Banksia vincentia (Proteaceae), a new species known from fourteen plants from south-eastern New South Wales, Australia MARGARET L. STIMPSON1, JEREMY J. BRUHL1 & PETER H. WESTON2 1 Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351 Australia Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] 2 National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia Abstract Possession of hooked, distinctively discolorous styles, a broadly flabellate common bract subtending each flower pair, and a lignotuber place a putative new species, Banksia sp. Jervis Bay, in the B. spinulosa complex. Phenetic analysis of individuals from all named taxa in the B. spinulosa complex, including B. sp. Jervis Bay, based on leaf, floral, seed and bract characters support recognition of this species, which is described here as Banksia vincentia M.L.Stimpson & P.H.Weston. Known only from fourteen individuals, B. vincentia is distinguished by its semi-prostrate habit, with basally prostrate, distally ascending branches from the lignotuber, and distinctive perianth colouring. Its geographical location and ecological niche also separate it from its most similar congeners. Introduction The Banksia spinulosa complex has a complicated taxonomic history (Table 1). Smith (1793) first described and named B. spinulosa Sm., and subsequent botanists named two close relatives, B. collina R.Br. and B.

  • Plant Lists, a Common Sense Guide
    Plant Lista common sense guide Careful plant selection is the key to creating a healthy and easy to maintain landscape. This guide will help you choose plants adapted to the Northwest. Plants on this list are either low-water use, resistant to insects and diseases or native to western Washington. Many Northwest gardens include non-native and native plants, which provide the gardens with beautiful foliage, patterns and textures. This guide also highlights plants selected by the Great Plant Picks program by using a leaf symbol. Great Plant Picks is a regional plant awards program designed to help the home gardener identify unbeatable plants for maritime Pacific Northwest gardens. It is sponsored by the Elizabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden. For more information visit www.greatplantpicks.org. Every time you plant, fertilize, water or control pests in your garden, choose methods that protect your pets and your family’s health.

  • Lesson 4 Designing a Wildlife Garden
    Lesson 4: Design a Wildlife Garden Teaching Instructions Learning Outcomes • Communicate: take part in conversation, share ideas and information. • Improve their understanding of the needs of living organisms, conservation and biodiversity. • Explore ways to represent ideas and information as a plan. • Outdoor teaching provides a real-world context for learning, supports emotional and physical well-being, impacts positively on self-esteem and increases knowledge of and care for the natural environment. Required Resources Plain paper (A3 or larger) Coloured pencils, felt pens Access to computers and the internet for researching wildlife gardens. Preparation Arrange the desks for group work (2-4 people per group) Notes Lesson duration: We would recommend spending 120 – 180 minutes. You may want to split the activities into a series of lessons. * Buglife has provided notes, at the end of this lesson, to help you with the essential features of a wildlife garden. 1 Lesson 4: Design a Wildlife Garden Teaching Instructions Teaching Plan Activity 1 - Discussion Start the lesson by asking the children what we mean by a wildlife garden. Can a conventional garden be a wildlife garden? Why do we need to create wildlife gardens? (natural habitats declining). What wildlife would use the garden? What would the wildlife require from the garden? Food, water, shelter – and how would the features of the garden meet these needs? Activity 2 - Design a Wildlife Garden Ask the children to research what makes a good wildlife garden using books and the internet and to discuss, in their groups, what they want to include in their garden. Will it be solely for wildlife or will they include elements for the humans as well? They should then make a plan of the garden, labelling the different features.

    BEANS, BOATS AND ARCHAEOBOTANY. A NEW TRANSLATION OF PHASOLUS OR WHY THE ROMANS ATE NEITHER KIDNEY BEANS NOR COWPEAS F.B.J. HEINRICH1 & D.A. WILKINS2 1 Laboratory for Palaeobotany and Palynology, Groningen Institute of Archaeology, Groningen, the Netherlands 2 The Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn, London, the United Kingdom ABSTRACT: Among classicists, archaeobotanists and agricultural historians, the meaning of the word phasolus (ϕασηλος in Greek) is ambiguous. While Latin scholars have agreed that the word refers to a type of pulse or bean, there are various interpretations and subsequent identifications as to which botanical species is meant. The current paper aims to address this ambiguity by assessing the validity of the proposed interpretations. This will be done on three levels. First, the a priori feasibility of the interpretations will be ascertained. Second, all classical mentions of phasolus, both in Greek and Latin, will be reviewed and analysed. The aim of this step is to find what biological traits and characteristics were associated with phasolus, which may aid in confirming or rebuking an identification. Thirdly, we will assess the archaeobotanical evidence pertaining to the proposed interpretations for the Roman period. This paper includes the assessment of several classical sources previously absent from the debate as well as a new botanical identification of a key archaeobotanical sample previously used to prove the presence of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) in the Mediterranean during Antiquity.

Riverside County has multiple Sunset Zones as well as microclimates within those zones which can affect plant viability and mature size. As such, plants and use categories listed herein are not exhaustive, nor do they constitute automatic approval; all proposed plant material is subject to review by the County. In some cases where a broad genus or species is called out within the list, there may be multiple species or cultivars that may (or may not) be appropriate. The specific water needs and sizes of cultivars should be verified by the designer. Site specific conditions should be taken into consideration in determining appropriate plant material. This includes, but is not limited to, verifying soil conditions affecting erosion, site specific and Fire Department requirements or restrictions affecting plans for fuel modifications zones, and site specific conditions near MSHCP areas.
