Introduction Methods Results
Papers and Proceedings Royal Society ofTasmania, Volume 1999 103 THE CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS OF THE VEGETATION AND FLORA OF THE HUNTINGFIELD AREA, SOUTHERN TASMANIA by J.B. Kirkpatrick (with two tables, four text-figures and one appendix) KIRKPATRICK, J.B., 1999 (31:x): The characteristics and management problems of the vegetation and flora of the Huntingfield area, southern Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 133(1): 103-113. ISSN 0080-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University ofTasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted. If another species had more than half The Huntingfield Estate, approximately 400 ha of forest, the cover ofthe dominant one it was noted as a codominant.

Vicariance, Climate Change, Anatomy and Phylogeny of Restionaceae
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (2000), 134: 159–177. With 12 figures doi:10.1006/bojl.2000.0368, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Under the microscope: plant anatomy and systematics. Edited by P. J. Rudall and P. Gasson Vicariance, climate change, anatomy and phylogeny of Restionaceae H. P. LINDER FLS Bolus Herbarium, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa Cutler suggested almost 30 years ago that there was convergent evolution between African and Australian Restionaceae in the distinctive culm anatomical features of Restionaceae. This was based on his interpretation of the homologies of the anatomical features, and these are here tested against a ‘supertree’ phylogeny, based on three separate phylogenies. The first is based on morphology and includes all genera; the other two are based on molecular sequences from the chloroplast genome; one covers the African genera, and the other the Australian genera. This analysis corroborates Cutler’s interpretation of convergent evolution between African and Australian Restionaceae. However, it indicates that for the Australian genera, the evolutionary pathway of the culm anatomy is much more complex than originally thought. In the most likely scenario, the ancestral Restionaceae have protective cells derived from the chlorenchyma. These persist in African Restionaceae, but are soon lost in Australian Restionaceae. Pillar cells and sclerenchyma ribs evolve early in the diversification of Australian Restionaceae, but are secondarily lost numerous times. In some of the reduction cases, the result is a very simple culm anatomy, which Cutler had interpreted as a primitively simple culm type, while in other cases it appears as if the functions of the ribs and pillars may have been taken over by a new structure, protective cells developed from epidermal, rather than chlorenchyma, cells.

A fire response trait that allows plants to cope with frequent fire by either reseeding or resprouting could differentially affect rates of species diversification. However, little is known about the generality of the effects of differing fire response on species evolution. We study this question in the Restionaceae, a family that radiated in Southern Africa and Australia. These radiations occurred independently and represent evolutionary replicates. We apply Bayesian approaches to estimate trait-specific diversification rates and patterns of climatic niche evolution. We also compare the climatic heterogeneity of South Africa and Australia. Reseeders diversify faster than resprouters in South Africa, but not in Australia.

The ironstone communities of the Swan and Scott Coastal Plains N Gibson1, G Keighery1, & B Keighery2 1 CALMScience, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51 Wanneroo WA 6065. email: [email protected]; [email protected] 2 Department of Environmental Protection, 141 St Georges Terrace WA 6000. email: [email protected] Manuscript received September 1999; accepted December, 1999 Abstract The restricted plant communities of the massive ironstones (ferricretes) of the Swan and Scott Coastal Plains are described. These communities are amongst the most threatened in Western Australia. Much of the original extent of these communities has been cleared for agriculture, the remaining areas are threatened by Phytophthora cinnamomi, grazing and activities associated with mineral exploration. Twenty taxa have been recorded as being endemic to or having their major distribution centred on these ironstone areas, a further three taxa may have forms restricted to this habitat. Only eight of these 20 taxa are known from secure conservation reserves. Major differences in community composition were related to geographic and edaphic factors. Species richness ranges from an average of 14 to 67.8 taxa per 100 m2 across the nine community types described. Only five of these community types have been recorded from secure conservation reserves. Most occurrences of these plant communities occur on ironstone areas which are much younger than the Tertiary aged laterites of the nearby Darling and Blackwood Plateaus.

Nuclear Genes, Matk and the Phylogeny of the Poales
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2018 Nuclear genes, matK and the phylogeny of the Poales Hochbach, Anne ; Linder, H Peter ; Röser, Martin Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships within the monocot order Poales have been well studied, but sev- eral unrelated questions remain. These include the relationships among the basal families in the order, family delimitations within the restiid clade, and the search for nuclear single-copy gene loci to test the relationships based on chloroplast loci. To this end two nuclear loci (PhyB, Topo6) were explored both at the ordinal level, and within the Bromeliaceae and the restiid clade. First, a plastid reference tree was inferred based on matK, using 140 taxa covering all APG IV families of Poales, and analyzed using parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. The trees inferred from matK closely approach the published phylogeny based on whole-plastome sequencing. Of the two nuclear loci, Topo6 supported a congruent, but much less resolved phylogeny. By contrast, PhyB indicated different phylo- genetic relationships, with, inter alia, Mayacaceae and Typhaceae sister to Poaceae, and Flagellariaceae in a basally branching position within the Poales. Within the restiid clade the differences between the three markers appear less serious. The Anarthria clade is first diverging in all analyses, followed by Restionoideae, Sporadanthoideae, Centrolepidoideae and Leptocarpoideae in the matK and Topo6 data, but in the PhyB data Centrolepidoideae diverges next, followed by a paraphyletic Restionoideae with a clade consisting of the monophyletic Sporadanthoideae and Leptocarpoideae nested within them. The Bromeliaceae phylogeny obtained from Topo6 is insuﬀiciently sampled to make reliable statements, but indicates a good starting point for further investigations.

Leptocarpus (Restionaceae) Enlarged to Include Meeboldina and Stenotalis, with New Subgenera and Western Australian Species
Volume 16: 19–41 ELOPEA Publication date: 9 April 2014 T dx.doi.org/10.7751/telopea20147400 Journal of Plant Systematics plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/Telopea • escholarship.usyd.edu.au/journals/index.php/TEL • ISSN 0312-9764 (Print) • ISSN 2200-4025 (Online) Leptocarpus (Restionaceae) enlarged to include Meeboldina and Stenotalis, with new subgenera and Western Australian species Barbara G. Briggs National Herbarium of New South Wales, Botanic Gardens Trust Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia. [email protected] Abstract A recent phylogeny of the restiid clade of Poales based on DNA data from the chloroplast genome indicates that several currently recognised genera of Leptocarpoideae are paraphyletic or polyphyletic. Morphology and DNA data both indicate that the species included in Meeboldina consist of two groups. Moreover, Leptocarpus and the monotypic Stenotalis both appear embedded in Meeboldina, as the latter has been recognised in recent classifications. Consequently, Leptocarpus is here enlarged to encompass Meeboldina and Stenotalis and new subgenera Leptocarpus, Meeboldina and Stenotalis are recognised. The new combination Leptocarpus denmarkicus (Suess.) B.G.Briggs [previously Meeboldina denmarkica Suess.] is provided and the new epithet and combination Leptocarpus scoparius B.G.Briggs [previously Stenotalis ramosissima (Gilg) B.G.Briggs & L.A.S.Johnson, basionym Hypolaena ramosissima Gilg, non Leptocarpus ramosissimus Pillans]. Eight new species from the south of Western Australia are described: L. crebriculmis, L. decipiens, L. depilatus, L. elegans, L. kraussii, L. roycei, L. tephrinus and L. thysananthus. Introduction In classifying the non-African Restionaceae, Briggs and Johnson (1998a, 1998b, 1999) described a number of new genera to accommodate distinctive groups.
