Karkalla Carpobrotus Rossii
Plant of the month: Karkalla Carpobrotus rossii Karkalla Carpobrotus rossii is a succulent trailing plant with stems up to 3 metres long, growing as a front-line coastal species from Western Australia to Victoria and Tasmania. The grey-green leaves to 10 cm long are triangular in cross-section, with two sides longer than the third, a feature distinguishing the native plant from the two introduced species described below. Profuse purple flowers occur on short stems, to 5 cm across, shading to white at the base occur most of the year. The reddish-purple fruits are fleshy and globular, resembling small figs. The two weed species, Angled Pigface C. aequilaterus from South America has leaves with equal sides and similar flowers with paler but not white bases, and Hottentot Fig C. edulis from South Africa has leaves with two sides shorter than the third and larger yellow flowers fading to pink with age. Karkalla grows in well drained sandy soil, in full sun or semi-shade, from the coastal dunes to Coast Banksia Woodland. It makes a colourful ground display and is a useful soil binder and fire retardant species. Aborigines ate the fresh or dried fruits and the succulent, salty leaves. It can be propagated from seed or cuttings. Karkalla belongs in the Aizoaceae family of plants with fleshy leaves and fruit. The genus name Carpobrotus comes from the Greek ‘karpos’ fruit and ‘brotus’ edible. The species name is after W. Ross, 1850-1914, a teacher at Bathurst Technical College.

It includes the correct nomenclature and authorship of the taxon’s name, as well as the reference of its original publication. According to this Census, the Tasmanian flora contains 2726 vascular plants, of which 1920 (70%) are considered native and 808 (30%) have naturalised from elsewhere. Among the native taxa, 533 (28%) are endemic to the State. Forty-eight of the State’s exotic taxa are considered sparingly naturalised, and are known only from a small number of populations. Twenty-three native taxa are recognised as extinct, whereas eight naturalised taxa are considered to have either not persisted in Tasmania or have been eradicated.

Site specific species list can be used as a starting point for monitoring the plants of particular saltmarsh sites by recording the presence and absence of species. This could be done through a ‘bio-blitz’ conducted during the warmer months (when most species are in flower and are easier to identify) once every few years. These data will help improve our understanding of the Statewide distribution of saltmarsh plants, their ecology and biogeography (relating distribution data to local and regional environmental factors). When these data are collected over a long term (over decades), they can also indicate species-range shifts that occur as a consequence of climate change.

Coastal Garden Plants Brochure
Introduction This brochure is an indication of some of the native plants found in the dunes of the City of Charles Sturt. It is not an exhaustive list, but contains representative plants that fill different niches; groundcovers, climbers, small and large shrubs. The plants selected are well adapted to their environment (low maintenance/drought tolerant) and are recommended as garden plants along the coastal strip. This information has been adapted from Vegetation Management Plans that have been completed for the City of Charles Sturt by the Department for Environment and Heritage. These plans are all available on Council’s website http://www.charlessturt.sa.gov.au For further information please contact the City of Charles Sturt NRM Officer on8408 1111.

Coastal Weeds of Tasmania
COASTAL WEEDS OF TASMANIA are you growing invaders? In the past 30 years at least 35% of all plants that have become environmental weeds in Tasmania were deliberately introduced as garden plants! A Guide to Coastal and Environmental Weeds of Tasmania What are environmental weeds? Environmental weeds are non-local plants that invade and change our coasts and threaten the survival of native plants and animals. Where do they come from? Environmental Weeds can come from all over the world. They can even be Australian native plants outside their natural range. These out-of-place natives can be as devastating as foreign plants. Environmental weeds can out-compete natives and reduce biodiversity. In the past 30 years at least 35% of all plants that have become environmental weeds in Tasmania were deliberately introduced as garden plants! Environmental weeds, spread by wind, birds or dumped garden waste, can take over natural coastal and bush areas. Weeds can also be spread by boots, vehicles, contaminated soil, mud, gravel, agricultural produce, stock and feed. Why should we do anything? Environmental weeds need to be eradicated because they: ● take over huge areas of natural coast & bushland (broom, gorse) ● replace habitat for native animals (blackberries, sea spurge) ● change the way the coast works (marram, sea wheat-grass) ● change the shape and ecology of waterways (willows) ● hinder the regrowth of natives (Spanish heath, gorse, boneseed) ● restrict access (blackberries, African boxthorn) ● can be a danger to human health (arum lilies, ivy, foxglove) What will happen if we don’t do anything? Tasmania is lucky to still have many areas of natural beauty worth protecting.
