The tree, very common in Western Queensland, is often confused with Santalum lanceolatum R. Br., both trees being commonly referred to as sandalwood. Initial research was done through the School of Pharmacy, Griffith University, Gold Coast campus, QLD, Australia. It is considered somewhat invasive, though native to Australia, with over 215 species. Eremophilia mitchelli was named in 1848 by botanist George Bentham, after Sir Thomas Mitchell, who led the discovery expedition into Australia. No less than 17 species of Eremophila have roots in Aboriginal use. The species michelli is noted as having ‘general medicinal purposes’ Indicative Use: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY; NOT TO BE CONSUMED Bibliography: Barnes EC, et al. J Nat Prod. 2011 Sep 23;74(9):1888-93.

  • Shrubs Shrubs
    Shrubs Shrubs 86 87 biibaya Broom bush Language name biibaya (yuwaalaraay) Scientific name Melaleuca uncinata Plant location Shrubs The biibaya (Broom Bush) is widespread through mallee, woodland and forest in the western part of the Border Rivers and Gwydir catchments. It often grows on sandy soils. Plant description The biibaya is an upright shrub with many stems growing from the main trunk. It grows between 1 to 3 metres high. The bark on older stems is papery. It has long, thin leaves which look like the bristles on a broom. Many fruit join together in a cluster which looks like a globe. Traditional use Can you guess what this plant was used for from its common name? The stems and girran.girraa (leaves) of the biibaya provided a useful broom. Bungun (branches) can also be cut and dried for use in brush fences. Paperbark trees (plants belonging to the genus Melaleuca) had many other uses also. The papery nganda (bark) was used to wrap meat for cooking and as plates, as well as being used as bandages, raincoats, shelter, blankets, twine and many other things. The nectar from the gurayn (flowers) could be eaten or drunk, steeped in water, as a sweet drink. Crushing the girran.girraa provides oil. Young girran.girraa can be chewed, or pounded and mixed with water, to treat colds, respiratory complaints and headaches. This mixture was also used as a general tonic. Inhaling the steam from boiling or burning the leaves provides relief from cold, flu and sinusitis (Howell 1983, Stewart & Percival 1997). The gurayn were also used for decoration.

Academic Editor: Muraleedharan G. Nair Received: 1 November 2014 / Accepted: 10 February 2015 / Published: 3 March 2015 Abstract: This review is a comprehensive introduction to pertinent aspects of the extraction methodology, chemistry, analysis and pharmacology of essential oils, whilst providing a background of general organic chemistry concepts to readers from non-chemistry oriented backgrounds. Furthermore, it describes the historical aspects of essential oil research whilst exploring contentious issues of terminology. This follows with an examination of essential oil producing plants in the Australian context with particular attention to Aboriginal custom use, historical successes and contemporary commercial prospects. Due to the harsh dry environment of the Australian landmass, particularly to the cyclical climatic variation attendant upon repeated glaciation/post-glaciation cycles, the arid regions have evolved a rich assortment of unique endemic essential oil yielding plants. Though some of these aromatic plants (particularly myrtaceous species) have given birth to commercially valuable industries, much remains to be discovered. Given the market potential, it is likely that recent discoveries in our laboratory and elsewhere will lead to new product development.

  • Eremophila Study Group Newsle3ef2 No. 3 September 1973
    EREMOPHILA STUDY GROUP NEWSLE3EF2 NO. 3 SEPTEMBER 1973 It is six months since the last Newsletter and we have enrolled fifteen new members, with our membership now approaching 50. We have added several new species to the list of those in cultivation, and dispatched many parcels of cuttings and exchanged plants between members. The amount of work going on among the members whom I see regularly is most encouraging. SPECIES BUILDUP There is no doubt that we have a difficult genus to distribute as there is still no answer to seed germination. The problems involved in collection and packaging cuttings and the uncertainty in striking many species, especially for beginners, ore much greater ' than storing packets of seed on a shelf; yet despite this there are many more Eremophila now being grown than before the Group began operating. Even learners have been able to strike many of those suggested in Newsletter no. 2. Since February we have struck E. pachyphylla, E. parvifolia, and some still awaiting identification from my W.A. trip, and have built-up numbers of those which were represented by only very few specimens such as E. battii, E. bowmanii (round leaf), 5 eriabatrya, E. obovata, E. pentaptera, and E. punicea. It is unlikely that we will lose these species now. Added to the species list, but only represented by one or two plants, are E. gibsonii, E. spectabilis, and E. willsii. Several members have set cuttings of many species which are either new to culti- vation or in very limited numbers. Several of these resulted from a trip I was oble to make to Innamincka and south-west Queensland, while other specimens have been sent from W.A.

  • Eremophila Mitchellii
    Eremophila mitchellii Family: Scrophulariaceae Distribution: A variety of habitats in northern New South Wales and Queensland. Common False sandalwood, Budda. Name: Derivation of Eremophila...from Greek, eremos, desert and phileo, to Name: love, ie "desert loving", referring to the habitat of many of the species. mitchellii... After the explorer Sir Thomas Mitchell. Conservation Not considered to be at risk in the wild. Status: General Description: Eremophila is a large genus of 214 species, all endemic to Australia. They are generally plants of inland and arid areas and are popular with Australian plant enthusiasts. Eremophila mitchellii Photo: Keith Townsend Eremophila mitchellii is a large shrub or small tree to 10 metres high with flaky bark. The leaves are linear or lance-shaped up to 60 mm long by 5 mm wide with an acute, hooked apex. The flowers are usually white or cream but pale pink forms are known. They are about 10 - 18 mm long, tubular in shape and with spots within the throat. They occur in the leaf axils and are mainly seen in spring. The fruits are egg shaped and about 7 mm long. E.mitchellii is not widely cultivated but, like most eremophilas, it would be best suited to dry climates but should also be reasonably adaptable to more humid, temperate areas. It should grow on a variety of well drained soils, preferably in a sunny position. In some areas of Australia it is a serious pest of grazing land. The species is not permitted to be grown in Western Australia. Propagation from seed of Eremophila species is unreliable.

  • The Effects of Shrub Removal and Grazing on Vegetation and Soils in a Shrub-Encroached Australian Woodland
    The effects of shrub removal and grazing on vegetation and soils in a shrub-encroached Australian woodland Stefani Daryanto A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science February 2013 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Daryanto First name: Stefani Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Faculty: Science Sciences Title: The effects of shrub removal and grazing on vegetation and soils in a shrub-encroached Australian woodland Abstract 350 words maximum: Plant communities and soil properties in many dryland ecosystems have changed dramatically over the past century due to the proliferation of woody plants, caused largely by the introduction of livestock grazing, changes to natural fire regimes, and climate. Areas heavily encroached by shrubs are generally regarded as degraded, and this view is largely based on the fact that shrubs reduce pastoral productivity. There have been many attempts to remove shrubs in pastoral systems using chemical, biological and mechanical techniques to improve pastoral production. It remains unclear, however, whether shrubs per se or the interactions between grazing and climate are responsible for the putative reductions in pastoral productivity in shrub−encroached areas. This thesis examines the long−term ecological effects of mechanical shrub removal by blade−ploughing, with and without grazing, on vegetation and soils in shrub−encroached woodlands in eastern Australia. The results show that the combination of ploughing and grazing creates dramatic effects on soils and vegetation in this dryland system.

  • Lose the Plot: Cost-Effective Survey of the Peak Range, Central Queensland
    Lose the plot: cost-effective survey of the Peak Range, central Queensland. Don W. Butlera and Rod J. Fensham Queensland Herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha Road, Toowong, QLD, 4066 AUSTRALIA. aCorresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The Peak Range (22˚ 28’ S; 147˚ 53’ E) is an archipelago of rocky peaks set in grassy basalt rolling-plains, east of Clermont in central Queensland. This report describes the flora and vegetation based on surveys of 26 peaks. The survey recorded all plant species encountered on traverses of distinct habitat zones, which included the ‘matrix’ adjacent to each peak. The method involved effort comparable to a general flora survey but provided sufficient information to also describe floristic association among peaks, broad habitat types, and contrast vegetation on the peaks with the surrounding landscape matrix. The flora of the Peak Range includes at least 507 native vascular plant species, representing 84 plant families. Exotic species are relatively few, with 36 species recorded, but can be quite prominent in some situations. The most abundant exotic plants are the grass Melinis repens and the forb Bidens bipinnata. Plant distribution patterns among peaks suggest three primary groups related to position within the range and geology. The Peak Range makes a substantial contribution to the botanical diversity of its region and harbours several endemic plants among a flora clearly distinct from that of the surrounding terrain. The distinctiveness of the range’s flora is due to two habitat components: dry rainforest patches reliant upon fire protection afforded by cliffs and scree, and; rocky summits and hillsides supporting xeric shrublands.
