Clive's Comments Tubestock Trader April 2019 Choisya ternata Clive’s Comments Middle of Autumn and I am sitting in the café at Bridestowe Lavender in northern Tasmania. We have just completed our week of visiting Tasmanian Lavandula angustifolia 'Pacific Lavandula dentata Lavandula x intermedia customers and the bi-annual Australian Lavender Blue' 'Pure Harmony' 'Grosso' Growers Conference. This was held at Port Arthur Lavender Farm in Port Arthur. It has been a great week meeting all sorts of growers and farmers and reminds me of the diversity of Australian Horticulture. Lavender is a romantic herb, which is loved by people all over the world. We have been collecting and breeding lavender for 25 years and have a thorough understanding of the plant. We have been consulting to the farmers for 20 years and have seen the ups and downs of the industry over this time. In the early days it consisted of mature couples with a redundancy or retirement package and a desire to farm lavender. The same time, they were also looking at emu farms, alpaca breeding and so-on. Over the last year or two there has been a resurgence in lavender with serious farmers coming to the nursery. People wanting to do 50 plus acres and wholesale the product or produce their own range of cosmetics etc. Interestingly for a plant with 1,000 years of commercialisation there has been virtually no targeted breeding (excluding the ornamentals) for improved yield, quality or appearance. We did some in conjunction with Charles Sturt University in 2003 and these plants are just now finding a place in the industry. At the conference we had a talk by Angus Stewart on breeding of Tasmanian natives for oil. He is working on plants like Kunzea ambigua and...

Plants are arranged alphabetically within families. Hyperlinks are provided for quick access to historical material found on-line. Attention is drawn (in the green boxes below the species accounts) to some features which may help identification or may interest the reader, but these are by no means diagnostic. Where technical terms are used, these are explained in parenthesis. The ultimate on-line authority on the Western Australian flora is FloraBase. It provides the most up-to-date nomenclature, details of subspecies, flowering periods and distribution maps. Please use this guide in conjunction with FloraBase. Part 2 — POSTS AND PLATES provides short historical accounts of some the people involved in erecting and removing posts and plates on Dirk Hartog Island between 1616 and 1907, and those who may have collected plants on the island during their visit. Home FLOWERS PHOTOGRAPHS REFERENCES BIRD LIST Home Flower Photos The plants are presented in alphabetical order within plant families - this is so that plants that are closely related to one another will be grouped together on nearby pages. All of the family names and genus names are given at the top of each page and are also listed in an index.

  • Comparative Study on Different Methods for Lonicera Japonica Thunb. Micropropagation and Acclimatization
    Journal of Medicinal Plants Research Vol. 6(27), pp. 4389-4393, 18 July, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/JMPR DOI: 10.5897/JMPR11.1715 ISSN 1996-0875 ©2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Comparative study on different methods for Lonicera japonica Thunb. micropropagation and acclimatization Jiang Xiang Hui1,2, She Chao Wen2, Zhu Yong Hua1 and Liu Xuan Ming1* 1Bioenergy and Biomaterial Research Center, College of Biology; State Key Laboratory of Chemo/Biosensing and Chemometrics, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, Hunan, China. 2Department of Life Science, Huaihua University, Huaihua, Hunan 418008, China. Accepted 1 February, 2012 In this study, we reported the establishment of a simple protocol for the micropropagation and acclimatization of Lonicera japonica Thunb. Branches with dormant buds were collected from mature L. japonica and sprouted in a greenhouse. Tip and node segments were used as starting material for in vitro proliferation in woody plant medium (WPM). In the first assay in which explants from five different species of Lonicera were used, 95.0% of the tip segments produced new axillary shoots, thus proving to be the best explant type. Afterwards, material from L. japonica Thunb. was used to test for plant growth regulator (PGR) combination. Shoots from L. japonica were used to assay in vitro rooting using six different WPM media. Rooting percentages were high for all media and varied between 83 and 95%. For acclimatization, two approaches were assayed: the use of previously rooted in vitro plants and the direct acclimatization of shoots. After five weeks, 95.0% of the in vitro rooted plants were successfully acclimatized and 88.7%, was attained by direct acclimatization of shoots with two years shoot immersed in GA3 solution.

  • Devon Hedges at Home: the Benefits of a Garden Hedge
    Devon hedges at home: the benefits of a garden hedge The best formal hedges are those using either beech or hornbeam. Both thrive in a wide variety of soils, grow quickly and make a dense, very twiggy hedge. An added advantage is they retain their coppery-brown leaves through the winter, so don't look too bare. However, apart from providing shelter and nesting sites they are of limited value to wildlife - acceptable if you just want a plain green wall that goes brown in winter. Garden hedges can be attractive and rich in wildlife, and make effective living fences. ©John Whetman A hedge can be quite an informal feature and using a mixture of native species results Hedges provide an attractive and colourful in a strong boundary that provides a range living screen or barrier for the garden: they of colours, flowers and fruit over the year, don't rot, need painting or blow over in a gale. keeping the householder in touch with the Careful choice of species will provide seasons and benefiting wildlife. excellent wildlife habitat.
