Plant of the Month - July by Allan Carr Hibbertia vestita Hairy Guinea Flower Pronunciation: hib-ER-sha ves-TEET-a DILLENIACEAE Derivation: Hibbertia, after George Hibbert, 1757-1837 English merchant, politician, slave owner, ship owner and botany patron; vestita, from the Latin, vestire – to clothe, (a reference to the hairy leaves and branchlets). Flower Hairy leaves Flower plus native bee Hibbertia is a large genus of more than 150 species, the majority of them being endemic in Australia, particularly in WA where about 68 species are found. Most species are found among the low shrubs of heathlands and sandplain vegetation and a significant proportion also grow in open forest and woodland. Overseas they are also found in New Guinea, New Caledonia, Fiji and Madagascar. Description: H. vestita is a shrub to 30 cm with erect, sprawling or prostrate branchlets and stems usually minutely hairy. This species is very prominent in coastal heath as a sprawling prostrate plant but is also found as a low erect shrub in forested habitats further inland and is fire tolerant sprouting again after such an event. It occurs from about Rockhampton in Qld south to Wyong in NSW. Leaves to 7 mm by 2 mm are linear, alternate and minutely hairy with *recurved edges and a blunt end. They are dark green above and paler below. Flowers to 25 mm across are yellow with 5 bi-lobed petals (photo on left above). At any time of the year but mostly from June to November these are borne in small clusters on the ends of the branchlets. Petals are flimsy, sepals are silky hairy and each flower has about 30 stamens (photos on left and right above). Fruits with three segments are *dehiscent at the apex revealing three black seeds partly covered with fleshy *arils. A host plant of the Satin-green Forester day- flying moth (Pollanisus viridipulverulenta) which feeds on the flowers. *dehiscent = breaking open at maturity to release the contents *aril = a fleshy outgrowth of the stalk of a seed, often succulent and/ or brightly coloured and bird or insect attracting *recurved = rolled under Habit .

The Victorian Naturalist
J The Victorian Naturalist Volume 113(1) 199 February Club of Victoria Published by The Field Naturalists since 1884 MUSEUM OF VICTOR A 34598 From the Editors Members Observations As an introduction to his naturalist note on page 29, George Crichton had written: 'Dear Editors late years the Journal has become I Was not sure if it was of any relevance, as of ' very scientific, and ordinary nature reports or gossip of little importance We would be very sorry if members felt they could not contribute to The Victorian Naturalist, and we assure all our readers that the editors would be more than pleased to publish their nature reports or notes. We can, however, only print material that we actually receive and you are encouraged to send in your observations and notes or suggestions for topics you would like to see published. These articles would be termed Naturalist Notes - see in our editorial policy below. Editorial Policy Scope The Victorian Naturalist publishes articles on all facets of natural history. Its primary aims are to stimulate interest in natural history and to encourage the publication of arti- cles in both formal and informal styles on a wide range of natural history topics. Authors may submit the material in the following forms: Research Reports - succinct and original scientific communications. Contributions - may consist of reports, comments, observations, survey results, bib- liographies or other material relating to natural history. The scope is broad and little defined to encourage material on a wide range of topics and in a range of styles. This allows inclusion of material that makes a contribution to our knowledge of natural his- tory but for which the traditional format of scientific papers is not appropriate.

Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden HIBBERTIA, GUINEA FLOWER (Family: Dilleniaceae) The Dilleniaceae family includes trees, shrubs and climbers of tropical to subtropical regions of South-East Asia (incl. New Guinea, Madagascar, New Caledonia) to temperate Australia. Worldwide there are about 400 species in 10 - 12 genera. The majority of Hibbertia species (110) are native to Australia and occur in all states, with two–thirds from Western Australia. Genus Hibbertia is under revision. HIBBERTIA Guinea flower, so called because of their likeness to the golden Guinea coins. Hibbertia=after George Hibbert a London merchant, owner of a botanic garden, interested in propagating exotics, introducing many native plants from NSW. They are small to medium shrubs, prostrate ground covers or twining climbers Leaves are undivided, alternate, spirally arranged, vary in shape and size, margins entire or toothed, leaves on short axillary shoots often clustered and smaller than leaves on main stem. The underside of the leave has a prominent midrib. Flowers of most species are with yellow petals, regular, bisexual, flat or cup shaped, with: - sepals 5, glabrous or hairy, persistent. The 2 outer sepals marginally overlap the 3 inner ones - petals 5, broad, notched or lobed, delicate, falls after 1-2 days of opening. - stamens few to numerous, surrounding carpels or all on one side of carpels, persistent. Sometimes staminodes present. - carpels 2-7, free, hairy or glabrous. Ovary superior, ovules 2-6 in each carpel. Styles filiform. -Fruit a follicle dehiscent at the top. 1 Key for identification Hibbertia is under revision. Intermediates occur between some species.

Fire Responses of Bushland Plants After the January 1994 Wildfires in Northern Sydney
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Fire responses of bushland plants after the January 1994 wildfires in northern Sydney P.J.Kubiak P.O. Box 439, Ryde, NSW 1680 AUSTRALIA Abstract: In early January 1994 wildfires burned areas of bushland in northern Sydney (lat 33° 45’ S, long 151° 05’ E) in coastal south-eastern Australia. This paper reports observations of the fire responses for 828 species of bushland plants – 576 native species and 252 exotic species in the Lane Cove River and Narrabeen Lagoon catchment areas. Information recorded includes whether a species was killed by fire or resprouted post-fire, when seedlings were first observed following fire, and the times of first flowering and first fruiting (or spore production) after the fires. The estimated peaks of post-fire flowering or fruiting for a few species are given. It was not practicable to record data in all categories for all of the 828 species due to the logistical challenges involved in recording data across a large area of bushland, over a number of years. The data presented add to the growing body of knowledge on plant fire responses and will assist the management and conservation of bushland in the study areas, as well as the broader Sydney region. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(1): 131–165 Introduction Following a fire, the time taken by plants to flower after germination from seed, is known as the ‘primary juvenile Fire plays an important role in the shaping of Australia’s period’.

Cockerton, A revision of the Hibbertia hypericoides group (Dilleniaceae) 285 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 25: 285–300 Published online 9 October 2015 A revision of the Hibbertia hypericoides species group (Dilleniaceae) Kevin R. Thiele1 and Geoff Cockerton2 ¹Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 2Western Botanical, PO Box 3608, Midland, Western Australia 6056 1Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract Thiele, K.R. & Cockerton, G. A revision of the Hibbertia hypericoides species group (Dilleniaceae). Nuytsia 25: 285–300 (2015). The Hibbertia hypericoides (DC.) Benth. species group comprises four species endemic in Western Australia. Hibbertia hypericoides is the most widespread species of Hibbertia Andrews in Western Australia, and exhibits significant and complex variation. The new subspecies H. hypericoides subsp. septentrionalis K.R.Thiele & Cockerton is described to accommodate a long-recognised form that occurs in the northern part of its range. The new species H. cockertoniana K.R.Thiele, previously included in H. hypericoides, is described. Descriptions are also provided for H. hypericoides subsp. hypericoides, H. silvestris Diels and H. furfuracea (R.Br. ex DC.) Benth., the other taxa in the group. Introduction The Hibbertia hypericoides (DC.) Benth. species group comprises a small number of closely related taxa in south-west Western Australia, mostly in moderately high-rainfall areas, characterised by linear to obovate, obtuse leaves with margins that vary from slightly recurved with the densely stellate-pubescent abaxial surface more or less exposed to strongly recurved and obscuring the abaxial lamina and midrib, pedicellate flowers with a single, herbaceous primary bract at the apex of the pedicel and no secondary bracts, stamens all on one side of two densely pubescent carpels, and staminodes in bundles lateral to and opposite the stamens (Figure 1).

The Wehl Family of South Australia and Their Botanical Connections with “Dear Uncle” Baron Ferdinand Von Mueller John Leslie Dowea, Tom W
Swainsona 34: 1–79 (2020) © 2020 Board of the Botanic Gardens & State Herbarium (Adelaide, South Australia) The Wehl family of South Australia and their botanical connections with “Dear Uncle” Baron Ferdinand von Mueller John Leslie Dowea, Tom W. Mayb, Sara Maroskeb & Lucy Therese Smithc a Australian Tropical Herbarium, James Cook University, Smithfield, Queensland 4878, Australia Email: [email protected] b Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Melbourne, Victoria 3004, Australia c Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey, United Kingdom Abstract: Dr Eduard Wehl and Clara Wehl (née Mueller) and their children hold a unique position in the history of South Australian botany because of their association with Clara’s brother and the children’s uncle, Baron Ferdinand von Mueller, Australia’s most significant botanist of the nineteenth century. Both Wehl parents and six of their twelve surviving children collected botanical specimens for Mueller and about 1200 herbarium specimens have been located with most being held in the National Herbarium of Victoria. The majority of specimens were collected in the vicinity of Mount Gambier and Lake Bonney, South Australia. As well as collecting botanical specimens, two daughters, Marie Magdalene Wehl and Henrietta Jane Wehl, illustrated plants and fungi. About 300 illustrations have survived. Of these, about 240 are of flowering plants and contained in three sketchbooks, two of which are at the National Herbarium of Victoria and one at the State Herbarium of South Australia. Marie made a speciality of illustrating fungi, and 36 illustrations are included in an album in the Natural History Museum, London, and 25 others are held as either loose illustrations or associated with herbarium specimens in the National Herbarium of Victoria.

Gard. 24 (2010) 57–66 © 2010 Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Government of South Australia Notes on Hibbertia (Dilleniaceae). 6. Three new species and a new combination in the H. stricta complex from South Australia and Victoria H.R. Toelken State Herbarium of South Australia, P.O. Box 2732, Kent Town, South Australia 5071 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Two new species, Hibbertia devitata Toelken and H. setifera Toelken, are segregated from the H. stricta (R.Br. ex DC.) F.Muell. complex. H. glebosa Toelken is newly described from the H. australis N.A.Wakef. complex and the new combination H. glebosa subsp. oblonga (J.M.Black) Toelken is made. All three species have strongly revolute leaf margins. The many local variants of H. devitata, which is a common and widespread species, mainly in South Australia, are described in detail, and some of the convoluted nomenclature of the H. stricta complex is discussed. A key is provided to the South Australian species and subspecies that would have been included in Bentham’s concept of H. stricta . Keywords: Dilleniaceae, Hibbertia, nomenclature, taxonomy, southern Australia, South Australia, Victoria. Introduction Key to species and subspecies Bentham (1863) commented that H. stricta (R.Br. of the H. australis-, H. riparia- and H. stricta ex DC.) F.Muell. “is a very variable species”, and he complexes in South Australia included at least six previously recognised species 1. Flowers sessile — if rarely with peduncle up to 14 mm then as well as specimens of many taxa undescribed at the leaves and calyx glabrescent (small and scarcely visible to the naked eye) or glabrous time, in this large complex.
