Plants of the West Coast family: GoodeniaCeae Scaevola crassifolia THICK-LEAVED SCAEVOLA Labill. Flowering period: July–February. Description: Erect to ground-hugging, often intensely sticky-leaved shrub, 0.1–1.5 m high in the Perth region. Leaves variable depending upon location and proximity to the ocean-front, usually paddle-shaped and rounded, 30–75 mm long, 10–33 mm wide with finely toothed margins. Flowers terminal to sub-terminal, in open heads, petals 7–10 mm long with a prominent style protruding from just beyond the flower. Seed a hard nut, within a thin, fleshy, flattened spherical fruit 2.5 mm wide, 1.5 mm long, green, ripening yellow to orange. Pollination: Open pollinated by a variety of insects. Distribution: Widespread from Shark Bay to Eyre in the Great Australian Bight. In the Perth region a number of forms occur in frontal dunes or over limestone. The limestone form is similar to the clone-forming type occurring on Rottnest Island and is lower growing and can form growth circles with age as the centre parts of the plant die out. At Swanbourne Beach both the clonal and shrub form co-occur. Habit Propagation: From cuttings taken in early summer. Strike cuttings directly into pots to be used in plantings and ensure plants are sun-hardened to maximise survival when transplanted. Plant in full sun. Uses in restoration: One of the main species for primary dune restoration. Adapts well to both full exposure and protected sites and is a useful nurse plant for establishing other slower growing and taller species such as coastal Acacia species. Can tolerate some sand burial. Use only locally sourced cuttings to maintain local genetic integrity and to maximise local adaptive advantage. Flowers Notes: Survives well in the home garden with or without water. Responds well to pruning and hedging. Often confused with Scaevola nitida that has non-fleshy leaves, no leaf stickiness and leaves that are lance-shaped. Fruit Distribution 206 207.

The Origin of the Bifurcating Style in Asteraceae (Compositae)

E-mail [email protected] Received: 20 November 2015 Returned for revision: 22 December 2015 Accepted: 8 January 2016 Published electronically: 20 April 2016 Background and Aims The plant family Asteraceae (Compositae) exhibits remarkable morphological variation in the styles of its members. Lack of studies on the styles of the sister families to Asteraceae, Goodeniaceae and Calyceraceae, obscures our understanding of the origin and evolution of this reproductive feature in these groups. The aim of this work was to perform a comparative study of style morphology and to discuss the relevance of im- portant features in the evolution of Asteraceae and its sister families. Methods The histochemistry, venation and general morphology of the styles of members of Goodeniaceae, Calyceraceae and early branching lineages of Asteraceae were analysed and put in a phylogenetic framework to dis- cuss the relevance of style features in the evolution of these families. Key Results The location of lipophilic substances allowed differentiation of receptive from non-receptive style papillae, and the style venation in Goodeniaceae and Calyceraceae proved to be distinctive.

Comparison of the Vegetation of the Islands in Shoalwater Bay (Rockingham, Western Australia) with That of the Coastal Bushland
Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 85:169-179, 2002 Comparison of the vegetation of the islands in Shoalwater Bay (Rockingham, Western Australia) with that of the coastal bushland E Rippey1,2, J J Rippey2, B Green2 & J N Dunlop2 1Department of Geography, University of Western Australia. Crawley WA 6009 2Friends of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, 0 Rockingham Environmental Centre, Safety Bay Road, Rockingham WA 6168 email: [email protected] (Manuscript received May 2002; accepted November 2002) Abstract Surveys were conducted of the vegetation of three areas in and around Shoalwater Bay: a strip of foreshore (Mersey Point), a headland (Point Peron), and a string of islands. Each survey area measured about 15 ha. The differences between the two mainland reserves and the islands are of particular interest. Only 23% of the plant species recorded occurred in all three reserves. It appears that human activities have been directly responsible for many of the changes in the flora of the mainland reserves, while seabirds influence the plant cover of the islands. At Mersey Point, a large proportion of species appear to have been introduced by the dumping of garden rubbish. At Point Peron, the vegetation has been affected by frequent fires, so that fire-resistant species are favoured. On the islands, seabirds play a major role in determining the nature of the vegetation by virtue of their trampling and the guano that they deposit. The findings of this investigation provide a baseline for further monitoring and for evaluation of future management measures. Keywords: Shoalwater Bay, coastal vegetation, island vegetation, Western Australia Introduction Shoalwater Bay lies off the west coast at Rockingham, 50 km south of Perth.

A Vegetation Survey of the Islands of the Turquoise Coast from Dongara to Lancelin, South-Western Australia
AConservation vegetation survey Science of W.the Aust. islands 4 (1) from : 13–62 Dongara (2002) to Lancelin, south-western Australia 13 A vegetation survey of the islands of the Turquoise Coast from Dongara to Lancelin, south-western Australia GREG J. KEIGHERY1, JENI J. ALFORD2 AND VANDA LONGMAN1 1 Science Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia 6496. [email protected] 2 Mining Operations Division, Department of Minerals and Energy, 48 Brockman Street, Kalgoorlie, Western Australia 6430 ABSTRACT Thirty seven islands along the Turquoise Coast, the lower west coast of Western Australia between Dongara and Lancelin, were surveyed for vegetation and flora. One hundred and twenty one plant species were recorded from the islands. The richest islands were those with both sandy hills and limestone heath (North Boullanger Island with 62 plant species, Lancelin Island with 60 plant species, Escape Island with 60 plant species, Whitlock Island with 55 plant species, North Cervantes Island with 53 plant species and Boullanger Island with 50 plant species). The most widespread species was Nitraria billardierei, which was present on all of the islands surveyed, and the most common vegetation formations were heath, shrublands and herbfields. The vegetation of 14 of the islands had been previously studied thoroughly, and this survey found only Middle Essex Rocks to have fewer plant species than in previous studies; normally increases of 50–100 per cent were documented. Introduced species were common on all islands, but were mainly associated with disturbance caused by seabird colonies or human-made tracks (foot or vehicle).
