H awkeswood , James R. Turner and Richard W. Wells Abstract: New larval host plant records and further biological data are recorded for the large and distinctive Australian longicorn beetle,Agrianome spinicollis (Macleay) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The presently known larval host plants are listed and original references cited. The adults are not known to feed and no data on adult hosts have ever been recorded. The suite of published larval host plants indicate that rainforest as well as woodland and sclerophyll forest communities are inhabited by this beetle. SinceAgrianome species are primitive cerambycids, it is suggested here that A.spinicollis originated (evolved first) in rainforest and as the Australian continental landmass dried out climatically, and sclerophylly evolved, the beetle adapted to plants belonging to these new plant communities.

  • Department of Planning and Zoning
    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

  • Brachychiton Discolor Lacebark
    Plant of the Week Brachychiton discolor Lacebark In late spring and early summer, Sydney is blessed with flowering trees: mauve blue Jacarandas, scarlet Illawarra Flame Trees and golden Silky Oaks. The Lacebark (Brachychiton discolor) also flowers at this time of year but somehow we often miss the lovely dusky pink and brown flowers of this most elegant of Australian trees. The Lacebark is closely related to the Illawarra Flame (Brachychiton acerifolius), Kurrajong (B. populneus) and the Queensland Bottle Tree (B. rupestris), all of which are now included in the plant family Malvaceae although until recently, were included in the Sterculiaceae, a family of tropical and subtropical distribution. Lacebarks can be found in rainforests along the coast and ranges of eastern Australia, from Paterson in northern NSW, to Mackay in North Queensland. There is also an isolated community on Cape York Peninsula1. They are very popular as garden plants as they don’t grow too tall, can cope with a wide range of soils and can survive hot and dry conditions. They drop their leaves just once a year prior to flowering and it is then that you notice the striking contrast between their straight round trunks and unusual branching architecture which is so very different from that of eucalypts with which we are more familiar. 1Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachychiton_discolor Map modified from Australia’s Virtual Herbarium: http://www.chah.gov.au/avh/avhServlet Text and photographs: Alison Downing & Kevin Downing, 19.11.2011 Downing Herbarium, Department of Biological Sciences .

  • The Geranium Family, Geraniaceae, and the Mallow Family, Malvaceae
    THE GERANIUM FAMILY, GERANIACEAE, AND THE MALLOW FAMILY, MALVACEAE TWO SOMETIMES CONFUSED FAMILIES PROMINENT IN SOME MEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE AREAS The Geraniaceae is a family of herbaceous plants or small shrubs, sometimes with succulent stems • The family is noted for its often palmately veined and lobed leaves, although some also have pinnately divided leaves • The leaves all have pairs of stipules at their base • The flowers may be regular and symmetrical or somewhat irregular • The floral plan is 5 separate sepals and petals, 5 or 10 stamens, and a superior ovary • The most distinctive feature is the beak of fused styles on top of the ovary Here you see a typical geranium flower This nonnative weedy geranium shows the styles forming a beak The geranium family is also noted for its seed dispersal • The styles either actively eject the seeds from each compartment of the ovary or… • They twist and embed themselves in clothing and fur to hitch a ride • The Geraniaceae is prominent in the Mediterranean Basin and the Cape Province of South Africa • It is also found in California but few species here are drought tolerant • California does have several introduced weedy members Here you see a geranium flinging the seeds from sections of the ovary when the styles curl up Three genera typify the Geraniaceae: Erodium, Geranium, and Pelargonium • Erodiums (common name filaree or clocks) typically have pinnately veined, sometimes dissected leaves; many species are weeds in California • Geraniums (that is, the true geraniums) typically have palmately veined leaves and perfectly symmetrical flowers. Most are herbaceous annuals or perennials • Pelargoniums (the so-called garden geraniums or storksbills) have asymmetrical flowers and range from perennials to succulents to shrubs The weedy filaree, Erodium cicutarium, produces small pink-purple flowers in California’s spring grasslands Here are the beaked unripe fruits of filaree Many of the perennial erodiums from the Mediterranean make well-behaved ground covers for California gardens Here are the flowers of the charming E.

(Fabaceae, Mimosoideae) Phillip G Kodela and Peter G Wilson National Herbarium of New South Wales, The Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia. [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract A lectotype is here designated for Mimosa pubescens Vent., the basionym of the Australian species Acacia pubescens (Vent.) R.Br. Introduction Acacia pubescens (Vent.) R.Br. has a restricted distribution in the greater Sydney region of New South Wales (see Tame 1992, Tindale and Kodela 2001, Kodela and Harden 2002, Kodela 2016, OEH 2016), and is listed as a Vulnerable species (OEH 2016). The basionym of Acacia pubescens, Mimosa pubescens, was originally published by Étienne Ventenat in the first volume of his work Jardin de la Malmaison (Ventenat 1803) that celebrated the collection of interesting plants from around the world in cultivation at the home of the Empress Josephine. Lack (2004: 35) notes that the number of Australian plants described in this work was “remarkably high” considering that the continent was, at that time, still largely unknown. The detailed descriptions were accompanied by fine illustrations by the famous botanical artist Redouté. At the time of compilation of the Acacia treatment in the Flora of Australia, no type specimen had been located (Tindale and Kodela 2001) and it was later suggested that the species could have been lectotypified on the plate in the protologue (Fig.

    Green Spring Gardens 4603 Green Spring Rd ● Alexandria ● VA 22312 Phone: 703-642-5173 ● TTY: 703-803-3354 www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/greenspring NON - NATIVE TREES AND LARGE SHRUBS ­ FOR THE WASHINGTON, D.C. AREA ­ Non-native trees are some of the most beloved plants in the landscape due to their beauty. In addition, these trees are grown for the shade, screening, structure, and landscape benefits they provide. Deciduous trees, whose leaves die and fall off in the autumn, are valuable additions to landscapes because of their changing interest throughout the year. Evergreen trees are valued for their year-round beauty and shelter for wildlife. Evergreens are often grouped into two categories, broadleaf evergreens and conifers. Broadleaf evergreens have broad, flat leaves. They also may have showy flowers, such as Camellia oleifera (a large shrub), or colorful fruits, such as Nellie R. Stevens holly. Coniferous evergreens either have needle-like foliage, such as the lacebark pine, or scale-like foliage, such as the green giant arborvitae. Conifers do not have true flowers or fruits but bear cones. Though most conifers are evergreen, exceptions exist. Dawn redwood, for example, loses its needles each fall. The following are useful definitions: Cultivar (cv.) - a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as ‘Autumn Gold’. A variety (var.) or subspecies (subsp.), in contrast, is found in nature and is a subdivision of a species (a variety of Cedar of Lebanon is listed). Full Shade - the amount of light under a dense deciduous tree canopy or beneath evergreens. Full Sun - at least 6 hours of sun daily.

Introduction Exotic, invasive plant species have a negative impact on biodiversity, economy and/or public health. For this reason the Invasive Alien Species Team of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority has requested a risk assessment for Robinia pseudoacacia. The current risk assessment will focus on the situation in the Netherlands and discuss the following subjects: • Probability of entry • Probability of establishment in the Netherlands • Probability of spread • Identification of endangered areas based on the results of the three previous subjects • Impact of Robinia pseudoacacia in respect to ecological, economical and public health aspects • Management options to eradicate the species • Management options to control further spread and reduce impact.

  • Full Significant Tree List
    Trees not on Significant Tree Register Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 42 French St, front garden The Lilypilly has been widely planted from the nineteenth century through to the present day often as a wind break and hedge. The specimen in the front garden of 42 French Street is impressive in size and most likely remains from an earlier larger garden. There are many specimens of Lilypilly planted around Hamilton. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Acmena smithii, Lilly-pilly - 9 Gray St, front garden Older planting which was originally part of the garden at 13 Gray Street. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: Important as part of original garden planting. Aesculus hippocastanum, Horse Chestnut - Melville Oval, Thompson St side near water fountain. The Horse Chestnut is not very widely planted throughout Victoria although a very popular tree throughout Europe. It is best in the cooler climates of the Dandenong and Mt Macedon ranges. Dimensions: precise dimensions not available Significance: This is the only specimen found in Hamilton and therefore of local interest. Araucaria heterophylla, Norfolk Island Pine - 13 Gray St, front garden Araucarias have been popular in Victoria from the mid- nineteenth century to the present time producing a distinct form in the landscape. The large specimen here remains from the original garden and was probably planted about 1904 and is one of two large specimens in the Church Hill area. The other, identical in size, was planted at 31 Gray St, apparently the home of a member of the same family. Both trees are excellent examples of the species and have become landmarks in the Church Hill area.

  • Mimosa (Albizia Julibrissin)
    W232 Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin) Becky Koepke-Hill, Extension Assistant, Plant Sciences Greg Armel, Assistant Professor, Extension Weed Specialist for Invasive Weeds, Plant Sciences Origin: Mimosa is native to Asia, from Iran to Japan. It was introduced to the United States in 1745 as an ornamental plant. Description: Mimosa is a legume with double-compound leaves that give the 20- to 40-foot tree a fern-like appear- ance. Each leaf has 10 to 25 leaflets and 40 to 60 subleaflets per leaflet. In the summer, the tree pro- duces pink puff flowers. Fruits are produced in the fall and are contained in tan seedpods. The tree often has multiple stems and a broad, spreading canopy. Seed- lings can be confused with other double-compound legumes, but mimosa does not have thorns or prickles like black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), and has a woody base, unlike hemp sesbania (Sesbania exaltata). Habitat: Mimosa is cold-hardy to USDA hardiness zone 6 and is not found in elevations above 3,000 feet. Mimosa will thrive in full sun in a wide range of soils in any dis- turbed habitat, such as stream banks, roadsides and old fields. Mimosa can live in partial shade, but is almost never found in full shade or dense forests. Mi- mosa often spreads by seeds from nearby ornamental plantings, or by fill dirt containing mimosa seeds. It is a growing problem in aquatic environments, where mimosa gets started on the disturbed stream banks, and its seeds are carried by the running water. Environmental Impact: Mimosa is challenging to remove once it is estab- lished.
