Wednesday Walk – Corn Trail from Old Access Point on Kings Highway – 19 February 2014 Wednesday Walk – Corn Trail from Old Access Point on Kings Highway – 19 February 2014 The walk was the old start to the Corn Trial which is from the Kings Highway, opposite the large pull-in prior to descending Clyde Mountain. The dominant plant along the trail is the Coral fern (Gleichenia spp.) which smothers most ground cover plants. In flower were Baeckia linifolia, Epacris impressa, Goodenia bellidifolia, Mitrasacme polymorpha, Persoonia mollis, Pimelea linifolia, Platysace lanceolata. We recorded some new species. In flower were Gratiola peruviana, Leptomeria acida (abundant), Leptospermum polygalifolium and Mitrasacme serpyllifolia (very tiny); others were Acacia melanoxylon, Eucalyptus radiata and Exocarpus strictus. We didn’t make it back to the cars before the usual deluge every time we visit!

E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Botany, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, SW7 5BD London, U.K. E-mail: [email protected] After the publication of our A linear sequence of extant families and genera of lycophytes and ferns (Christenhusz, Zhang & Schneider 2011), a couple of errors were brought to our attention: Platyzoma placed in Pteris (Pteridaceae), and correcting erroneous combinations made in Pteris of Gleichenia species. In the New Combinations section on page 22, we attempted to provide new combinations for the genus Platyzoma R.Br., which is embedded in Pteris L. (Schuettpelz & Pryer 2007, Lehtonen 2011). When doing so, we made the unfortunate choice to follow the treatment of Platyzoma by Desvaux (1827), which included several additional species of Gleichenia, instead of the modern treatment of Platyzoma in which only the species Platyzoma microphyllum Brown (1810: 160) is included. Only that name needed to be transferred. This resulted in the creation of a number of unnecessary new names and combinations of Australasian Gleichenia, for which we apologise. We erroneously provided names in Pteris for Gleichenia dicarpa R.Br., G. alpina R.Br. and G. rupestris R.Br., which are all correctly placed in Gleichenia and not in Pteris. Therefore these new names are to be treated as synonyms.

  • Native Plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: Historical Records and Species Lists, and Their Value for Conservation Monitoring
    Native plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: historical records and species lists, and their value for conservation monitoring Doug Benson National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney 2000 AUSTRALIA [email protected] Abstract: Sydney Harbour National Park (lat 33° 53’S; long 151° 13’E), protects significant vegetation on the harbour foreshores close to Sydney City CBD; its floristic abundance and landscape beauty has been acknowledged since the writings of the First Fleet in 1788. Surprisingly, although historical plant collections were made as early as1802, and localised surveys have listed species for parts of the Park since the 1960s, a detailed survey of the flora of whole Park is still needed. This paper provides the first definitive list of the c.400 native flora species for Sydney Harbour National Park (total area 390 ha) showing occurrence on the seven terrestrial sub-regions or precincts (North Head, South Head, Dobroyd Head, Middle Head, Chowder Head, Bradleys Head and Nielsen Park). The list is based on historical species lists, records from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (formerly Dept of Environment, Climate Change and Water) Atlas, National Herbarium of New South Wales specimen details, and some additional fieldwork. 131 species have only been recorded from a single precinct site and many are not substantiated with a recent herbarium specimen (though there are historical specimens from the general area for many). Species reported in the sources but for which no current or historic specimen exists are listed separately as being of questionable/non-local status.

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.

Contributed by Ian Cox In the Uecember 1994 Newsletter the Editor suggested that it was a notable achievement to donate about 30 Blechnum plants to sell at the last Kariong Spring Festival. Not really! - It was all due to Mother Nature. It all started when we moved to our present home in April 1992. We brought with us from the old garden as many of the ferns as we could in pots. These included 4 or 5 Blechnum nudums, of which two were fairly mature plants. These pots of ferns were put on metal stands in the shadiest place we could find, which happened to be against the southern wall of the house. They stayed here until we got around to making a fern garden which we finally did last year. After about 15 months sporelings of Blechnum nudum started to appear in the sandy bush soil underneath the pots. The sporelings were left here until their fronds had grown to about 30-40 mm long and were considered large enough to pot. They received their moisture from the rain, and from drips when pots above them were watered now and again. So these ferns were produced with minimal effort on our part - the ferns themselves did most of the work.

Spatial analysis of risks posed by root rot pathogen, Phytophthora cinnamomi: implications for disease management. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 134, B147-B179. Phytophthora cinnamomi, a soil-borne pathogen that infects the roots of plants, is listed as a Key Threatening Process under Commonwealth and NSW state biodiversity legislation due to its deleterious effects on native fl ora. In warm temperate eastern Australia, the disease may cause insidious declines in plant species that have slow rates of population turnover, and thereby threaten their long term persistence. Phytophthora cinnamomi has been known to occur in Royal National Park since the 1970s and systematic surveys for the pathogen were carried out a decade ago. Development of effective management strategies to mitigate the impacts of the disease requires information on the spatial distribution of risks posed by the disease. In this study, we use limited disease survey data to identify areas that are most at risk. We propose and apply a simple risk model in which risks of disease impact are proportional to the product of habitat suitability for the pathogen and abundance of susceptible biota.

How litter accumulation and patchiness influence postfire seedling recruitment is poorly known. Species with persistent seed banks have seeds available for germination in the immediate postfire period. In contrast, plants with transient seed banks must flower after fire to place seeds in the postfire habitat. In southeastern Australian sclerophyll forests, most seedling recruitment occurs within 3 yr after fire. We found that less litter had accumulated in sites mass, including some species with very light seeds. In contrast, the seed mass of transient seed bank species is less variable, with the lightest species more than 70 times heavier than the lightest persistent seed bank species.
