Philotheca Ericifolia (A
NSW SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Philotheca ericifolia (A. Cunn. ex Endl.) Paul G. Wilson (Rutaceae) Review of Current Information in NSW June 2008 Current status: Philotheca ericifolia is currently listed as Vulnerable under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The NSW Scientific Committee recently determined that Philotheca ericifolia does not meet criteria for listing in NSW under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act), based on information contained in this report and other information available for the species. Species description: Weston and Harden (2002, p. 294) describe Philotheca ericifolia as follows: “Spreading shrub 1- 2 m high; stems sparsely glandular-warty, finely pubescent. Leaves needle-like, 4-8 mm long, about 0.5 mm wide, narrow-grooved above, sparsely glandular-punctate, glabrous or sparsely and finely pubescent; petiole short, stipules small, black. Flowers 1-6 in sessile clusters; pedicels 2-5 mm long, minutely bracteolate at base. Petals elliptic, about 9 mm long, purple to pink, glandular warty, slightly white-tomentose inside and on outside except for thick glandular midrib. Stamens free; filaments pilose; anthers glabrous. Cocci erect, about 5 mm long, abruptly attenuate into a subulate pilose apex.” Taxonomy: Philotheca ericifolia was originally described under the name Eriostemon ericifolius (Bentham 1863-78). With the taxonomic review of the genera Philotheca and Eriostemon, the majority of species in the latter genus were transferred to Philotheca (Wilson 1998). The species is very similar to some forms of Philotheca salsolifolia, from which it may be distinguished apart from staminal characters by the narrow-triangular sepals. Philotheca ericifolia also has similarities with Eriostemon difformis, from which it may be distinguished by the acicular leaves (Wilson 1970).

The 1770 Landscape of Botany Bay, the Plants Collected by Banks and Solander and Rehabilitation of Natural Vegetation at Kurnell
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Backdrop to encounter: the 1770 landscape of Botany Bay, the plants collected by Banks and Solander and rehabilitation of natural vegetation at Kurnell Doug Benson1 and Georgina Eldershaw2 1Botanic Gardens Trust, Mrs Macquaries Rd Sydney 2000 AUSTRALIA email [email protected] 2Parks & Wildlife Division, Dept of Environment and Conservation (NSW), PO Box 375 Kurnell NSW 2231 AUSTRALIA email [email protected] Abstract: The first scientific observations on the flora of eastern Australia were made at Botany Bay in April–May 1770. We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km south of central Sydney), as described in the journals of Lieutenant James Cook and Joseph Banks on the Endeavour voyage in 1770. We list 132 plant species that were collected at Botany Bay by Banks and Daniel Solander, the first scientific collections of Australian flora. The list is based on a critical assessment of unpublished lists compiled by authors who had access to the collection of the British Museum (now Natural History Museum), together with species from material at National Herbarium of New South Wales that has not been previously available. The list includes Bidens pilosa which has been previously regarded as an introduced species. In 1770 the Europeans set foot on Aboriginal land of the Dharawal people. Since that time the landscape has been altered in response to a succession of different land-uses; farming and grazing, commemorative tree planting, parkland planting, and pleasure ground and tourist visitation.

Geographic Variation in Crowea Exalata (Rutaceae) and the Recognition of Two New Subspecies
Telopea 12(2) 193–213 Geographic variation in Crowea exalata (Rutaceae) and the recognition of two new subspecies Wayne A. Gebert1 and Marco F. Duretto2 1 National Herbarium of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Private Bag 2000, South Yarra, VIC, 3141, Australia 2 Tasmanian Herbarium, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Private Bag 4, Hobart, TAS, 7001, Australia Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Crowea exalata F.Muell. was sampled throughout its morphological and geographical range to test the validity of the current circumscription of the species and subspecies. Through numerical analysis of morphological and chemical (leaf flavonoids and volatile oils) data four taxa are recognised, subsp. exalata, subsp. revoluta Paul G.Wilson, subsp. magnifolia Gebert subsp. nov. and subsp. obcordata Gebert subsp. nov. Descriptions and a key to all taxa are provided. Introduction Crowea Sm. (Rutaceae) is an Australian genus of three species that was first described by J.E. Smith and named in honour of James Crowe esq. F.L.S. (Smith 1798, 1808). Smith, however, was not one to give specific epithets to species of monotypic genera, and in the case of Crowea this was done by Andrews (1800) when he described C. saligna Andrews (see Wilson 1970). Members of Crowea are multi-stemmed, erect, evergreen, woody perennials to 2 m tall with white to rose pink, solitary, axillary flowers. Probably the closest relative to Crowea is Eriostemon Sm. (Bayly et al. 1998; Wilson 1998). Eriostemon contains two species, E. australasius Pers. and E. banksii A.Cunn. ex Endl. Eriostemon australasius is often found in sympatry with C.

Pink Wax Flower
Eriostemon australasius Pink Wax Flower Nothing heralds the arrival of Spring in Sydney bushland better than the glorious pink flowers of Eriostemon, the Pink Wax flower and its close relations, the Boronias. This lovely shrub is not only common on sandstone ridges around Sydney but grows in heath, woodland and forests along the coast from Lake Conjola south of Wollongong to Fraser Island in south-eastern Queensland. Until relatively recently, there were many species recognised as Eriostemon. However, most of these have now been transferred to the genus Philotheca, initially leaving only two species, E. australsius and a second species, E. banksii which grows on the northern tip of Cape York in far north Queensland. But now it appears that E. banksii has been reclassified as merely a sub-species, in other words, E. australasius subsp. banksii. E. australasius was the first Eriostemon to be described by botanists, so this species is known as the type species. Eriostemon belongs in the plant family Rutaceae, characteristically trees and Eriostemon australasius shrubs with conspicuous oil subsp. banksii glands in the leaves. Crush a leaf and take a sniff – this Eriostemon australasius fragrance is loved by some, subsp. australasius loathed by others! For Sydneysiders, it always brings back childhood memories of the Sydney bush. The family has Gondwanan origins, although now widespread throughout tropical and temperate regions of the world. Probably the best known Rutaceae are the citrus fruit (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, mandarins). Don't confuse Eriostemon with Boronia: the former has five petals, the latter only four. There is another trap for the unwary too.

Introduction Philotheca Rudge (Rutaceae: Boronieae) is a genus of 45 species of shrubs and undershrubs endemic to Australia. In a major taxonomic revision of the apparently closely related genera Eriostemon and Philotheca, Wilson (Wilson, 1998) transferred the majority of species once assigned to Eriostemon to the previously small genus Philotheca and divided it into four sections: Philotheca, Erionema, Corynonema and Cyanochlamys. Wilson differentiated Philotheca sensu lato from Eriostemon mainly by the presence of 1-nerved petals. Continuing our chemotaxonomic studies of Australia rutaceous plants (Colombain et al., 2002; Girard et al., 2002, 2005a,b; Roux et al., 2006; Chlouchi et al., 2005, 2006), we report here the results of phytochemical studies of aerial parts of three Philotheca species: Philotheca pachyphylla (Paul G. Wilson) Paul G. Wilson (P.p.), belonging to the section Philotheca, and three subspecies, which are included into the section Erionema: Philotheca scabra (Paxton) Paul G. Wilson ssp.

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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

Philotheca Obovatifolia (Bayly) P.I.Forst
NSW SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Determination to make a minor amendment to Schedule 1 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act The Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (the Act), has made a determination to amend the list of ENDANGERED SPECIES by inserting Philotheca obovatifolia (Bayly) P.I.Forst. in Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the Act and, as a consequence, omitting reference to Philotheca myoporoides subsp. obovatifolia M.J. Bayly. This amendment is the result of a change in the name of the species following taxonomic revision. This determination is made pursuant to Division 5 of Part 2 of the Act. The Scientific Committee has found that: 1. Philotheca myoporoides subsp. obovatifolia M.J. Bayly (family Rutaceae) was originally listed as an Endangered species under the Act in 1999. The subspecies was raised to specific rank by Forster (2005). This taxonomy is followed by Wilson (2013), APC (2016) and PlantNET (2016). 2. Philotheca obovatifolia (Bayly) P.I.Forst. is described as “Subshrub to 1 m high, glabrous except for flowers. Branchlets sparsely glandular verrucose. Leaves densely clustered near stem apices, broadly obovate, ±flat, 28–60 mm long, 14–30 mm wide, ±flat, obtuse to slightly retuse, shortly mucronate. Flowers solitary or in clusters of 2–5; peduncles conspicuous, to 10 mm long; pedicels 5–9 mm long, sparsely glandular verrucose. Sepals broadly deltate. Petals elliptic-oblong, 8–9 mm long, 3.5–4 mm wide, cream tinged with pink, papillose adaxially, abaxially glabrous with verrucose glands towards apex. Staminal filaments ciliate for entire length; apex with scattered longer hairs.” (Wilson 2013).
