  • Vegetation on Fraser Island
    Vegetation On Fraser Island Imagine towering pines, rainforest trees with three metre girths, rare and ancient giant ferns, eucalypt forests with their characteristic pendulous leaves, lemon-scented swamp vegetation and dwarfed heathland shrubs covered in a profusion of flowers. Now imagine them all growing on an island of sand. Two of Fraser Island’s unique features are its diversity of vegetation and its ability to sustain this vegetation in sand, a soil that is notoriously low in nutrients essential to plant growth. Plants growing on the dunes can obtain their nutrients (other than nitrogen) from only two sources - rain and sand. Sand is coated with mineral compounds such as iron and aluminium oxides. Near the shore the air contains nutrients from sea spray which are deposited on the sand. In a symbiotic relationship, fungi in the sand make these nutrients available to the plants. These in turn supply various organic compounds to the fungi which, having no chlorophyll cannot synthesise for themselves. Colonising plants, such as spinifex, grow in this nutrient poor soil and play an integral role in the development of nutrients in the sand. Once these early colonisers have added much needed nutrients to the soil, successive plant communities that are also adapted to low nutrient conditions, can establish themselves. She-oaks ( Allocasuarina and Casuarina spp.) can be found on the sand dunes of the eastern beach facing the wind and salt spray. These hardy trees are a familiar sight throughout the island with their thin, drooping branchlets and hard, woody cones. She-oaks are known as nitrogen fixers and add precious nutrients to the soil.

  • In Vitro Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Potential of Sterculia Urens Roxb
    Shukla et al. Future Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2020) 6:45 Future Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s43094-020-00063-9 Pharmaceutical Sciences RESEARCH Open Access In vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Sterculia urens Roxb. root extract and its bioactive phytoconstituents evaluation Anjali Shukla, Krishna Desai and Nainesh Modi* Abstract Background: The plant Sterculia urens Roxb. of Malvaceae family is comparatively understudied. Genus Sterculia is widely recognized by its phytomedicinal and ethnomedicinal attributes. The study is aimed to evaluate the qualitative analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thin layer chromatography (TLC), total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the crude hydro-methanolic extract of S. urens root. Results: The antioxidant activity, antimicrobial assay for clinical isolates, and TPC were measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity, agar well diffusion method, and Folin–Ciocalteu assay respectively. Hydro- methanolic extract confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, saponins, steroids, and glycosides as primary and secondary metabolites, which was later confirmed by TLC. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of alkanes, alkenes, alkyl halides, halogen compounds, primary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, aldehyde, aromatic amine, secondary amines, amide group, and carboxylic acid. The crude extract was composed of a significant quantity of total phenolic content with 705 ± 0.40 mg GAE/g. Synergistically, the IC50 value of the crude extract and ascorbic acid was found to be 27.055 μg/ml and 37.244 μg/ml, respectively, which suggests that root extract possesses strong antioxidant properties. The majority of the microbial strains exhibited varying degrees of sensitivity to the root extract with a notable inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,andPenicillium glaucum.

  • Alphitonia Excelsa Common Name: Red Ash Family - Rhamnaceae
    Alphitonia Excelsa Common Name: Red Ash Family - Rhamnaceae Description • Alphitonia Excelsa is a small to medium size tree with a branching canopy formation • Reaches a height of 15m and width of 6m • The tree is commonly found in dry sclerophyll forest and rainforests • Favours well drained soils and is highly suitable for erosion control areas • Fast growing ability, highly suitable for areas prone to coastal salty winds and drought condition • Prefers full sun conditions • Spectacular cream ‘petal-like’ flowers appear from summer to autumn • Ecological role provides a habitat for native birds (cockatoos) and the small green-banded blue butterfly • Round black fruit ripens from June to September • Distribution occurs from the coastal areas of WA across the top end of the NT, and along the coastline from Northern Qld to the southern coastal areas of NSW How to look after this plant • Prefers full sun • When planting tree into ground, dig a slow release native fertiliser (low phosphorous formulation) into soil to provide plant with essential nutrients, encourage healthy plant growth and increase flowering. Slow release fertiliser will generally last up to 6 months, reapply between 5-6 months to continue plant growth • Water every 2-3 days a week for the first month when planted. Cut back watering to once or twice a week after the first month (avoid over watering) • Lightly prune after the flowering season to increase the foliage growth • If soil is low in organic matter, dig compost into existing soil to develop valuable humus around your plant. • For clay soils, dig gypsum and garden soil into the existing ground to encourage drainage.

MEA CULPA: My apol~gi~sonce again for a belated newsletter. This time I'll blame the weather ; a year of drought until Feb. 28th.) then a month of rain every day. As I'm not on town (reticulated) water, and my creek dried up Tor the second time in 13 years, watering involved rationing small amounts of bought (by the truckload) water to my 500-odd pots {I'm a compulsive propagator}. Then the rain brought up 2 years supply of weeds. And then I lost the first version of this 4 newsletter when my computer's hard disc died. MEMBERSHIP: I'm not sure whether some people want to be in this study group. If I do know, a tick will follow the questio mark on the line below: 9- P - - J If there is no tick, please advise if you want to be in' the group. Our financial year ends June 30th. Sub remains at $5. Next newsletter should be in early July. Welcome to new Qld. members Merv Hodqe, Albert Grilanc, Jan Glazebrook, Dennis Cox, & Joy & Fred McKew. All have joined only recently, so their subs I'll take as paid for '94-'95. BRACHYCHITON DISTRIBUTION MAPS: I have omitted these for those people who I know have copies of Guymer's article from which they were taken. t LIVING PLANT COLLECTION: As usual, a month of hot humidity killed all my Thomasias save one small-leaved species, which looks fine.

  • Auwahi: Ethnobotany of a Hawaiian Dryland Forest
    AUWAHI: ETHNOBOTANY OF A HAWAIIAN DRYLAND FOREST. A. C. Medeiros1, C.F. Davenport2, and C.G. Chimera1 1. U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, Haleakala Field Station, P.O. Box 369, Makawao, HI 96768 2. Social Sciences Department, Maui Community College, 310 Ka’ahumanu Ave., Kahului, HI 96732 ABSTRACT Auwahi district on East Maui extends from sea level to about 6800 feet (1790 meters) elevation at the southwest rift of leeward Haleakal¯a volcano. In botanical references, Auwahi currently refers to a centrally located, fairly large (5400 acres) stand of diverse dry forest at 3000-5000 feet (915- 1525 meters) elevation surrounded by less diverse forest and more open-statured shrubland on lava. Auwahi contains high native tree diversity with 50 dryland species, many with extremely hard, durable, and heavy wood. To early Hawaiians, forests like Auwahi must have seemed an invaluable source of unique natural materials, especially the wide variety of woods for tool making for agriculture and fishing, canoe building, kapa making, and weapons. Of the 50 species of native trees at Auwahi, 19 species (38%) are known to have been used for medicine, 13 species (26%) for tool-making, 13 species (26%) for canoe building 13 species (26%) for house building, 8 species (16%) for tools for making kapa, 8 species (16%) for weapons 8 species (16%) for fishing, 8 species (16%) for dyes, and 7 species (14 %) for religious purposes. Other miscellaneous uses include edible fruits or seeds, bird lime, cordage, a fish narcotizing agent, firewood, a source of "fireworks", recreation, scenting agents, poi boards, and h¯olua sled construction.
