EDITORIAL A FEW WORDS FROM PETER Peter Olde, NSW This Newsletter has been compiled by Queensland members with a little help from the GSG leader. There may have been some confusion as Christine indicated it was Victoria’s turn and then left for Bali. However, the matter has now been resolved. Victorians can get their articles ready for next year. The newsletter after this (114) is the responsibility of New South Wales members. What about trying to put an original article together or searching the internet on a particular species of interest. You will be surprised what you can find and it would be a great help to me. Hope you have been watching Gardening Australia, easily the best Gardening show on TV. A recent show was produced from the Illawarra Grevillea Park, Bulli and featured ‘Glorious Grevilleas’. Two of those listed as Ray Brown’s three favourites were bred by Richard Tomkin: Grevillea ‘Bush Lemons’ and G. ‘Miami Pink’. His favourite is G. ‘Bulli Beauty’ which came up spontaneously in the Grevillea Park some time ago. The show was recorded at the end of 2018 and went to air on Friday March 29 2019 with a repeat on Sunday 31 March. At that time Ray was in St Vincent’s Hospital having his heart mended. He is back on track once again and you will be pleased to know, young and invigorated, after some mis-steps along the way, Grevillea endlicheriana fruit exterior showing style attached such as a blood clot in the lung. Many of you expressed appreciation and enjoyed the feature. You can watch it on iView but I have downloaded a video of the segment which you can also download. Not sure how long it will be available, but I have a copy if anyone misses it. Glorious grevilleas https://abcportal-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/ baddeley_melissa_abc_net_au/EfWWEtvX5ZpGrkOHmuT KuFABFu02PNIw1tHvLlM5ClV-UA?e=DlZrTi (318MB) I am thinking of re-activating the New South Wales chapter of the Grevillea Study Group with some quarterly meetings and a few activities. I want to see some of the interesting Grevillea endlicheriana fruit cut open to reveal seeds species and forms out there propagated. Please contact me with expressions of interest and ideas for meeting times etc. If there is sufficient interest, we might start up next year. I want to make special mention of Mark Noake and his work so far behind the scenes. I do so in the hope that his efforts will inspire the efforts of others. Just ask me how you can assist. Mark has been photographing Grevillea fruits with the seed inside. You can see how the organs line up. These images are not seen too often in publication. I am attaching just two. They show the seed coat and the seed. The idea here is to photograph the fruits and seeds of every Grevillea species. A monumental but not unachievable task given Grevillea manglesii fruit cut open to reveal seeds our numbers. CONTINUED > NEWSLETTER NO. 113 – JUNE 2019 02 EDITORIAL Mark has also been setting up a database to which we can link information on all the different species of Grevillea. At present I am trying to reference each species in the various treatments. A similar approach is taken on the AVH website but they have largely ignored references in the Grevillea Book which I find a bit insulting, especially given that we broke the mould that the McGillivray Revision would have deemed we follow. I am told that this is simply a matter of resources and will be fixed over time. In the meantime, references in the GSG newsletter will be taken up in the list I am compiling. Bernie Shanahan (2 categories) and Tony Cavanagh (7 categories) deserve great credit for continuing to update our index past Newsletter 100. The index to Newsletters 1–100 is available on the GSG website. Is there anyone who would be interested to assist Tony with indexing one or two of the categories as each newsletter is produced? It would be such a great help, to him and to me. Grevillea manglesii fruit exterior showing style attached Illawarra Grevillea Park NEXT OPEN DAYS 2019 Mark has also scanned all the illustrations drawn by Collin Woolcock. These were made for the Grevillea Book but July 6 & 7, 13 & 14 never published.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

I'm sorry this has delayed a little both my correspondence and this Newsletter. I expect spring will have more than its usual feeling of re-birth as we do some planting in affected areas of the garden, mostly with plants a metre or less in height (in accord with this NL's theme of 'Australian wildflower gardens). However we'll be away for most of September, in Newcastle and Sydney for GDSG talks, then Bourke (for the RAOU Congress - birds instead of plants) and finally Ballarat for the ASGAP Conference. I'm looking forward to meeting many GDSG members both during my travels and at Ballarat.

  • Vegetation of Durokoppin and Kodj Kodjin Nature Reserves
    II VEGETATION OF DUROKOPPIN AND KODJ KODJIN NATURE RESERVES B.G. MUIR INTRODUCfION Durokoppin Reserve (DR) and Kodj Kodjin Reserve (KKR) both fall within the Avon district of the South-west Botanical Province of Gardner and Bennetts (1956) and the vegetation of the Reserves largely conforms to that generally found throughout this region. Abbreviated vegetation descriptions of DR appear in Appendix 1 and of KKR in Appendix 3. Full descriptions of the vegetation following the format presented in Muir (1977a) have been lodged in the Archives of Western Australian Museum; details are available on request from the Librarian. A description of the road verge connecting DR and KKR is given at the end of Appendix 1. Methodology The vegetation of DR and KKR was mapped at Level 2 of the reliability scale set out in Muir (1977a). Each vegetation formation discernible on the air photographs was examined on the ground; this information was then extrapolated to adjacent formations. Uncleared land contiguous to the Reserves but not included within them was mapped at formation level directly from the photographs (Level 3). Level 2 locations, shown on vegetation Maps 1 and 2 represent 'sample areas' where the vegetation was examined and described using the classifica­ tion shown in Table 1 and discussed in detail in Muir (1977a). The following prefix numbers of the locations represent basic formation types. 1 woodland formations 5 lithic complexes 2 mallee formations 6 breakaway complexes 3 shrubland formations 7 salt complexes 4 heaths 8 other Level 3 locations are shown on the maps prefixed by: W = woodland formations M = mallee formations The methods used in classifying formations, coding habitat data, preparing plant lists, classifying litter and describing soils are those of Muir (1977a).

  • Grevillea Caleyi (Caley's Grevillea)
    1 Grevillea caley R. Br. (Proteaceae) Distribution: Endemic to NSW Current EPBC Act Status: Endangered Current NSW TSC Act Status: Critically Endangered Proposed change for alignment: update EPBC Act to Critically Endangered Conservation Advice: Grevillea caleyi (Caley's Grevillea). Summary of Conservation Assessment against IUCN Red List criteria Grevillea caleyi (Caley's Grevillea) is found to be eligible for listing as Critically Endangered under Criterion B1 (b) (i) (ii) (iii) (v), (c) (iv) and Criterion E. The main reasons for the species being eligible for listing in the Critically Endangered category are i) that the species has a very highly restricted geographic range. The extent of occurrence (EOO) and the area of occupancy (AOO) for G. caleyi were estimated to be approximately 56 km2; ii) a continuing decline is estimated in geographic distribution (EOO and AOO), area and extent and quality of habitat and the number of mature individuals; iii) there are extreme fluctuations in the number of mature individuals; iv) Modelling of extinction risk (Regan and Auld 2004) suggests that the probability of extinction may be ≥ 50% in 3 generations. Assessment against IUCN Red List criteria Criterion A. Population Size reduction. Assessment Outcome: Data deficient. Justification: 85% of the habitat of the species has been cleared, with much of the clearing in the 20th century. The generation length of the species is likely to be 8-15 years and 3 generations would be 25-45 years. However, given that generations are triggered by fire events (and do not occur independently of fire) and that the average fire return interval in the habitat is approximately 7-17 years (Bradstock and Kenny 2003), 3 generations is more likely to be 21-60 years.
