Vegetation Condition Benchmarks version 2 Non-Eucalypt Forest and Woodland NAD Acacia dealbata forest Community Description: Acacia dealbata forest is a successional community found on disturbed sites, e.g. on stream banks and riparian corridors subject to flood disturbance and replaces wet forests and damp sclerophyll forest after disturbance. The canopy is variable in cover, but is most often composed of pure A. dealbata trees that can reach 30 m in height. The understorey is variable reflecting the diverse disturbance situations in which the community arises.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

News from the Nursery We are madly propagating at the moment, with many thousands of new cuttings putting their roots out and seedlings popping their heads up above the propagating mix. It is always an exciting time, as we experiment with seed from new species – sometimes they work, and sometimes we understand why we’ve never grown them before... New plants should start being put out into the sales area soon – fresh-faced little things ready to pop into the ground! We have recently purchased a further block of land from the ex-neighbours Jubilee Nursery, now sadly closed, that will give us a lot more flexibility and the ability to grow and store more plants. As mentioned last newsletter we have done some major revamping in the garden. A lot of work by all the staff has led to a much more open garden with a lovely Westringia brevifolia hedge (well, it will be a hedge when it grows a bit), another Micrantheum hexandrum Cream Cascade hedge-to-be, lots of Correas, Lomatias and Baueras. Where we sell a few forms of a particular species we have tried to plant examples of each so that we can show you what they are like.

Structural and Floristic Variation in the Forest Communities of the West Tamar, Tasmania
Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 117, 1983. [ms. received 3.9.1982) STRUCTURAL AND FLORISTIC VARIATION IN THE FOREST COMMUNITIES OF THE WEST TAMAR, TASMANIA. by M.J. Brown and R.T. Buckney N.P.W.S., P.O. Box 210, Sandy Bay, Tas. 7005 and School of Life Sciences, N.S.W. Inst. Tech., P.O. Box 123, Broadway, N.S.W. 2007. (with three tables and five text-figures) ABSTRACT BROWN, M.J. & BUCKNEY, R.T., 1983 (31 viii): Structural and floristic variation in the forest communities of the West Tamar, Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm., 117: 135- 152. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.117.135 ISSN 0080-4703. National Parks & Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 210, Sandy Bay, Tasmania and School of Life Sciences, N.S.W. Institute of Technology, P.O. Box 123, Broadway, New South Wales. The forest communities in the West Tamar were sampled by a stratified random process using 55 plots selected after preliminary analy sis of 243 Forestry Commission continuous forest inventory plots, which occur in the area. A total of 13 floristic units were recognised and described. The relationship of the floristic units to changing water availability, drainage, soil fertility and fire frequency are assessed and the problems of structural versus floristic classifications of forest types are discussed. INTRODUCTION The dry forests of Tasmania occupy some of the most heavily utilised areas of the state. Clearing for agriculture and urban development, sawlog extraction, firewood getting and burning combined with stock grazing have all made their mark on this vegeta tion.

Lomatia Tasmanica
Lomatia tasmanica FAMILY: PROTEACEAE BOTANICAL NAME: Lomatia tasmanica, W.M.Curtis, Stud. Fl. Tasm. 3: 651 (1967) COMMON NAME: King’s lomatia COMMONWEALTH STATUS: (EPBC Act) Critically Endangered TASMANIAN STATUS: (TSP Act) endangered Lomatia tasmanica. A. Gray. Description A distinctive small tree, usually between 2-4 metres tall (sometimes up to 6-8 metres). This species is thin and spindly, usually branched at the top and may develop a leaning trunk with a few erect branches. The young stems and buds are densely covered in fine hairs. Lomatia tasmanica forms underground stems (rhizomes). Leaves: The leaves are green, shiny, shortly stalked, arranged alternately and crowded at the ends of the branches. They are either prickly-toothed or lobed and between 10-18 cm long and 2.5-4 cm broad (arranged like the barbs of a feather, with 7-10 pairs of stalkless leaflets). Flowers: The crimson flowers have yellow pollen sacs (anthers) and are arranged on stalks in succession along the stem (the oldest flower is usually at the base). They have 4 petal-like segments, hooded tips and are rather thick and fleshy. Fruit: Lomatia tasmanica is fascinating, as no fruit or seed has ever been found (both in wild specimens and those grown in the botanical gardens). Flowering has been observed to occur around January-February, however not annually. The population appears to be sustained by root suckering and coppice only (Lynch et al. 1998). Herbarium specimens have been collected from August to April. Distribution and Habitat This species is endemic to Tasmania and is restricted to Southwest Tasmania.

Thaddeus Zagorski University of Tasmania Date: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is not merely the achievement of a personal goal, but a culmination of a journey that started many, many years ago. As culmination it is also an impetus to continue to that journey. In achieving this personal goal many people, supervisors, friends, family and University colleagues have been instrumental in contributing to the final product. The initial motivation and inspiration for me to start this study was given by Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford, and my friend Alison Howman. For that challenge I thank you. I am deeply indebted to my three supervisors Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford and Dr. Aidan Davison. Each in their individual, concerted and special way guided me to this omega point.

That is except for 2 intrepid travellers who made a determined effort to be there ! Questions and answers: At this meeting all members attending will be encouraged to : discuss their successes in growing Australian plants, divulge special tips and tricks they have learned over the years, ask the difficult questions about why certain plants just don’t do what they are supposed, and maybe find a solution to a problem which continues to defy best efforts. Pests and diseases might also warrant discussion, but anyone who wishes to bring a live specimen of such, is asked to ensure it is well contained within a plastic bag. Jenny and Pete have enough of their own, and would not appreciate adding to their collection of problems. All members attending are welcome to bring along some plant specimens for discussion. Join in the fun of learning !, Australian Plant Society South East NSW Newsletter 126 March 2017 Page 1 In My Garden As the long, hot Summer drags on, we have been blessed with a few spots of rain.
