RECOMMENDED LANDSCAPE PLANT LIST LANDSCAPE PLANTS RECOMMENDED FOR THE COPPER COAST REGION Landscaping Policy DEV003 – Attachment 1 PLANTS RECOMMENDED FOR THE COPPER COAST REGION INTRODUCTION This list was compiled by the Copper Coast Council after consultation with a number of plant growers in the Copper Coast region. Organisations consulted included; The Kadina Growing Company Peninsula Nursery Narunga Aboriginal Progress Association Northern Yorke Peninsula Australian Plants Society Factors that were considered when selecting plants for this list included; Suitability to local conditions Sustainability with minimum or no supplementary irrigation Growth characteristics, (plants that are likely to become weeds if they escape into the natural environment have been avoided) Availability It is important to choose the plant that not only possesses the form and function you require, but also suits the conditions that you can provide. The list contains both native and non-native plants. The list is intended to recommend plants that will grow in the Copper Coast region under normal conditions. It is not a complete list of plants that will grow in the region and is not intended to be. The list will be updated on a regular basis as different plants are recommended to Council that meet the required criteria. It is anticipated that the list will be of assistance to developers, landscapers and property owners. A Coastal Garden that displays plants that are suited to front line coastal conditions, second line coastal conditions and the dune environment has been established on the foreshore adjacent to the corner of Riley Road and The Esplanade, North Beach Township. The garden is a living demonstration of plants suited for gardens in a coastal environment. Landscaping Policy DEV003 – Attachment 1 CONTENTS TREES SHRUBS/PLANTS TO 1 METRE IN HEIGHT 1.

Adelaide Bot. Gard. 1(2): 127-130 (1977) A NATURALLY OCCURRING PUTATIVE INTERSPECIFIC HYBRID IN EREMOPHILA (MYOPORACEAE) R. J. Chinnock State Herbarium, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 and P. Hudson 13 James Street, Whyalla Norrie, South Australia 5608 Abstract A naturally occurring putative hybrid betweenEremophila oppositifoliaR.Br. andE. scoparia (R.Br.) F.Muell. was found at Whyalla, South Australia. The hybrid is morphologically intermediate in most characters between the two species and has a much increased pollen sterility. Illustrations, and a tabulated comparison, of the more important vegetative, floral and fruit features are provided for the hybrid and its parents. Introduction In June 1976, when assisting in the erection of a fence to enclose the newly established fauna park just west of Whyalla, one of the authors (P. H.) noted an Eremophila close to the western fenceline. The solitary plant was growing in association with Eremophila scoparia ( R. Br.) F. Muell. and E. oppositifolia R.Br. var. oppositifolia in an open Acacia sowdenii woodland on red sandy clay loam. Other common shrubs included A triplex vesicaria Hew. ex Benth.

    Las Especies Del Género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) Cultivadas En España

    Las especies del género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) cultivadas en España © 2008-2019 José Manuel Sánchez de Lorenzo-Cáceres www.arbolesornamentales.es El género Alyogyne Alef. comprende arbustos perennes, con indumento denso o de pelos esparcidos, con las hojas alternas, pecioladas, enteras, palmatilobadas o muy divididas, con estípulas diminutas y caedizas. Las flores son solitarias, axilares, sobre pedicelos largos y articulados. El epicáliz posee 4-10(-12) segmentos unidos en la base; el cáliz consta de 5 sépalos, más largos que el epicáliz, y la corola es más o menos acampanada, regular, formada por 5 pétalos obovados de color blan- co, rosa, lila o púrpura, adnatos a la base de la columna estaminal, cubiertos de pelos estrellados externamente. El androceo posee numerosos estambres (50-100) dispuestos en verticilos, con los filamentos unidos formando una columna que rodea al estilo, y las anteras uniloculares, dehiscentes por suturas longitudinales. El gineceo posee un ovario súpero, con 3-5 lóculos, cada uno de los cuales encierra 3-10 rudimentos seminales. Los estilos están unidos casi hasta el ápice, dividiéndose finalmente en 5 estigmas. El fruto es una cápsula dehis- cente por 3-5 valvas, conteniendo numerosas semillas (3-50) de pequeño tamaño, reniformes o globosas, glabras o pelosas. El nombre procede del griego alytos = unido y gyne = mujer, en alu- sión a los estilos unidos. Según Lewton (1915), el nombre debería ser Allogyne, del griego állos = otro, diferente y gyne = mujer, hembra, en alusión a la diferencia con Hibiscus en cuanto a los estilos. Realmente esta es la gran diferencia con el género Hibiscus, donde los estilos se separan por debajo de los estigmas, mientras que en Alyogyne están unidos justo hasta llegar a los estig- mas, momento en que se dividen.

    The Pharmacological and Therapeutic Importance of Eucalyptus Species Grown in Iraq

    IOSR Journal Of Pharmacy www.iosrphr.org (e)-ISSN: 2250-3013, (p)-ISSN: 2319-4219 Volume 7, Issue 3 Version.1 (March 2017), PP. 72-91 The pharmacological and therapeutic importance of Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq Prof Dr Ali Esmail Al-Snafi Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, Thi qar University, Iraq Abstract:- Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq were included Eucalyptus bicolor (Syn: Eucalyptus largiflorens), Eucalyptus griffithsii, Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Syn: Eucalyptus rostrata) Eucalyptus incrassate, Eucalyptus torquata and Eucalyptus microtheca (Syn: Eucalyptus coolabahs). Eucalypts contained volatile oils which occurred in many parts of the plant, depending on the species, but in the leaves that oils were most plentiful. The main constituent of the volatile oil derived from fresh leaves of Eucalyptus species was 1,8-cineole. The reported content of 1,8-cineole varies for 54-95%. The most common constituents co-occurring with 1,8- cineole were limonene, α-terpineol, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, globulol and α , β and ϒ-eudesmol, and aromatic constituents. The pharmacological studies revealed that Eucalypts possessed gastrointestinal, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, insecticidal, repellent, oral and dental, dermatological, nasal and many other effects. The current review highlights the chemical constituents and pharmacological and therapeutic activities of Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq. Keywords: Eucalyptus species, constituents, pharmacological, therapeutic I. INTRODUCTION: In the last few decades there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine. It is getting popularized in developing and developed countries owing to its natural origin and lesser side effects. Plants are a valuable source of a wide range of secondary metabolites, which are used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavours, fragrances, colours, biopesticides and food additives [1-50].

I have been awaiting material for inclusion, however, it has not arrived and I am left with delaying further or having to compile it with limited resources. The list of species eremophilas has created some interest outside of the Study Group. I have had several requests for it and have been able to make contacts with people who were previously unaware of the existence of the Group. I will make further reference to the ASGAP Conference in a separate item, however, I do wish to acknowledge the sterling conlributions of Chris Strachan, who supplied a large collection of cut flowers for the display and of Norma Boschen, who with her husband Keith, helped with their cut flowers and potted plants, as well as spending a good deal of time assisting with the construction of the display and with being present on the Tuesday night to help with information etc. Also I would like to thank my wife Mymie for her great contribution at all times. I had hoped to make some analysis of the census returns, however, 1 dm at the moment not quite sure what is relevant and what is not. You will find below a listing of the ten most popularly grown species. I hope to compile a state by state summary for the next issue of the Newsletter.
