The iconic flora of southwestern Australia is legendary. Probably less well known is the flora of the arid and semi-arid zone further north including the wheat-belt, Eastern Goldfields, and Great Victoria Desert areas, east and northeast of Perth across to the South Australia and Northern Territory borders. Morrie will show some of the flowering plants seen on a 2012 trip from Central Australia across the Central Desert Road to Laverton and then to Kalgoorlie, Southern Cross, Dalwallinu, Yalgoo and Geraldton.

Bush Foods and Fibres
Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Bush foods and fibres • Plant-based bush foods, medicines and poisons can come from nectar, flowers, fruit, leaves, bark, stems, sap and roots. • Plants provide fibres and materials for making many items including clothes, cords, musical instruments, shelters, tools, toys and weapons. • A fruit is the seed-bearing structure of a plant. • Do not eat fruits that you do not know to be safe to eat. Allergic reactions or other adverse reactions could occur. • We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and pay our respects to the Elders both past, present and future for they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope of their people. Plants as food: many native plants must be processed before they are safe to eat. Flowers, nectar, pollen, Sugars, vitamins, honey, lerps (psyllid tents) minerals, starches, manna (e.g. Ribbon Gum proteins & other nutrients Eucalyptus viminalis exudate), gum (e.g. Acacia lerp manna decurrens) Fruit & seeds Staple foods Carbohydrates (sugars, starches, fibre), proteins, fats, vitamins Leaves, stalks, roots, apical Staple foods Carbohydrates, protein, buds minerals Plants such as daisies, lilies, orchids and vines Tubers, rhyzomes were a source of starchy tubers known as Carbohydrate, fibre, yams. The yam daisy Microseris lanceolata protein, vitamins, (Asteraceae) was widespread in inland NSW minerals and other states. The native yam Dioscorea transversa grows north from Stanwell Tops into Qld and Northern Territory and can be eaten raw or roasted as can those of Trachymene incisa. 1 Plant Description of food Other notes Acacia Wattle seed is a rich source of iron, Saponins and tannins and other essential elements.

SCH: PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Pursuant to: Division 13, Public Resources Code Project Description The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), in cooperation with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 7, proposes to develop and implement an auxiliary lane on Eastbound State Route 91 within a 1.4-mile segment from the southbound Interstate 710 (I-710) interchange connector to eastbound State Route 91, to Cherry Avenue. The Study Area includes Eastbound State Route 91 (Post Miles [PM] R11.8/R13.2) and is located in the City of Long Beach and adjacent to the City of Paramount, California. Determination This proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is included to give notice to interested agencies and the public that it is Caltrans’ intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project. This does not mean that Caltrans’ decision regarding the Project is final. This Mitigated Negative Declaration is subject to change based on comments received by interested agencies and the public. All Project features (including standard practices and specifications) are considered in significance determinations. Caltrans has prepared an Initial Study for this project and, pending public review, expects to determine from this study that the proposed Project would not have a significant effect on the environment for the following reasons: The Project would have no effect on aesthetics, agriculture and forest resources, cultural resources, energy, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, recreation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire.

Syzygium and Related Genera (Myrtaceae) in Auckland
12 SYZYGIUM AND RELATED GENERA (MYRTACEAE) IN AUCKLAND R.O. Gardner The Australian members of this alliance have been expertly revised by Hyland (1983) making it possible to improve acquaintance with the five species in Syzygium Acmena and Waterhousea that are grown in Auckland for ornament and shelter. These are essentially trees of warm latitudes along Australias eastern coast but they find our climate and probably richer soils congenial and often it seems grow better here than in their homeland. None however have properly naturalized though undispersed juveniles and a few adults do occur. The disposition into genera is based largely upon characters of the. fruit and seed. What appears to be a simple baccate "monkey apple" may conceal unusual features like ruminate cotyledons or a missing seed coat so the fruits of these species produced here in abundance are very interesting to dissect and compare. Leaf silhouettes of the five Australian species are shown in Figure IA. Acmena smithii lillipilli monkey apple (NZ) Very common around Auckland as a street or specimen tree and in hedges. Seedlings occur close to the plantings but most succumb to scale and thrips. Some of the seedlings at Purewa cemetery have a lignotuber unlike most Australian forms of the species (Figure IB). Waterhousea floribunda weeping lillipilli (formerly Syzygium floribundum Eugenia ventenatii) Only seen in a few old gardens e.g. at Highwic The Pines Western Park being fine trees to c. 15 m tall 80 cm dbh and especially beautiful in spring with their pendent new foliage of pink and yellow; a species which should be much more often grown in this country.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This review of the environmental impacts of Myrtle Rust in Australia is accompanied by an adjunct document, Myrtle Rust in Australia – a draft Action Plan. The Action Plan was developed in 2018 in consultation with experts, stakeholders and the public. The intent of the draft Action Plan is to provide a guiding framework for a specifically environmental dimension to Australia’s response to Myrtle Rust – that is, the conservation of native biodiversity at risk.

However, depending on the amount of tannins in the gum it may be too bitter and astringent for most palates. Pale amber gums are usually more pleasant than those that are a darker red-brown colour.

The current study was DOI: undertaken to test the ability of a panel of Australian plants with a history of the ethnobotanical 10.4103/0973-1296.157734 usage in the treatment of inflammation for the ability to block the microbial trigger of RA. Quick Response Code: Materials and Methods: One hundred and six extracts from 40 plant species were investigated for the ability to inhibit the growth of the bacterial trigger of RA (Proteus mirabilis). The extracts were tested for toxicity in the Artemia nauplii bioassay. The most potent inhibitor of P. mirabilis growth was further analyzed by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) coupled to high accuracy time‑of‑flight (TOF) mass spectroscopy. Results: Sixty‑five of the 106 extracts tested (61.3%) inhibited the growth of P. The Aleurites moluccanus, Datura leichardtii, Eucalyptus major, Leptospermum bracteata, L. juniperium, Macadamia integrifloranut, Melaleuca alternifolia, Melaleuca quinquenervia, Petalostigma pubescens, P. triloculorae, P. augustifolium, Scaevola spinescens, Syzygium australe, and Tasmannia lanceolata extracts were determined to be the most effective inhibitors of P.
