Persoonia Levis Broad-Leaved Geebung
Persoonia levis Broad-leaved Geebung Geebung is an unusual name derived from Aboriginal languages: geebung is the name used by the Dharuk in the Sydney Region, and Jibbong by the Wiradjuri1. The genus name Persoonia, to our ears, is also unusual until you find out that it is named after a Dutch mycologist (someone who studies fungi), Christiaan Hendrik Persoon. Geebungs are endemic to Australia and there are almost 100 species which, for the most part, are found in eastern Australia, and in the SW corner of Western Australia. They are mostly small trees or shrubs. This particular species, Persoonia levis, common in Sydney bushland, grows along the central and north coast of NSW, and in the SE corner of NSW and NE corner of Victoria. We are accustomed to the subtle olives, blues, greys and yellowish greens of the foliage of the Australian bush but the Broad-leaved Geebung is quite a contrast with bright, apple green foliage. The fruits, too, are unusual, round and succulent, bright green colouring to purple, very different from the dry, hard fruits of other genera in the same (Proteaceae) family, for example, Needle Bush (Hakea), Telopea (Waratah), Grevillea and Woodly Pear (Xylomelum). Geebungs are also unusual in that they have seven chromosomes that are much larger than those of other Proteaceae2. Broad-leaved Geebung has papery bark that provides some protection from bushfires. Peel back the superficial burnt bark and you will find glorious, rich crimson beneath the blackened exterior. This species also has the potential to resprout after fires, and regenerate from seed.

Ecology of Proteaceae with Special Reference to the Sydney Region
951 Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region P.J. Myerscough, R.J. Whelan and R.A. Bradstock Myerscough, P.J.1, Whelan, R.J.2, and Bradstock, R.A.3 (1Institute of Wildlife Research, School of Biological Sciences (A08), University of Sydney, NSW 2006; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2522; 3Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW 1481) Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region. Cunninghamia 6(4): 951–1015. In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of animals and other organisms, and show distinctive patterns of distribution in relation to soils, climate and geological history. These patterns of distribution, relationships with nutrients and other resources, interactions with animals and other organisms and dynamics of populations in Proteaceae are addressed in this review, particularly for the Sydney region. The Sydney region, with its wide range of environments, offers great opportunities for testing general questions in the ecology of the Proteaceae. For instance, its climate is not mediterranean, unlike the Cape region of South Africa, south- western and southern Australia, where much of the research on plants of Proteaceae growing in infertile habitats has been done. The diversity and abundance of Proteaceae vary in the Sydney region inversely with fertility of habitats. In the region’s rainforest there are few Proteaceae and their populations are sparse, whereas in heaths in the region, Proteaceae are often diverse and may dominate the canopy.

Australian Plants Society South East NSW Group Newsletter 143 October 2018 Corymbia maculata Spotted Gum and Macrozamia communis Burrawang Contacts: President, John Knight, [email protected] Secretary, Vacant, Newsletter editor, John Knight, [email protected] Next Meeting Saturday 13th October 2018 Meeting at the garden of Cliff Williams and Marjorie Apthorpe 274 Western Distributor Road Currowan commencing at 10.30 am Members wishing to car-pool to save the long drive up the Kings H’way are to meet at 9.45am at the carpark toilet block on the left side of Princes Highway, Batemans Bay, just before crossing the Clyde R. bridge. (Those coming from the north will cross the Clyde and turn right immediately off the bridge) The roads once leaving the Kings H’way are unsealed, and a little rough and potholed. Western Distributor Road is about 22km up the Kings Highway from Batemans Bay. From the turnoff, the property is about 2.7km. Once on Western Distributor Road, you will cross Currowan Creek, pass Pig Road on the right, and then look for the “Verdigris” sign. The gate to 274 is next. The driveway down to the house is steep, with parking available in the paddock. This introduction to our visit is from Cliff. The property is set in a valley surrounding the Currowan Creek catchment, in the foothills of Budawang Range. By virtue of its location it possesses a unique microclimate abounding in naturally occurring rainforest species. The valley is dominated by Eucalyptus saligna (Sydney Blue Gum), some monster in size, and Angophora floribunda, along with naturally occurring Elaeocarpus reticulatus, Prostanthera lasianthos, Persoonia linearis, Polyscias murrayi, Cyathea australis, Livistona australis, Ficus coronata, with Pimelea axiflora, Claoxylon australe, Astrotricha ledifolia, Psychotria loniceroides, Backhousia mytifolia and much more along the creek.

That is except for 2 intrepid travellers who made a determined effort to be there ! Questions and answers: At this meeting all members attending will be encouraged to : discuss their successes in growing Australian plants, divulge special tips and tricks they have learned over the years, ask the difficult questions about why certain plants just don’t do what they are supposed, and maybe find a solution to a problem which continues to defy best efforts. Pests and diseases might also warrant discussion, but anyone who wishes to bring a live specimen of such, is asked to ensure it is well contained within a plastic bag. Jenny and Pete have enough of their own, and would not appreciate adding to their collection of problems. All members attending are welcome to bring along some plant specimens for discussion. Join in the fun of learning !, Australian Plant Society South East NSW Newsletter 126 March 2017 Page 1 In My Garden As the long, hot Summer drags on, we have been blessed with a few spots of rain.

Flowers, Inflorescences & Fruits 2020
Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Flowers, Inflorescences and Fruits FLOWERS In common usage the word ‘flower’ is used for both a single flower and a number of flowers grouped together, for example a Banksia spike. Closer examination shows it is made up of single flowers, all with a similar structure. A flower is the sexual reproductive shoot of a plant, consisting of a receptacle that bears the sepals, petals, stamens and carpels – the four basic parts of a flower. Broadly speaking, the parts are in concentric rings. Sepal: Makes up the outer ring, usually green and leaf-like, and in the bud stage encloses and protects the other flower parts. Collectively known as the calyx. Sepals could be free, wholly or partly united, they could fall early or remain as part of the fruit. Petal: Makes up the next inner ring, usually conspicuous, brightly coloured, to attract pollinators. Collectively known as the corolla. They could also be free, part or fully united giving rise to variety of types. Tepal: A free segment of a perianth not recognized as a petal or a sepal. Perianth: Usually consisting of a whorl of sepals and/or a whorl of petals, or two whorls of tepals. Pedicel: (stalk) of a flower, if not present the flower is sessile. Female part of the flower Gynoecium: the carpel (if solitary) or carpels of a flower. Carpel: A unit of the female organ of the flower, with an ovary bearing one or more ovules (female cells), usually a style (stalk), joining the ovary and a pollen receptive stigma of various shapes and size.
