    Conservation Science W. Aust. 7 (1) : 105–120 (2008) Flora and vegetation of banded iron formations of the Yilgarn Craton: Mount Gibson and surrounding area RACHEL MEISSNER AND YVETTE CARUSO Science Division, Department of Environment and Conservation, PO Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia, 6946. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT A total of 243 taxa, 233 native and 10 weeds, were recorded from study of the flora and plant communities of the Mount Gibson Range and surrounding ironstone ranges on the Ninghan pastoral lease, 60 km southeast of Paynes Find. Seven priority flora, one declared rare flora and one new species were identified during the study. Fifty quadrats were established to cover the geomorphology, floristic variation and geographical variation across the ranges. Data from these quadrats were used to define seven community types. Geography and landscape morphology separated the communities, with four communities found only on the Mount Gibson Range. Of these four, two had restricted distributions within the range. None of the ranges are currently reserved in the conservation estate. INTRODUCTION geology of the Mount Gibson area is complex and composed of several fold belts. The Retaliation Belt is Banded Iron Formation (BIF) ranges within the Yilgarn represented mainly by the Mount Gibson Range and is Craton are highly prospective for iron ore exploration and comprised of banded iron formations and cherts in the mining. Previous studies on ironstone and greenstone lower sedimentary association, bounded by volcanic flows ranges in the Goldfields have found high plant endemicity with marker bands of banded ironstone formation. The and restricted plant communities and it is thought that Yandhanoo Hills and small hills near Warro Well (Figure these patterns may also be found on the ranges in the 1) are part of the Yandhanoo Belt.

  • Central Coast Group Australian Daisies
    Central Coast Group PO Box 1604, Gosford NSW 2250 austplants.com.au/Central-Coast Australian Daisies Introduction The Australian daisy family of plants is very large with over 900 species, though some are not suitable for cultivation. The flower of the daisy consists of a collection of small one-seeded, stalk-less flowers (disc florets). Surrounding the disc florets is a ring of what looks like petals, (ray florets); their main purpose is to attract insect pollinators. Brachyscome Growing daisies Daisies look best when planted in groups or drifts in the garden, creating a sea of colour. An open sunny position will suit most, but there are some that prefer a shady spot such as Brachyscome formosa, Pilliga Daisy or Brachyscome iberidifolia. Well-drained but moist soils are usually required, with a few that grow in very wet locations. Brachyscome segmentosa and Brachyscome diversifolia are both suitable for growing in a bog garden. All daisies like to be regularly fed with a general all-purpose fertilizer. The perennial species enjoy a thick layer of mulch covering their root systems. However, if the same organic mulch is used around the annual species, there will be little if any self– seeding. Use sand or gravel as a mulch around annual daisies to allow for self-seed germination. BEWARE: Slugs and snails love tender young daisy seedlings, so use a suitable baiting program.

NATURAL RECRUITMENT OF NATIVE FORBS IN THE GRASSY ECOSYSTEMS OF SOUTH-EASTERN AUSTRALIA Thesis for Master of Science By Randall William Robinson May 2003 Principal supervisor: Dr Colin Hocking Sustainability Group Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology VICTORIA UNIVERSITY STA THESIS 582.12740994 ROB 30001007974142 Robinson, Randall William Natural recruitment of native forbs in the grassy ecosystems of south-eastern Abstract As for many lowland grassy ecosystem forbs in South-eastern Australia, the recruitment dynamics of the grassland forbs Podolepis sp. 1 sensu Jeanes 1999 (Basalt Podolepis) and Bulbine semibarbata perennial form (Leek Lily) are unknown. Podolepis sp. 1 and B. semibarbata were used as models of recruitment for a range of similar forb species. In vitro trials of P. sp. 1, 6. semibarbata and an additional 16 grassy ecosystem forb species assessed germinability, germination lag time, germination speed and duration of emergence in relation to light and dark treatments. In vivo trials assessed recruitment from seed as well as field survival of several age classes of transplants, and how there were affected by soil disturbance and invertebrate herbivory over a 50-week period. In vitro germination for most species was unspecialised with germination rates greater than 50 percent. Light was a significant or neutral factor for the majority of species but negatively affected several. Survival of juvenile and semi-mature plants of P. sp. 1 and B. semibarbata were achieved in the field, along with high levels of recruitment from seed in some instances, overcoming previous lack of success in recruitment and survival of these lowland grassy ecosystem forb species.

    ISSN 0818 - 335X March, 1993 ASSOCIATION OF SOCIETIES FOR GROWING AUSTRALIAN PLANTS THE AUSTRALIAN DAISY STUDY GROUP NEWSLETTER N0.35 Dear Members, I have just returned from a long weekend at Mount Hotham. Five ADSG members joined a walking group and once again our alpine sojourn was marred by weather. We arrived on a day of 40'C and left in dense fog. We had one good morning of walking and botanising and thereafter intermittent rain storms, sunshine and mist. The daisies were near their peak - lush and floriferous - celmisias in dense clumps as white as fresh snow and Brachyscome nivalis in innumerable tufts scattered over the slopes. B. spathulata and B.rigidula were still in bud, but B.decipien.5 was in full flower, hiding among the grasses. Craspedias were yet to reveal their full glory, but there were enough in flower to check out the new names . In November ADSG took part in a week-long seminar 'Towards a better understanding of Australian plants' at Kawarra Gardens, Kalorama in Victoria. It was a seminar for professional landscapers, architects, local government employees, the nursery and floriculture industries and the native plant enthusiasts. The daisy display set up by Judy Barker was a drawcard and was admired by the participants, agog at the variety in the Asteraceae family. Thank you, Judy, for your continuing selfless support to the Group, and especially for three long treks up the mountain. Bev Courtney demonstrated the propagation of daisies and drew a large, appreciative audience as her considerable skills in this field are widely recognised.

Naturforsch. 60c, 671Ð678 (2005); received May 19, 2005 Three members of the tribe Gnaphalieae and six members of the tribe Inuleae (Astera- ceae) were analyzed for their exudate flavonoids. Whereas some species exhibit rather trivial flavonoids, others produce rare compounds. Spectral data of rare flavonoids are reported and their structural identification is discussed. 6-Oxygenation of flavonols is a common feature of two Inula species and Pulicaria sicula. By contrast, flavonoids with 8-oxygenation, but lacking 6-oxygenation, are common in two out of three Gnaphalieae species examined. In addition, B-ring deoxyflavonoids are abundantly present in the leaf exudates of Helichrysum italicum (Gnaphalieae). These distinctive features of the two Asteraceae tribes are in agreement with previous flavonoid surveys of these and related taxa. Key words: Gnaphalieae, Inuleae, Flavonoids Introduction in the flowering stage between October 1997 and Plants belonging to the sunflower family are August 2004.

  • Reliable Daisies for the Sydney Region Some People Think That Native Plants Are Straggly and Boring
    Reliable daisies for the Sydney region Some people think that native plants are straggly and boring. You only need to look at the beautiful variety of Australia daisies to see that this is just not so . They grow quickly and flower over a long period of time and there is a place for them in every garden. Australian daisies are members of the Asteraceae family, a diverse family of plants comprising about 20,000 species worldwide. In Australia there are almost 1,000 indigenous species comprising shrubs, sub shrubs, perennial herbs, annuals and a few biennials. Approximately 110 of these occur naturally in the Sydney region . Each daisy has the appearance of a single flower, but is actually composed of up to hundreds of individual flowers. Most have disc florets in the centre and ray florets on the outside. Daisies are decorative plants and have many uses in the garden as rockery plants, spill over plans on low walls, borders, groundcovers and impots, baskets and window boxes. Using the different forms of Brachyscome multifida, it is possible to create an interesting mosaic of mauves, purples, whites and pinks. There are too many Australian daisies to generalise about the growing conditions they enjoy. Some prefer full sun, others like shade, some like open conditions, others prefer overhead protection. There are daisies for all soils from clay to sand, wet to dry. Growth will usually be improved if the soil is well drained, enriched with organic matter (for strong healthy plants) and slightly acid with many daisies. Too much fertiliser can result in weak sappy growth, so apply the fertiliser sparingly.

  • Final Report on the Australian Flora Foundation Funded Project the COLLECTION and EVALUATION of DAISIES (TRIBE INULEAE) with HORTICULTURAL POTENTIAL
    Final report on the Australian Flora Foundation funded project THE COLLECTION AND EVALUATION OF DAISIES (TRIBE INULEAE) WITH HORTICULTURAL POTENTIAL K.V. Sharman1 and R. Dowling2 Introduction A planned field trip to western Queensland to collect seed of potential species was aborted due to poor autumn rains and general drought conditions during 1992. Research was therefore limited to seed obtained from commercial seed suppliers. A major review of the Asteraceae has also been published since the commencement of this research and as a result many name changes have taken place. The germination requirements of twenty seven species were evaluated at Redlands Research Station and these are listed in Table 1 along with synonyms where appropriate. Materials and methods Test seed was stored for a minimum of six months at room temperature prior to treatment. Germination trials were conducted in 9 cm petri dishes lined with two Whatman No. 1 filter papers on laboratory benches in ambient temperature conditions. A minimum of three and maximum of six species were evaluated in each of five germination trials. Each trial was a completely randomised design of three germination treatments; intact seed treated with water, scarified seed treated with water, and intact seed treated with gibberellic acid, with two light levels (light and dark) and five replicate petri dishes of 15 seeds, for each species evaluated. Seeds were moistened with either 5 ml distilled water or 500 mg/1 GA3 solution. Both solutions contained 0.2% Thiram fungicide (Amalgamated Chemicals). Seeds were scarified by piercing the seed coat with a dissecting needle to expose a portion of the endosperm.

DEC will continue to adhere to these Policy Statements until they are revised and reissued. IRP’s outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of Critically Endangered (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from February 2008 to January 2013 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full Recovery Plan assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 17 January 2008 and approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 6 February 2008. The allocation of staff time and provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities.
