    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT (ff AGRICULTURE INVENTORY No. Washington, D. C. T Issued February, 1930 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, JULY 1 TO SEPTEMBER 30,1928 (NOS. 77261 TO 77595) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names 19 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The most outstanding plant material contained in this inventory, No. 96, covering the period from July 1 to September 30, 1928, is the collection of 51 sugarcane varieties (Saccarum offvoinarum, Nos. 77334 to 77384) procured by E. W. Brandes in New Guinea for use in his official investigations. Part of the interest in this shipment is due to the fact that Doctor Brandes is the first agricultural explorer to use an airplane for his collecting tour. Doctor Brandes not only collected sugarcanes in person but also obtained the cooper- ation of P. H. Goldfinch, Sydney, Australia, who sent in a collection of 44 varieties (Nos. 77496 to 77539). Another lot of five varieties (Nos. 77298 to 77302) was received from Argentina. As in the previous inventory, the bulk of the plant material received in this period comes from the Southern Hemisphere. Through the activities of Mrs. Frieda Cobb Blanchard two collections of Australian plants (Nos. 77273 to 77292 and Nos. 77441 to 77447), as well as a collection from New Zealand (Nos. 77540 to 77582), were received. Through O. F. Cook there was received a collection of rubber-producing plants (Nos. 77387 to 77394) from Haiti. Five kinds of cover crops (Nos. 77293 to 77297) from Ceylon may be of value for the southern United States.

  • Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 7
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 87:49–62, 2004 Flora and vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 7. Middle and South Ironcap, Digger Rock and Hatter Hill N Gibson Science Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51 Wanneroo WA 6065 [email protected] (Manuscript received July 2003; accepted June 2004) Abstract A study of the flora and plant communities of part of Forrestania greenstone belt between Middle Ironcap and Hatter Hill (some 80 km ESE of Hyden), recorded a total flora of 345 taxa of which 342 were native and three were introduced. Three species of threatened flora and 29 taxa being considered for listing were found. Ten species are considered to be endemic to the range and a further eight species are restricted to similar landforms within 100 km of the range. A new species of Stenanthemum is only known from two populations. Despite considerable mining and exploration activity in the area, the flora and vegetation remain poorly known. Thirty-eight quadrats were established along the range system and data from these quadrats were used to define four community types. Differences in these community types were strongly related to edaphic gradients. Very little of the Forrestania vegetation system is reserved and the results of this survey support recommendations for the establishment of nature reserves to conserve this vegetation system. Keywords: flora, vegetation, Goldfields, Ironcap, Hatter Hill, Digger Rock, Western Australia, greenstone Introduction wildfire in summer of 1993 that consumed almost all vegetation between Mt Holland and Middle Ironcap.
