H awkeswood , James R. Turner and Richard W. Wells Abstract: New larval host plant records and further biological data are recorded for the large and distinctive Australian longicorn beetle,Agrianome spinicollis (Macleay) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The presently known larval host plants are listed and original references cited. The adults are not known to feed and no data on adult hosts have ever been recorded. The suite of published larval host plants indicate that rainforest as well as woodland and sclerophyll forest communities are inhabited by this beetle. SinceAgrianome species are primitive cerambycids, it is suggested here that A.spinicollis originated (evolved first) in rainforest and as the Australian continental landmass dried out climatically, and sclerophylly evolved, the beetle adapted to plants belonging to these new plant communities. Zusammenfassung : Neufeststellungen von Wirtspflanzen der Larven und überdies biologische Daten für den großen, erhabenen australischen BockkäferAgrianome spinicollis (Macleay) (Coleoptera: Cerambyci­ dae) werden mitgeteilt.

  • Brachychiton Discolor Lacebark
    Plant of the Week Brachychiton discolor Lacebark In late spring and early summer, Sydney is blessed with flowering trees: mauve blue Jacarandas, scarlet Illawarra Flame Trees and golden Silky Oaks. The Lacebark (Brachychiton discolor) also flowers at this time of year but somehow we often miss the lovely dusky pink and brown flowers of this most elegant of Australian trees. The Lacebark is closely related to the Illawarra Flame (Brachychiton acerifolius), Kurrajong (B. populneus) and the Queensland Bottle Tree (B. rupestris), all of which are now included in the plant family Malvaceae although until recently, were included in the Sterculiaceae, a family of tropical and subtropical distribution. Lacebarks can be found in rainforests along the coast and ranges of eastern Australia, from Paterson in northern NSW, to Mackay in North Queensland. There is also an isolated community on Cape York Peninsula1. They are very popular as garden plants as they don’t grow too tall, can cope with a wide range of soils and can survive hot and dry conditions. They drop their leaves just once a year prior to flowering and it is then that you notice the striking contrast between their straight round trunks and unusual branching architecture which is so very different from that of eucalypts with which we are more familiar. 1Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachychiton_discolor Map modified from Australia’s Virtual Herbarium: http://www.chah.gov.au/avh/avhServlet Text and photographs: Alison Downing & Kevin Downing, 19.11.2011 Downing Herbarium, Department of Biological Sciences .

  • The Geranium Family, Geraniaceae, and the Mallow Family, Malvaceae
    THE GERANIUM FAMILY, GERANIACEAE, AND THE MALLOW FAMILY, MALVACEAE TWO SOMETIMES CONFUSED FAMILIES PROMINENT IN SOME MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE AREAS The Geraniaceae is a family of herbaceous plants or small shrubs, sometimes with succulent stems • The family is noted for its often palmately veined and lobed leaves, although some also have pinnately divided leaves • The leaves all have pairs of stipules at their base • The flowers may be regular and symmetrical or somewhat irregular • The floral plan is 5 separate sepals and petals, 5 or 10 stamens, and a superior ovary • The most distinctive feature is the beak of fused styles on top of the ovary Here you see a typical geranium flower This nonnative weedy geranium shows the styles forming a beak The geranium family is also noted for its seed dispersal • The styles either actively eject the seeds from each compartment of the ovary or… • They twist and embed themselves in clothing and fur to hitch a ride • The Geraniaceae is prominent in the Mediterranean Basin and the Cape Province of South Africa • It is also found in California but few species here are drought tolerant • California does have several introduced weedy members Here you see a geranium flinging the seeds from sections of the ovary when the styles curl up Three genera typify the Geraniaceae: Erodium, Geranium, and Pelargonium • Erodiums (common name filaree or clocks) typically have pinnately veined, sometimes dissected leaves; many species are weeds in California • Geraniums (that is, the true geraniums) typically have palmately veined leaves and perfectly symmetrical flowers. Most are herbaceous annuals or perennials • Pelargoniums (the so-called garden geraniums or storksbills) have asymmetrical flowers and range from perennials to succulents to shrubs The weedy filaree, Erodium cicutarium, produces small pink-purple flowers in California’s spring grasslands Here are the beaked unripe fruits of filaree Many of the perennial erodiums from the Mediterranean make well-behaved ground covers for California gardens Here are the flowers of the charming E.

  • Full Significant Tree List
    Trees not on Significant Tree Register Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 42 French St, front garden The Lilypilly has been widely planted from the nineteenth century through to the present day often as a wind break and hedge. The specimen in the front garden of 42 French Street is impressive in size and most likely remains from an earlier larger garden. There are many specimens of Lilypilly planted around Hamilton. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 9 Gray St, front garden Older planting which was originally part of the garden at 13 Gray Street. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Aesculus hippocastanum, Horse Chestnut - Melville Oval, Thompson St side near water fountain. The Horse Chestnut is not very widely planted throughout Victoria although a very popular tree throughout Europe. It is best in the cooler climates of the Dandenong and Mt Macedon ranges. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: This is the only specimen found in Hamilton and therefore of local interest. Araucaria heterophylla, Norfolk Island Pine - 13 Gray St, front garden Araucarias have been popular in Victoria from the mid- nineteenth century to the present time producing a distinct form in the landscape. The large specimen here remains from the original garden and was probably planted about 1904 and is one of two large specimens in the Church Hill area. The other, identical in size, was planted at 31 Gray St, apparently the home of a member of the same family. Both trees are excellent examples of the species and have become landmarks in the Church Hill area.

Willow trees in the Eastern States waterways that were previously thought to spread only from broken branches are now spreading through seedlings as well. Deciduous trees have been widely planted Hybrid species are common, and are often much more vigorous than the parent species (Cremer 1999). in many parts of Australia, both as river The threat to water quality is much greater and more bank stabilisers and for their attractive immediate. There is an increasing trend for landscapers of ‘European’ appearance. Unfortunately, new housing estates to plant deciduous trees throughout the deciduous trees are not suited to the subdivision, leading to a large increase in organic matter Australian environment in many ways. In entering drainage systems and waterways in late autumn/early winter. the Eastern States, willows in particular have become aggressive weeds spreading along streamlines. They can cause blockage of rivers and streams, excessive eutrophication and displacement of native flora and fauna. An extensive campaign is now underway in the Eastern States to control the problem. Deciduous trees in Western Australia In Western Australia, a wide variety of deciduous trees have been planted, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Commonly planted trees include the following: Weeping Willows along the Brunswick River.

MEA CULPA: My apol~gi~sonce again for a belated newsletter. This time I'll blame the weather ; a year of drought until Feb. 28th.) then a month of rain every day. As I'm not on town (reticulated) water, and my creek dried up Tor the second time in 13 years, watering involved rationing small amounts of bought (by the truckload) water to my 500-odd pots {I'm a compulsive propagator}. Then the rain brought up 2 years supply of weeds. And then I lost the first version of this 4 newsletter when my computer's hard disc died. MEMBERSHIP: I'm not sure whether some people want to be in this study group. If I do know, a tick will follow the questio mark on the line below: 9- P - - J If there is no tick, please advise if you want to be in' the group. Our financial year ends June 30th. Sub remains at $5. Next newsletter should be in early July. Welcome to new Qld. members Merv Hodqe, Albert Grilanc, Jan Glazebrook, Dennis Cox, & Joy & Fred McKew. All have joined only recently, so their subs I'll take as paid for '94-'95. BRACHYCHITON DISTRIBUTION MAPS: I have omitted these for those people who I know have copies of Guymer's article from which they were taken. t LIVING PLANT COLLECTION: As usual, a month of hot humidity killed all my Thomasias save one small-leaved species, which looks fine.
