[email protected] Abstract: The 80 paintings of Australian flora, fauna and landscapes by English artist Marianne North (1830-1890), completed during her travels in 1880–1881, provide a record of the Australian environment rarely presented by artists at that time. In the words of her mentor Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, director of Kew Gardens, North’s objective was to capture landscapes that were ‘doomed shortly to disappear before the axe and the forest fires, the plough and the flock, or the ever advancing settler or colonist’. In addition to her paintings, North wrote books recollecting her travels, in which she presented her observations and explained the relevance of her paintings, within the principles of a ‘Darwinian vision,’ and inevitable and rapid environmental change. By examining her paintings and writings together, North’s works provide a documented narrative of the state of the Australian environment in the late nineteenth- century, filtered through the themes of personal botanical discovery, colonial expansion and British imperialism.

    State-wide seed conservation strategy for threatened species, threatened communities and biodiversity hotspots Project 033146a Final Report South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. and Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust July 2008 Prepared by Anne Cochrane Threatened Flora Seed Centre Department of Environment and Conservation Western Australian Herbarium Kensington Western Australia 6983 Summary In 2005 the South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. secured regional competitive component funding from the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust for a three-year project for the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) to coordinate seed conservation activities for listed threatened species and ecological communities and for Commonwealth identified national biodiversity hotspots in Western Australia (Project 033146). This project implemented an integrated and consistent approach to collecting seeds of threatened and other flora across all regions in Western Australia. The project expanded existing seed conservation activities thereby contributing to Western Australian plant conservation and recovery programs. The primary goal of the project was to increase the level of protection of native flora by obtaining seeds for long term conservation of 300 species. The project was successful and 571 collections were made. The project achieved its goals by using existing skills, data, centralised seed banking facilities and international partnerships that the DEC’s Threatened Flora Seed Centre already had in place. In addition to storage of seeds at the Threatened Flora Seed Centre, 199 duplicate samples were dispatched under a global seed conservation partnership to the Millennium Seed Bank in the UK for further safe-keeping. Herbarium voucher specimens for each collection have been lodged with the State herbarium in Perth, Western Australia.

This Plan should be cited as follows: Department of Environment and Conservation, (2012). Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan: A Landscape Approach to Threatened Species and Ecological Communities Recovery and Biodiversity Conservation, Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation, Albany. Cover photos: top left – Eucalyptus nutans (Sarah Barrett) top middle – Western Ground Parrot (Brent Barrett) top right – Eucalyptus burdettiana (Sarah Barrett) bottom – Fitzgerald River National Park (Sarah Comer) Department of Environment and Conservation South Coast Region 120 Albany Highway Albany WA 6330. FORWARD This Fitzgerald Biosphere Recovery Plan constitutes the formal national regional recovery plan for 11 flora species and provides recovery guidance for the remaining species and ecological communities largely endemic to the Fitzgerald Biosphere on the south coast of Western Australia that are listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The Fitzgerald River National Park (FRNP) was designated a Biosphere Reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme in 1978, and is recognised for its relatively pristine state and high biological diversity, especially its flora. For the purpose of this plan, the term ‘Fitzgerald Biosphere’ or ‘Biosphere’ refers to the combination of the core Biosphere area as recognised by MAB and the buffer and transition zones as defined by catchment boundaries as shown in figure 1.

    ‘A taste for botanic science’: Ferdinand Mueller’s female collectors and the history of Australian botany Sara Maroske Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, South Yarra, Victoria 3141, Australia Abstract Introduction In 1884, Ferdinand Mueller, In 1884, Ferdinand Mueller, Government Botanist of Victoria, told his New Government Botanist of Victoria, South Wales based collector, Mary Bate, ‘You are one of the very few Ladies told his collector Mary Bate that in all Australia, who have any taste for botanic science, in contrast to what she was ‘one of the very few’ women in Australia interested in is observed in all Europe and North America’ (L84.07.20). Mueller made this botany in contrast to the situation remark during a period in the Western world when the study of natural in Europe and North America. history had opened up to the general population, and the study of botany, This proposition is assessed using in particular, was possible for girls and women (Watts 2007). Nevertheless, Maroske and Vaughan’s biographical in opining the relative lack of enthusiasm Australian women had for his register (2014), which identifies 225 of Mueller’s female collectors, favourite science, Mueller was also playing an active part in overcoming it. and outlines their contribution to His letter to Bate was in fact a persuasive, intended to encourage this young Australian botany.
