The Council expects that this Paper will provoke discussion Many people live and work in the region, many others retire and interest in the future of the region. It contains much there and, of course, many holiday there. It is one of the information gleaned from many sources and covers many State’s major tourist areas with attractions ranging from the issues which will interest stakeholders. We look forward to famous Great Ocean Road and some of the world’s finest further input from interested individuals and groups as we beaches to the beautiful hinterland with its waterfalls, prepare our Draft Proposals Paper and the Final Report to magnificent tall forests and ancient rainforest gullies. The go to the Minister. green and undulating farmlands, cleared with often heroic endeavour by the early settlers, are some of the richest and most picturesque agricultural lands in Australia. In September 2002, the State Government first gave the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council (VEAC) the task of making recommendations on whether the existing Dr Brian Robinson (Chairman) Angahook-Lorne State Park should be upgraded to a national park. Following commitments made during the election campaign in late 2002, the Government amended the Terms of Reference and in February 2003, the Council was asked to make boundary recommendations for a new national park including the existing Otway National Park Dr Sarah Ewing Dr David Mercer and the Angahook-Lorne State Park. The Council was also required to look at a number of other matters detailed in the Terms of Reference, particularly to recommend whether other parcels of land within the study area should be added to the park and reserve system. Mr Duncan Malcolm Mrs Eda Ritchie This Discussion Paper is the result of the work Council has done to date and will be followed by a Draft Proposals Paper in early 2004 and a Final Report to the Minister for the Environment in September 2004. Over 470 submissions were received by Council from members of the public and interest groups during the preparation of this Discussion Paper. These submissions contain a great deal of valuable information and represent the full range of community views on the future of public land use in the Otways. Many other Government agencies are also involved in future planning for the Otways. The development of the Great Ocean Road Region Strategy, the regional Catchment Management Strategy and strategies to manage tourist development in the area all rely heavily on community input and leadership. The Council is keenly aware of these strategic planning developments and work being done by local government and other bodies. Council will continue to work closely with these groups. The needs of people who live and work in the Otways and the possible effects of any proposed changes on their lives are of central concern to the Council. However, Council is also aware that all Victorians have an interest in and responsibility for the area. It is our task, with the assistance of both the local and broader communities, to consider all views and seek to develop recommendations that reflect the optimum combination of environmental, social and economic objectives for the area.

  • PROTEACEAE – It's All About Pollination
    PROTEACEAE – it’s all about pollination …….Gail Slykhuis Illustration Philippa Hesterman, images Ellinor Campbell & Marg McDonald A predominantly southern hemisphere plant family, Proteaceae is well represented in Australia, particularly in the West, but we do have our own equally special local representatives, some of which are outlined below. A characteristic feature of many genera within this plant family is the ‘pollen presenter’, which is a fascinating mechanism by which the pollen, which would otherwise be difficult to access for potential pollination vectors such as bees, birds and nectarivorous mammals, is positioned on the extended style of the flower, facilitating cross- pollination. The stigma, which is part of the style, is not mature at this time, thus avoiding self-pollination. A hand lens would enable you to clearly see pollen presenters on the following local representatives: Banksia marginata, Grevillea infecunda, Hakea spp., Isopogon ceratophyllus and Lomatia illicifolia. It is interesting to note that both Victorian Smoke-bush Conospermum mitchellii and Prickly Geebung Persoonia juniperina, also found in our district, do not have pollen presenters. Silver Banksia Banksia marginata This shrub or small tree is readily recognisable when flowering (Feb – July) by the conspicuous yellow pollen presenters, which are an obvious floral part of the banksia flower. These flowers then slowly mature into our iconic woody banksia cones. It is interesting to observe the changes in the nature of the pollen presenters as the flower develops. The white undersides of the leathery leaves provide a clue to the choice of common name with their tip being characteristically blunt or truncate. Anglesea Grevillea Grevillea infecunda One of our endemic plants, the Anglesea Grevillea was first named in 1986 and is Anglesea Grevillea found in several locations north west of Anglesea.

  • Phylogenetic Placement of the Enigmatic Orchid Genera Thaia and Tangtsinia: Evidence from Molecular and Morphological Characters
    TAXON 61 (1) • February 2012: 45–54 Xiang & al. • Phylogenetic placement of Thaia and Tangtsinia Phylogenetic placement of the enigmatic orchid genera Thaia and Tangtsinia: Evidence from molecular and morphological characters Xiao-Guo Xiang,1 De-Zhu Li,2 Wei-Tao Jin,1 Hai-Lang Zhou,1 Jian-Wu Li3 & Xiao-Hua Jin1 1 Herbarium & State Key Laboratory of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, P.R.

China 3 Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Menglun Township, Mengla County, Yunnan province 666303, P.R. China Author for correspondence: Xiao-Hua Jin, [email protected] Abstract The phylogenetic position of two enigmatic Asian orchid genera, Thaia and Tangtsinia, were inferred from molecular data and morphological evidence. An analysis of combined plastid data (rbcL + matK + psaB) using Bayesian and parsimony methods revealed that Thaia is a sister group to the higher epidendroids, and tribe Neottieae is polyphyletic unless Thaia is removed. Morphological evidence, such as plicate leaves and corms, the structure of the gynostemium and the micromorphol- ogy of pollinia, also indicates that Thaia should be excluded from Neottieae. Thaieae, a new tribe, is therefore tentatively established. Using Bayesian and parsimony methods, analyses of combined plastid and nuclear datasets (rbcL, matK, psaB, trnL-F, ITS, Xdh) confirmed that the monotypic genus Tangtsinia was nested within and is synonymous with the genus Cepha- lanthera, in which an apical stigma has evolved independently at least twice.

  • Introduction Methods Results
    Papers and Proceedings Royal Society ofTasmania, Volume 1999 103 THE CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS OF THE VEGETATION AND FLORA OF THE HUNTINGFIELD AREA, SOUTHERN TASMANIA by J.B. Kirkpatrick (with two tables, four text-figures and one appendix) KIRKPATRICK, J.B., 1999 (31:x): The characteristics and management problems of the vegetation and flora of the Huntingfield area, southern Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 133(1): 103-113. ISSN 0080-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University ofTasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted.

Draft from Designs On Nature; Up Your C 25 SEDGES, FOINS COUPANTS, LAÎCHES, ROUCHES, ROUCHETTES, & some mostly wet things in the sedge family. Because Bill Gates has been shown to eat footnotes (burp!, & enjoy it), footnotes are (italicized in the body of the text) for their protection. Someone who can spell caespitose only won way has know imagination. Much of the following is taken verbatim from other works, & often not credited. There is often not a way to paraphrase or rewrite habitat or descriptive information without changing the meaning. I am responsible for any mistakes in quoting or otherwise. This is a learning tool, & a continuation of an idea of my friend & former employer, Jock Ingels, LaFayette Home Nursery, who hoped to present more available information about a plant in one easily accessible place, instead of scattered though numerous sources. This is a work in perpetual progress, a personal learning tool, full uv misstakes, & written as a personal means instead of a public end. Redundant, repetitive, superfluous, & contradictory information is present. It is being consolidated. CYPERACEAE Sauergrasgewächse SEDGES, aka BIESIES, SEGGEN Formally described in 1789 by De Jussieu. The family name is derived from the genus name Cyperus, from the Greek kupeiros, meaning sedge. Many species are grass-like, being tufted, with long, thin, narrow leaves, jointed stems, & branched inflorescence of small flowers, & are horticulturally lumped with grasses as graminoids. Archer (2005) suggests the term graminoid be used for true grasses, & cyperoid be used for sedges. (If physical anthropologists have hominoids & hominids, why don’t we have graminoids & graminids?) There are approximately 104 genera, 4 subfamilies, 14 tribes, & about 5000 species worldwide, with 27 genera & 843 species in North America (Ball et al 2002).

    Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania AN ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPOSED STATE FOREST COUPE BG034A FOR SPECIES OF NATIVE ORCHID Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania (ECOtas) for Forest Practices Authority 20 September 2007 Mark Wapstra ABN 83 464 107 291 business ph.:(03) 62 513 212 28 Suncrest Avenue email: [email protected] personal ph.: (03) 62 283 220 Lenah Valley, TAS 7008 web: www.ecotas.com.au mobile ph.: 0407 008 685 ECOtas…providing options in environmental consulting ECOtas…providing options in environmental consulting Background, Scope and Purpose ECOtas was engaged to provide an assessment of the significance of proposed State forest coupe BG034A for Tasmanian native orchid species. This consultancy has arisen because Forestry Tasmania (Mersey District) proposes to subject BG034A to native forest silviculture. In correspondence (27 March 2007) between the Crowther family (who live immediately adjacent to the State forest) and Mr Bob Hamilton (Forestry Tasmania, Mersey District), the potential significance of this part of State forest for terrestrial native orchids was raised. Specifically, the Crowther family indicated that about 40 species of orchids have been found from within the proposed coupe area (and several more species in nearby areas), and the list provided in correspondence included three species currently listed on the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. The Forest Practices Authority engaged ECOtas to determine the significance of the proposed coupe, especially in regard to the potential of the area to support species of high conservation significance (e.g. legislatively listed species, species with unusual or disjunct distributions, etc.). The report is deliberately brief and is not intended to provide recommendations or management prescriptions for threatened flora.
