Acacia Lasiocarpa Var Plants of the West Coast family: fabaCeae Acacia lasiocarpa var. lasiocarpa PANJANG Benth. Flowering period: May–October. Description: A highly variable species ranging from a dense, low shrub to 15 cm (in exposed sites) to 1 m in protected swales. The distinctive bipinnate (divided) leaves comprise 2–6 leaflets with highly distinctive rolled margins (a distinguishing characteristic from the closely related prickly moses, Acacia pulchella). Stems are hairy and each leaf has two prominent spines. The seed pod is up to 10 cm long with distinctive thickened margins. Each pod produces 10 or more black seeds with a distinctive aril (food body) thought to attract seed dispersal agents. Pollination: Open pollinated by a wide variety of non-specific insects. Distribution: From Kalbarri to Bunbury where the species favours primary to secondary dunes and limestone outcrops usually in swales or protected by other heathland or shrubby species. Often a conspicuous species at flowering time when the plant will be covered in flowers, particularly noticeable in low coastal heathland. Propagation: Grow from seed collected in November–December. Seed should be hot water treated or mildly abraded with fine sandpaper. Sow in a free-draining soil mix, keep moist, and if possible incorporate a small amount of soil taken from around Habit the parent plant to facilitate transfer of beneficial Rhizobium bacteria that assist in nitrogen fixation for the plant. Uses in restoration: A useful species that establishes well if protected from exposure to high winds. An attractive species flowering in winter, which may be incorporated as a focal species in restoration. Plant with other low-growing species, such as Melaleuca systena, Templetonia retusa and Leucophyta brownii, as panjang can easily R. Barrett Branches and pods be overgrown by more vigorous species. Notes: Gloves are advisable when collecting seed to protect from the spines that cover the plant. R. Barrett Flowers Distribution 66 67.

  • Ecological Filters to Seedling Establishment for Restoration in a Mediterranean Climate
    Ecological filters to seedling establishment for restoration in a Mediterranean climate Lauren M. Hallett B.Sc. (Biology), Yale University, USA This thesis is presented for the degree of Masters of Science by Research in Natural Resources The University of Western Australia School of Plant Biology 2010 ii Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research conducted during my period of enrollment at the University of Western Australia. It has not previously been submitted for a degree at this or any other university. As stated in the Acknowledgements, my ideas and research approach have been shaped through interactions with many people. However, any work done jointly with supervisors or co- workers is stated below: Chapter Two: This paper is in preparation for Restoration Ecology by myself with co- authors Justin Jonson, Rachel Standish and Richard Hobbs. It makes use of a restoration site designed and managed by Justin Jonson, and I developed the experimental design and collected the data jointly with him. I developed the questions, conducted the analysis and wrote the manuscript with the guidance of Rachel Standish and Richard Hobbs. Chapter Three: This paper is in preparation for Plant Ecology by myself with co-authors Rachel Standish and Richard Hobbs. I developed the questions, designed the experiment and analyzed the data with their guidance. Lauren M. Hallett iii iv Abstract Ecological filters are abiotic factors, such as limited rainfall, and biotic factors, such as competition, that over time reduce the number of species that can survive at a given site. The filters acting on a restoration site generally differ from those acting on a naturally regenerating community.

  • Molecular Phylogeny and Diversification History of Prosopis

With 6 figures Molecular phylogeny and diversification history of Prosopis (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) SANTIAGO ANDRÉS CATALANO1*, JUAN CÉSAR VILARDI1, DANIELA TOSTO1,2 and BEATRIZ OFELIA SAIDMAN1 1Departamento de Ecología Genética y Evolución, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Buenos Aires. Intendente Güiraldes 2160, Ciudad Universitaria, C1428EGA - Capital Federal, Argentina. 2Instituto de Biotecnología, CICVyA INTA Castelar, CC 25 Castelar 1712, Argentina Received 29 December 2006; accepted for publication 31 May 2007 The genus Prosopis is an important member of arid and semiarid environments around the world. To study Prosopis diversification and evolution, a combined approach including molecular phylogeny, molecular dating, and character optimization analysis was applied. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred from five different molecular markers (matK-trnK, trnL-trnF, trnS-psbC, G3pdh, NIA). Taxon sampling involved a total of 30 Prosopis species that represented all Sections and Series and the complete geographical range of the genus. The results suggest that Prosopis is not a natural group. Molecular dating analysis indicates that the divergence between Section Strombocarpa and Section Algarobia plus Section Monilicarpa occurred in the Oligocene, contrasting with a much recent diversification (Late Miocene) within each of these groups. The diversification of the group formed by species of Series Chilenses, Pallidae, and Ruscifoliae is inferred to have started in the Pliocene, showing a high diversification rate. The moment of diversification within the major lineages of American species of Prosopis is coincident with the spreading of arid areas in the Americas, suggesting a climatic control for diversification of the group.
