in the upper half Length 5 – 12 cm Width 10 – 30 mm COAST WATTLE (Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae) - Photo 4: Leaves (phyllodes); Veins 2 - 4 prominent primary veins Photo 5 (inset): Seed pods Notes *1 There are two subspecies of Acacia longifolia. These are Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae and Acacia longifolia subsp. longifolia. However, some authorities consider these subspecies to be two distinct species. Furthermore some plant nurseries sell COAST WATTLE as Acacia sophorae. *2 Biodiversity, or biological diversity, is the variety of all life forms. It includes genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity. *3 The ‘leaves’ of many wattles are not true leaves but ‘phyllodes’ which are technically defined as ‘an expanded, leaf-like petiole (or leaf stalk) lacking a true leaf blade’.

  • Scientific Opinion 1
    EFSA Journal 2015;13(4):4079 SCIENTIFIC OPINION 1 Risk to plant health in the EU territory of the intentional release 2 of the bud-galling wasp Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae 3 1 for the control of the invasive alien plant Acacia longifolia 4 EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH)2,3 5 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy 6 ABSTRACT 7 The EFSA Panel on Plant Health was requested by the European Commission to assess the risk to plant health in 8 the European Union if the Australian bud-galling wasp Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae was released for the 9 control of the invasive alien plant Acacia longifolia in Portugal. T. acaciaelongifoliae feeds on A. longifolia and 10 A. floribunda. In South Africa, following its intentional introduction in 1982 and 1983, the wasp is now present 11 throughout the range of A. longifolia in that country, with most plants showing galls and seed set reductions of, 12 initially, up to 95 %. Climatic conditions in the EU are largely suitable for establishment wherever A. longifolia 13 and A. floribunda are present. T. acaciaelongifoliae is moderately likely to establish and spread in the EU, by 14 natural means, but particularly if it is intentionally moved to control populations of A. longifolia other than those 15 present in Portugal. The effects on native biodiversity and ecosystems resulting from invasive populations of 16 A. longifolia are likely to be reduced by the wasp. A. longifolia is grown as an ornamental plant in some EU 17 countries. A. floribunda is not an invasive plant in the EU and is cultivated as an ornamental plant on a small 18 scale in France, Greece and Italy.
