JULY Speaker Doug Bickerton gave an enlightening power-point presentation on the DEH threatened species program which includes two species of orchids. Some of the other plants were found in the vast areas of the aridlands where study was affected by weather and poor records. 53 FOR YOUR INFORMATION - NOSSA NEWS NOSSA SPRING SHOW 22-23 SEPTEMBER 2007 St Bernadettes Hall, South Road, St Marys Plants for display and sale can be taken to St Bernadette’s Hall on Friday 21st September between the hours of 1pm and 8pm. Entries in the Floral Art section have until 10am Saturday to complete their arrangements. Nomination forms will NOT be required. All plants will be judged. If you have not owned the plant for six months or more or you do not wish your plant to be judged please indicate by placing the letters NFJ on your plant label attached to the plant. Judging will commence at 8am on Saturday 22nd. The show will be open to the public from 10am. Plants damaged in transit to the show should display a blue streamer on the pot. Parts of the damaged plant, i.e. flowers that have been broken off, must be placed on the top of the pot. The details must be written on the “Damaged Plant List” held at the judging table; if this is done the plant will be judged in the normal way. Orchid seedlings flowering for the first time should display a red streamer on the plant. (Note: this class is for seedlings, not a mericlone see definition of seedling in Special Conditions elsewhere in this Journal). Streamers will be available at the judging table. All plants should have a label attached. The public like to see the name of the orchid they are looking at. Please take care in writing your labels ensuring they are easily readable and attach them to the plant so the judges and the public can see them. The show closes at 4pm on Sunday 23rd, all plants to be removed by 5pm. Please read the Special Conditions elsewhere in this Journal, bring all your plants along and enjoy the show. Plastic bags: Please bring these along to the August meeting and/or to the show. Volunteers: are needed to man the entrance and raffle table, the trading table, answer questions and assist the public in selecting plants. Raffle plants: See Bill Dear if you have any suitable plants that can be donated as raffle plants. Plant sales tickets can also be obtained from Bill. TROPHIES Trophies held by last year’s winners will need to be brought in for the August meeting for display at the show. 54 Field Trips for August – September Susan Secomb August Sunday 26th This will find us in Totness Recreation Park and exploring Mount Barker summit. It's the same picnic and thermos deal. My suggestion is to meet in Mount Barker at the park just past Auchendarroch, the big old house which now houses a restaurant and cinema complex. Contact Susan Secomb 85246248 or 0409091030 with any queries. September There are some distant trips this month, so instead of listing them chronologically, I'll set them out according to destination. Bob Bates 83429247, mobile 0434482314 or email [email protected] is leading a trip to Warren Gorge, Alligator Gorge and Mount Remarkable to seek Caladenia gladiolata, C. woolcockiorum and new Arachnorchis species. This is planned for Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th September. This trip is combined with the option to stay on and help the Lofty Block Threatened Orchid Recovery Project with survey and monitoring in Warren Gorge and Mount Remarkable National Park from 6th to 9th September. Contact Cathy Houston for more details. (83567356) Contact either Peter McCauley 83376181 or Thelma Bridle 83844174, if you are interested in either of two fire area searches in Western Victoria. The dates are September 15th and 16th and September 22nd to 26th . The first local trip is Saturday 8th September at Placid Estates, Monarto and Hartley Hill to look for Spider orchids. From Tailem Bend, turn onto the Meningie Road and meet on the road to Carawatha Nursery which is well sign posted. On Sunday 16th September we will meet at Clarendon. In the morning we will explore Hardy's Scrub on Chapel Hill Road, before Kangarilla. In the afternoon we will move on to Onkaparinga. As usual, meet in time to get going by 10am and bring your picnic and thermos. Ring or email me with any queries about local trips. Susan Secomb, home 85246248, mobile 0409091030 or email [email protected] Tuber bank Coordinator required Please contact Bill Dear if you are interested in filling this vacancy 55 How it is Done Reg Shooter There was a very nice benching of orchids at the July meeting.

  • Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
    Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there.

  • NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-Ring-Gai Wildflower Garden
    Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Topic 22: ORCHIDS (Orchidaceae) Did you know that, The orchid family is the largest and most successful in the world. Theophrastus used the name Orchis (Greek meaning testicle) about 300BC to describe the orchid family. He thought the plant’s underground tubers bore a resemblance to testicles. Linnaeus later used the name Orchis to describe this plant genus. Orchids are loved by people. Unscrupulous collectors have removed extensive numbers of orchids from the wild, to the extent that in many areas orchids are no longer found. The Orchid Family The orchid family, Orchidaceae, has about 25000 species in about 1000 genera. Australia is not as rich in orchids as other countries, but close to 200 genera with about 1300 species are found here. Three quarters are terrestrial and the others are epiphytes. Flower Structure Orchids are herbs with distinctive floral features. They are monocotyledons with three sepals and three petals, but one of the petals in most species is greatly modified to form the labellum or tongue. Thelymitra aristata Diuris longifolia The labellum’s primary function is to attract pollinators. It is usually larger than the other segments and can be entire or with 3 lobes. It can be fixed or attached by a flexible strap 1 which snaps shut and traps an insect to achieve pollination. It commonly has a variety of structure, plates, calli, hairs and glands. The male and female sexual parts are combined to form the fleshy structure called the column, located centrally in the flower.
