THE AUSTRALIAN GENUS GUNNIOPSIS PAX R. J. Chinnock
J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 6(2): 133-179 (1983) THE AUSTRALIAN GENUS GUNNIOPSIS PAX (AIZ OACEAE) R. J. Chinnock State Herbarium of South Australia, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, 5000 Abstract Gunniopsis, which includes all Australian species previously included in Aizoon L. and Neogunnia Fax & Hoffm., is revised. Fourteen species are recognised and G. calcarea, G. calva, G. divisa, G. papillata, G. propin qua, G. rubra and G. tenuifolia are described as new. Two new combinations, G. kochii and G. septifraga are made. All species are illustrated and distribution maps and ecological data are provided. Gunniopsis is compared with Aizoon L. and Aizoanthemum Dinter ex Friedr., two African genera with which Gunniopsis has previously been compared or considered synonymous. Pollen, capsule and seed characters are discussed and illustrated. The majority of Gunniopsis species appear to be protandrous outcrossers, while a few are autogamous. Introduction The Australian species which have been previously referred to the genera Aizoon L., Gunniopsis Pax, Gunnia F. Muell. and Neogunnia Pax & Hoffmann are small succulent shrubs or herbs which are widespread throughout the eremaean zones of Western and South Australia with a few species extending into the adjacent portions of the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales. With the exception of the shrubby Gunniopsis quadrifida which is very widespread and an important component of succulent shrublands in many areas, especially on saline soils in salt lake systems, most of the species have been poorly understood taxonomically. Doubt over the exact number of species found in Western Australia, for example, has resulted in considerable confusion. Gardner in his 1930 census listed six species under Gunniopsis and Gunnia, Blackall & Grieve (1954) included four under Gunniopsis and Gunnia while Green (1981) listed five under Aizoon, Gunniopsis and Neogunnia. -
Place Names of South Australia: W
W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them. SheaoakLog ispassable... as it has an interesting historical association connectedwith it. But what shall we say for Skillogolee Creek? Are we ever to be reminded of thin gruel days at Dotheboy’s Hall or the parish poor house.

Lake Gairdner National Park Draft Management Plan 2019 Minister’Syour Views Foreword Are?????? Important
Lake Gairdner National Park Draft Management Plan 2019 Minister’sYour views Foreword are?????? important ????The Lake Gairdner National Park Co-management Board has developed this plan so that people can express their views about the future management of Lake Gairdner National Park. The Lake Gairdner National Park Draft Management Plan is now released for public comment in accordance with Section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. I encourage you to make a submission on this draft plan. Submissions received will assist in the development of a final management plan for the park. Once prepared, the final plan will be forwarded to the Minister for Environment and Water for adoption, together with a detailed analysis of submissions. The Lake Gairdner National Park Co-management Boad encourages all interested people to have their say by making a submission on this draft plan. Guidelines for making a submission can be found on page 15. John Schutz Director of National Parks and Wildlife Cultural sensitivity warning Aboriginal people are warned that this publication may contain culturally sensitive material. 1 Developing this draft plan In 2011, the Federal Court of Australia formally recognised a group of foundational families made up of some, but not all, of the Barngala, Kokatha and Wirangu people as the native title holders over land encompassing Lake Gairdner National Park. This prompted the Gawler Ranges Aboriginal Corporation and the South Australian Government to enter into a co-management agreement for the park, forming the Lake Gairdner National Park Co-management Board. One of the Board’s initial priorities was to review the park management plan which had been in place since 2004. -

Kingoonya Soil Conservation Board District Plan
KINGOONYA SOIL CONSERVATION BOARD DISTRICT PLAN KINGOONYA SOIL CONSERVATION BOARD NOVEMBER 2002 Produced with the assistance of the National Landcare Program and Primary Industries and Resources SA ii FOREWORD In her foreword to our first District Plan in 1996, then Chairperson Kate Gibson wrote: “Through our District Plan the Kingoonya Soil Conservation Board (SCB) is providing a reference document to all interested people. This document, it is hoped, will provide all land users with information important for the continuance of viable and sustainable industries while maintaining and improving the natural vegetation and soils. The Board wishes to stress that the District Plan provides guidelines for sustainable land use and is not a document which imposes regulations. This District Plan will be reviewed every three years and will take into account changing and improved land management practices. As land users in this District, we have an interest in taking charge of our own destiny. It behoves us therefore, to inform, help and educate all land users to manage the land in a sustainable way and to appreciate the country of which we are the current custodians. We take this opportunity to remind land users that the duty of care for the land rests with them, and that it is crucial the land be used within its capability so that its productivity is maintained for use by future generations.” Our first edition will stand as a tribute to Kate, who contributed greatly to this District in many spheres. This first review should reflect and contribute to the increasing knowledge and understanding of the area. -
