  • Grass Genera in Townsville
    Grass Genera in Townsville Nanette B. Hooker Photographs by Chris Gardiner SCHOOL OF MARINE and TROPICAL BIOLOGY JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY TOWNSVILLE QUEENSLAND James Cook University 2012 GRASSES OF THE TOWNSVILLE AREA Welcome to the grasses of the Townsville area. The genera covered in this treatment are those found in the lowland areas around Townsville as far north as Bluewater, south to Alligator Creek and west to the base of Hervey’s Range. Most of these genera will also be found in neighbouring areas although some genera not included may occur in specific habitats. The aim of this book is to provide a description of the grass genera as well as a list of species. The grasses belong to a very widespread and large family called the Poaceae. The original family name Gramineae is used in some publications, in Australia the preferred family name is Poaceae. It is one of the largest flowering plant families of the world, comprising more than 700 genera, and more than 10,000 species. In Australia there are over 1300 species including non-native grasses. In the Townsville area there are more than 220 grass species. The grasses have highly modified flowers arranged in a variety of ways. Because they are highly modified and specialized, there are also many new terms used to describe the various features. Hence there is a lot of terminology that chiefly applies to grasses, but some terms are used also in the sedge family. The basic unit of the grass inflorescence (The flowering part) is the spikelet. The spikelet consists of 1-2 basal glumes (bracts at the base) that subtend 1-many florets or flowers.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • Cymbopogon Refractus, Is a Native, Grass, Themeda Triandra Kangaroo of Lemon Grass, Cymbopogon Citratus
    In recent years, native grasses have become increasingly popular for home gardens. Barbed Wire Grass, Cymbopogon refractus, is a native, long lived, perennial tussock grass, not dissimilar to another popular native grass, Themeda triandra Kangaroo Grass. The inflorescences (arrangement of flowers) are curious, some angled upwards, some spreading widely away from the stem and yet others reflexed downwards, so that the clusters are quite reminiscent of the barbs of a barbed wire fence, albeit without the rigidity and the sharp spines. Hence the common name Barbed Wire Grass. Barbed Wire Grass is interesting in other ways too. It may be an Australian native, widespread in eastern Australia, but it does have some famous relatives. If you crush and smell a leaf, it’s strongly aromatic, and smells of citrus, with perhaps a hint of ginger. You would be correct in guessing that it’s a very close relation of Lemon Grass, Cymbopogon citratus, the herb about which we are now so passionate, and an essential in south- east Asian cuisine. Another interesting relative is Citronella Grass, Cymbopogon nardus, a much taller grass from Indonesia. This is the source of the insect repellent (especially for mosquitoes) citronella oil. Geraniol and citronellol, the principal chemical constituents of citronella, are used in soaps and disinfectants. Barbed Wire Grass is common in Eucalyptus woodlands, and can grow on a wide range of soils of low fertility. It is also a useful fodder plant, as long as it isn’t grazed continuously. It has become naturalised on Pacific Islands, including Norfolk Island, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, the Cook Islands, Tahiti and Hawaii.

E‐mail: [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Aim Australian acacias (1012 recognised species, previously grouped in Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae, which are native to Australia) have been moved extensively around the world by humans over the past 250 years. This has created the opportunity to explore how evolutionary, ecological, historical, and sociological factors interact to affect the distribution, usage, invasiveness, and perceptions of a globally important group of alien plants. This editorial provides the background for the 20 papers in this special issue of Diversity and Distributions that focuses on the global cross‐disciplinary experiment of introduced Australian acacias.

  • Satin Azure Ogyris Amaryllis Meridionalis
    Butterfly GardeningFact sheet Lycaenidae family Satin Azure Ogyris amaryllis meridionalis Also known as: Amaryllis Azure Abundance in Adelaide area: Common Flight: Aug – early Apr Wingspan: m 34 mm; f 34 mm Mature larva length: 21–27 mm If you ever encounter this butterfly flying in the sun you will see brilliant blue flashes as the sunlight reflects off its highly metallic wings. As with all the Azure butterflies, they do not open their wings when at rest. As a result, the Satin Azure virtually disappears as the wings are folded to display camouflage colours. For its caterpillar food plant, the Satin Azure prefers Wire-leaf Mistletoe (Amyema preissii), which grows on some Acacia species, but it will use other mistletoes. This butterfly is associated Mistletoe (Amyema miraculosa ssp. boormanii) on with various species of small black ants. It is most Myoporum, Santalum and others, Grey Mistletoe likely to be seen near its food plants, but males (Amyema quandang var. quandang) on Western move to and fly over nearby hilltops. The species Myall (Acacia papyrocarpa). is uncommon in the Adelaide Hills, but is present over most of the state of South Australia. A stunning butterfly, this is another mistletoe feeding member of the Azure group. The colour Caterpillar food plants: Mistletoes (Amyema of the butterfly is a very bright, shining blue spp.) The caterpillars eat the flowers and leaves. with narrow black margins on the upper surface, and a mottled black and brown cryptic pattern Adelaide native species: Wire-leaf Mistletoe underneath. The females have a slightly wider (Amyema preissii) on Blackwood (Acacia black margin on the upper side, and orange-red melanoxylon) and other acacia species.
