News from the Nursery We are madly propagating at the moment, with many thousands of new cuttings putting their roots out and seedlings popping their heads up above the propagating mix. It is always an exciting time, as we experiment with seed from new species – sometimes they work, and sometimes we understand why we’ve never grown them before... New plants should start being put out into the sales area soon – fresh-faced little things ready to pop into the ground! We have recently purchased a further block of land from the ex-neighbours Jubilee Nursery, now sadly closed, that will give us a lot more flexibility and the ability to grow and store more plants. As mentioned last newsletter we have done some major revamping in the garden. A lot of work by all the staff has led to a much more open garden with a lovely Westringia brevifolia hedge (well, it will be a hedge when it grows a bit), another Micrantheum hexandrum Cream Cascade hedge-to-be, lots of Correas, Lomatias and Baueras. Where we sell a few forms of a particular species we have tried to plant examples of each so that we can show you what they are like.

  • Newsletter No. 308– June 2015
    Newsletter No. 308– June 2015 PLANT NAMING AND STRUCTURE by Matt, Frank and Roger As I was away working for the May meeting, I am very grateful to Phillip Royce for this report. Three venerable members tackled the important but potentially awkward topic of naming plants and important features of their structures. Regrettably for them, and their audience, the laptop didn't connect to the projector and so an old-fashioned Q&A was the order of the night. During the course of the talk Matt, Roger and Frank encouraged us all to get more familiar with the botanical language that is used in the plant naming system and the descriptors of plants, flowers, fruit and leaves. A snapshot of their talk is below: The Swedish botanist, Linnaeus, lies at the heart of the modern binomial system of naming plants eg. Hakea laurina. The first name is the Genus the plant is in, and the second name is the particular species. The species name can come from many sources: the individual who found it, or a financier, or a member of Carl Linnaeus an expedition (Hibbertia banksii), or some-one's partner. Clues when plants are named after people There are four main groups of plants: Flowering are endings such as 'ianai, 'iae', 'ae' and 'ii'. The plants (angiosperms); conifers/pines (gymnosperms); species name could also be after the shape of the leaf mosses (bryophytes); and ferns (pteridophytes). All (Acacia glaucoptera) , or the colour of the flower Australian flowers have the same structures (Correa alba), or the location where they were associated with any other: petal, sepal, stamen (with collected (Eucalyptus yalatanensis - from Yalata in anther and filament), stigma, ovary.

  • Lomatia Tasmanica
    Lomatia tasmanica FAMILY: PROTEACEAE BOTANICAL NAME: Lomatia tasmanica, W.M.Curtis, Stud. Fl. Tasm. 3: 651 (1967) COMMON NAME: King’s lomatia COMMONWEALTH STATUS: (EPBC Act) Critically Endangered TASMANIAN STATUS: (TSP Act) endangered Lomatia tasmanica. A. Gray. Description A distinctive small tree, usually between 2-4 metres tall (sometimes up to 6-8 metres). This species is thin and spindly, usually branched at the top and may develop a leaning trunk with a few erect branches. The young stems and buds are densely covered in fine hairs. Lomatia tasmanica forms underground stems (rhizomes). Leaves: The leaves are green, shiny, shortly stalked, arranged alternately and crowded at the ends of the branches. They are either prickly-toothed or lobed and between 10-18 cm long and 2.5-4 cm broad (arranged like the barbs of a feather, with 7-10 pairs of stalkless leaflets). Flowers: The crimson flowers have yellow pollen sacs (anthers) and are arranged on stalks in succession along the stem (the oldest flower is usually at the base). They have 4 petal-like segments, hooded tips and are rather thick and fleshy. Fruit: Lomatia tasmanica is fascinating, as no fruit or seed has ever been found (both in wild specimens and those grown in the botanical gardens). Flowering has been observed to occur around January-February, however not annually. The population appears to be sustained by root suckering and coppice only (Lynch et al. 1998). Herbarium specimens have been collected from August to April. Distribution and Habitat This species is endemic to Tasmania and is restricted to Southwest Tasmania.

Tas. 7250 Noel Manning 6344 2277 Sept-Oct Northern Group Newsletter The beginning of spring is not just a busy time in our blossoming gardens but also in the Groups. This has been especially so as the Northern group this year was responsible for designing and bringing together all the elements of a superb stage display in addition to the usual booth at Blooming Tasmania Festival. The stage display was a one off task and for this I am sure the very busy committee was thankful. The display was magnificent: the culmination of meticulous planning and so much creative effort. Plants in pots graced the stage, covering categories from rainforest to coastal. Animals added to the striking backdrop and the plants, such as the Huon pines, man ferns etc. kindly lent for the display by Habitat nursery at Liffey. The booth area was informative with several photos featuring gardens from the 3 group regions. Some highlights were the native orchids massed in a pot, the colourful senses-grabbing posies and the single flower specimens in test tubes vases which drew in passersby. Final words from Louise who so admirably coordinated the whole project and then the packing up (on her birthday!) Over 30 members contributed to this APST Inc. event to promote our Society and native plants. Some members were on the hard working sub-committee; many provided plants or carted, installed and dismantled the stage display; some provided photos for the booth display or for the PP presentation or gave their time to provide flowers and make posies; others manned the booth over the weekend and let's not forget the papier-mâché rock creators! Thanks to all.

Front cover photo: Grass Trees (Xanthorrhoea australis) on Flinders Island infected with the Root-rot fungus. (Richard Schahinger, Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment) FOREWORD Australia is renowned for its rich biodiversity. Native vegetation is a rich and fundamental element of our natural heritage. Unfortunately the depletion and degradation of native vegetation communities threatens the long term health and productive capacity of many Australian landscapes. Factors such as land-clearing, grazing pressures and urban development are the human threats usually associated with declining areas of native vegetation, but another introduced but lesser known threat is the Phytophthora root rot fungus. Throughout Australia Phytophthora root rot (Phytophthora cinnamomi) has had devastating effects on open forests, woodlands and heathlands, spreading as far as the cool temperate rainforests of Tasmania. This pathogenic fungus causes the roots of susceptible plants to rot, in many cases killing the plants.

    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Tasmanian Wilderness - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Tasmanian Wilderness 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Australia Inscribed in: 1989 Criteria: (iii) (iv) (vi) (vii) (viii) (ix) (x) In a region that has been subjected to severe glaciation, these parks and reserves, with their steep gorges, covering an area of over 1 million ha, constitute one of the last expanses of temperate rainforest in the world. Remains found in limestone caves attest to the human occupation of the area for more than 20,000 years. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 GOOD WITH SOME CONCERNS There have been competing land and resource interests at all times along the boundaries of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage site since inscription. Such competing interests have accompanied the various extensions in 1989 and more recently in 2010, 2012 and 2013. However, it is important to recall that the World Heritage Committee approved all these extensions brought forward by the State Party. These additional areas have consolidated the Outstanding Universal Value of the site. Even though the World Heritage site is in a privileged position due to its vast scale, active management, very limited access and harsh environmental conditions, it faces ongoing current and future threats. These include adequate and reliable resourcing, including for monitoring, commercial tourism interests and biosecurity risks and threats in the broadest sense. Climate change is an overarching concern and has plausibly been linked to already observable changes in fire frequency and intensity. These could pose significant threats to ancient (and other significant) life forms and landscapes that have been created, modified and managed by long term Aboriginal fire management and that form some of the key attributes of the World Heritage site.
