III. AND TELOPEA 7 (3) By Robert Miller As part of his treatment of the family Lamiaceae in the "Flora of New South Wales", Dr. Barry Conn listed seven as yet unnamed species as occurring in the genus Prostanthera within New South Wales. These unnamed taxa are assigned letters A to G eg. Prostanthera species A Unfortunately the letters used for those yet undescribed species do not equate with other authors' treatments eg. Jacobs & Pickard (1981) and "Students Flora of North Eastern New South Wales Vol. V". Referral is also not given to the lay person's nomenclature (although botanically incorrect) of the species. This has added to the confusion in the naming of those species amongst enthusiasts and members of the public who do not have easy access to botanical references. This is best illustrated by the confusion of names that exist for a commonly grown, unnamed species most frequently referred to by enthusiasts as Prostanthera "rylstonei". In George Althofers book "The Cradle of Incense" this same species is described as P. sp. aff. howelliae, in "Flora of New South Wales" the taxon is referred to as Prostanthera sp. A . December 1999 This tabular presentation aims to collate references to unnamed species enabling cross-referencing to be more easily pursued.

B. poiciloptilus is a large, stocky, thick-necked heron-like bird with camouflage-like plumage growing up to 66-76 cm with a wingspan of 1050-1180 cm and feeds on freshwater crustacean, fish, insects, snakes, leaves and fruit. N. oxleyana is light brown to olive coloured freshwater fish with mottling and three to four patchy, dark brown bars extending from head to tail and a whitish belly growing up to 35-60 mm. This is a mobile species that is often observed individually or in pairs and sometimes in small groups but does not form schools and feed on aquatic insects and their larvae (Allen, 1989; McDowall, 1996). E. leuraensis is an insectivorous, medium-sized lizard growing to approximately 20 cm in length. This species has a relatively dark brown/black body when compared to other Eulamprus spp. Also has narrow yellow/bronze to white stripes along its length to beginning of the tail and continuing along the tail as a series of spots (LeBreton, 1996; Cogger, 2000).

    Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps Alpine National Park Avon Wilderness Park Bimberi Nature Reserve Brindabella National Park Kosciuszko National Park Mount Buffalo National Park Namadgi National Park Scabby Range Nature Reserve Snowy River National Park Peter Coyne May 2001 A report to the Natural Heritage Working Group of the Australian Alps Liaison Committee Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps About the author Peter Coyne has had an interest in the Australian Alps from early childhood and a long history of interest and involvement in protected area issues. This began with preparation of a management plan as an honours project when such a document was a real novelty. He had the rare opportunity to create national parks, working with the Land Conservation Council in Victoria where he defined the boundaries and gave names to proposed new national parks, including Croajingalong, Snowy River and Tingaringy, which the Government adopted. Dr Coyne joined the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service in its early days and spent four years establishing the Service’s office and operations on Norfolk Island, and introducing the concept of environmental management to the island’s community and government (which led to the creation of the Norfolk Island National Park). He then headed the ANPWS Park Planning Section, personally preparing the management plan for Kakadu National Park and having responsibility for preparation of other plans ranging from central Australia (Uluru–Kata Tjuta) to marine national nature reserves in the Coral and Timor Seas, and park plans for Australia’s remote Indian Ocean Territories. During this time he also developed the legislation and lease to enable transfer of Uluru to its traditional Aboriginal owners and its lease back to the Director of National Parks and Wildlife for continuing use as a national park.
