  • Bardi Plants an Annotated List of Plants and Their Use
    H.,c H'cst. /lust JIus lH8f), 12 (:J): :317-:359 BanE Plants: An Annotated List of Plants and Their Use by the Bardi Aborigines of Dampierland, in North-western Australia \!o\a Smith and .\rpad C. Kalotast Abstract This paper presents a descriptive list of the plants identified and used by the BarcE .\borigines of the Dampierland Peninsula, north~\q:stern Australia. It is not exhaust~ ive. The information is presented in two wavs. First is an alphabetical list of Bardi names including genera and species, use, collection number and references. Second is a list arranged alphabetically according to botanical genera and species, and including family and Bardi name. Previous ethnographic research in the region, vegetation communities and aspects of seasonality (I) and taxonomy arc des~ cribed in the Introduction. Introduction At the time of European colonisation of the south~west Kimberley in the mid­ nineteenth century, the Bardi Aborigines occupied the northern tip of the Dam­ pierland Peninsula. To their east lived the island-dwelling Djawi and to the south, the ~yulnyul. Traditionally, Bardi land ownership was based on identification with a particular named huru, translated as home, earth, ground or country. Forty-six bum have been identified (Robinson 1979: 189), and individually they were owned by members of a family tracing their ownership patrilineally, and known by the bum name. Collectively, the buru fall into four regions with names which are roughly equivalent to directions: South: Olonggong; North-west: Culargon; ~orth: Adiol and East: Baniol (Figure 1). These four directional terms bear a superficial resemblance to mainland subsection kinship patterns, in that people sometimes refer to themselves according to the direction in which their land lies, and indeed 'there are.

  • Dear Metnkrs
    ISeJ 10354638 ~mOFSOCIE;TIESm~~mAMS ACACIA~eWXlP~No.73- FEBRLlARY 1995 Dear Metnkrs, The 18th Biennial ASGAP Conference is at Ballarat on 23-30 September this year and as this is only a couple of hours drive away I hope to meet sane Acacia Study -up rnmcers there. I'm not sure yet which days or for how long I will be attenciing but I hope it will be for several days at least. Perhaps at sane stage Acacia Qoup members &nay be able to arrange an informal get together. If you ate attending perhaps you would like to help with the Study Group Display on the evening of Tuesday 26th. If so please let me !-am. It has been suggested that sane enlarged photos of Acacias be obtained and laminated for this and future displays. I have not got around to sarting out slides far this but if you have any very qccd slides or negatives of acacias growing in containers, cultivation (garden, park ar in xalsettings) wh.ich you muld allow the group to use please forward then far consideration (by the end of March), Forward and return postage will be paid by the -up. Close up photos of interesting aspects (e.g. seeds, leaves, flowers etc. 1 of acacias are also required, Slides to hand have enough good shots of plant farm etc. Bruce mlin (see below) has sent news of the future publication of the Acacia ~lmesof the "Flora of Australia" series. mis will give a treatment of all known species although I note new species of Eucalypts have been described since the publication of the volume on that genus.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups.

  • Biodiversity Summary: Rangelands, Western Australia
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA.

Alzandi* Copyright Department of Biology, Al-Baha University, Saudi Arabia © 2018 Alzandi Abstract OPEN ACCESS Three species of Acacia (A .gerrardii, A. oerfota and A. origena) were evaluated Keywords for their ecophysiological behavior characteristics. Succulent, pigments contents, • Acacia minerals and some metabolic products were determined. The obtained data clearly • Succulence showed highest value of succulent (9.6%) in case of A. gerrardii. Concerning pigments • Pigments contents, current investigation revealed high contents of both chlorophyll a (1.72) mg/g • Minerals fresh weight and carotenoids (0.67) mg/g fresh weight in A. gerrardii as compared • Carbohydrates to the other two species. The obtained data recorded high content in chlorophyll b • Proteins (1.36) mg/g fresh weight in A. oerfota as compared to other species. With regard • Lipids to mineral composition, the obtained data show that the highest mineral percent was Calcium (3.8%) which detected in A. gerrardii followed by Potassium and Magnesium. Generally, A. gerrardii recorded highest percentages of all detected minerals. As regard to metabolic products, A. origena shows highest contents of total carbohydrates (46.47%) as well as total lipids (4.83%) as compared to the other species, while the highest crude protein value (34.77%) was recorded in A.
