  • Mulligan Hill Has an Expansive Vantage of the Imposing Sandstone
    Mulligan Hill has an expansive vantage of the imposing sandstone mountain that gives the lodge its name, the cinematically rugged landscape, Lake Geraldine below and the abandoned mining township of Mount Mulligan. As the sky glows like an ember at sunset and the ridges of the escarpment come alive, finish the day in solitude with a gourmet cheeseboard and a chilled sundowner … or two. Away from the bright lights of civilisation, the stars sparkle like diamonds from the inky darkness in the outback! Our exclusive ‘Dark Skies’ astronomy experience allows guests to view a dazzling display of colourful star clusters, interstellar clouds, neighbouring galaxies and the Milky Way through a telescope with the narration of a personal star guide. Savour the brilliance of a glittering desert starscape with a dessert wine and gourmet cheese board to conclude the evening. Take a scenic helicopter flight over the star of the show Mount Mulligan (Ngarrabullgan). Best seen from the sky, nothing quite prepares you for the scale and grandeur of this ancient mountain that’s embedded with cultural significance dating back 37,000 years. A natural wonder of the outback, the 18km-long conglomerate and sandstone escarpment is 10 times larger than Uluru (Ayers Rock) and some believe it is the birthplace of the Rainbow Serpent, creator of the world in indigenous mythology. Birdwatchers are spoilt for choice at Mount Mulligan with over 126 species of birds being recorded at the property. Many of the species are best observed at dawn, with the help of a Field Guide and a pair of binoculars, when they charm guests with their charismatic and colourful physiques and beautiful song.

  • A Revision of Boea (Gesneriaceae)
    EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF BOTANY Page1of 31 1 © Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2017) doi: 10.1017/S0960428617000336 A REVISION OF BOEA (GESNERIACEAE) C. Puglisi1,2 &D.J.Middleton1 The genus Boea Comm. ex Lam. is revised. Eleven species are recognised, including the new species Boea morobensis C.Puglisi. A key is provided, all names are typified, and the species are described. Keywords. Australia, Loxocarpinae, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, taxonomy, Waigeo. Introduction Boea Comm. ex Lam. was first described in 1785 by Lamarck, based on material collected and named, but not published, by Commerson. Boea was the first Old World genus with a twisted capsule to be described, and as such, became the genus to which many new Southeast Asian species with a similar fruit type were ascribed. Most of these species are now assigned to a number of genera that have been distinguished from Boea (Puglisi et al., 2016). The correct spelling of the genus name has been rather problematic. In the protologue (Lamarck, 1785), the genus is written ‘Bœa’, but this appears to have been interpreted as ‘Bæa’ in the index of the same work. Although Lamarck gives no etymology, an annotation in an unknown hand on the Geneva duplicate of the type collection suggests that the genus is named for a Mlle Beau, the niece of a clergyman friend of Commerson. She is presumed to be the Mlle Beau who became Commerson’s wife. Clarke (1883) suggests that the genus name derives from a M. le Beau, Commerson’s wife’s brother, and that Commerson spelled the genus name ‘Bea’.

  • A Preliminary Study of the Genus Radula from Queensland, Australia
    Journ. Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 62,' 191-200 (June 1987) A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE GENUS RADULA FROM QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA KOHSAKU Y AMADA 1 Twenty-two species of the genus Radula have been recorded in the literature from Australia (induding Tasmania) by Hampe (1838), Stephani (1884, 1889, 1910), Castle (1963, 1964, 1967), Yamada (1979, 1982, 1984), and Windolf (1985). Eleven are en­ demic to Australia: Radula australiana, R . compacta, R. hicksiae, R. jovetiana, R. novae-hollandiae, R. ocellata, R. patens, R. pulchella, R. rathokowskiana, R. tasmanica, and R. wattsiana. However, most of them are known only in the southeastern part of Australia, such as New South Wales, and Tasmania. The Radula flora of Queensland has not been studied adequately, even though in recent years Yamada (1984) has re­ ported 9 species (induding 3 new species). Recently I had an opportunity to study many collections of Radula from Que­ ensland made by Dr. I. G. Stone, Dr. H. Streimann, Dr. B. M. Thiers, and Dr. M. 1. Hicks. In the present paper, I recognize 18 species, of which 2 species are new to science. I wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr. G. A. M. Se ott of Monash University (Aus­ tralia), Dr. M. L. Hicks of Appalachian State University (North Carolina), Dr. H. Streimann of Canberra Botanic Gardens (Canberra), and Dr. B. M. Thiers of The New York Botanical Garden (New York), for the loan of Radula specimens. Thanks are also due to Dr. S. Hattori of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory for his critical advice, and to Dr. A.
