School of Plant Biology, The University of Western Australia. Crawley, WA 6009 Australia. 3. Agriculture, Institut Polytechnique LaSalle Beauvais. Beauvais Cedex, 60026 France. The Proteaceae are a family of plants predominantly distributed within the Southern hemisphere, with >600 species in West Australia alone. They display staggering diversity and endemism but are highly restricted in their distibution by soil quality and type. In order to understand the role of calcium in influencing distribution patterns, we are sampling plant species that are soil-indifferent (few, grow across all environments) and calcifuge (common, grow in acidic, nutrient poor soils). From this, the distribution, form, and amount of calcium in leaves is being investigated at the cellular level using a variety of correlative techniques, including optical-based microscopies, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray microscopy, and quantitative EDS X-ray microanalysis. For optical based imaging and analysis, chemically fixed samples are either sectioned (100 um thickness) using a vibratome or embedded in ultra low viscosity resin and microtomed (1 um thickness). Samples are subsequently imaged using brightfield and ultraviolet techniques, and analysed via Raman spectroscopy (WITec alpha 300RA+). For X-ray microscopy (Xradia Versa XRM-520), chemically fixed samples are incrementally scanned over 360 degrees to produce 3-dimensional data sets, which are then reconstructured and quantitatively analysed using a variety of software packages.

  • Marchagee Nature Reserve B.G
    11 VEGETATION OF MARCHAGEE NATURE RESERVE B.G. MUIR General Marchagee Nature Reserve lies within the Irwin district of the South Western Botanical Province of Gardner and Bennetts (1956). Vegetation of the Marchagee Vegetation System has been discussed by Beard (1976a,b). Beard maps the vegeta­ tion of Marchagee Reserve as 'scrub heath on sandplain' with a belt of 'teatree thicket and samphire' on its north-eastern side. Abbreviated vegetation descriptions are presented in Appendix 1 and sample loca­ tions are illustrated on Map 1. Full descriptions of the vegetation following the format presented in Muir (1977) are available on request from the Librarian. Species found at some locations are listed in Appendix 2 and families of plants in Appendix 3. Methodology The vegetation of Marchagee Nature Reserve was mapped at Level 1 on the reliability scale set out in Muir (ibid). Each vegetation formation discernible on the air photographs was examined on the ground; at least one location was described in detail within each major association using the classification shown in Table 1 and discussed in detail in Muir (ibid); and a soil profile was described for each major association. Level 1 locations shown on Map 1 represent 'sample areas' where the vegetation was examined in detail. The following prefix numbers of the locations represent basic formation types. 2. = Mallee formations 3. = Shrubland formations 4. = Heath formations 7. = Salt complex 8. = Other The methods used in classifying formations, coding vegetation, preparing plant lists, classifying litter and describing soils are those of Muir (ibid). In addition to the soil characteristics dealt with on other reserves, total soluble salts were also measured on Marchagee Reserve.

Kunzea dracopetrensis R.Butcher, the new species described herein, is one such species. It was identified as new during curation of the Western Australian Herbarium’s Kunzea Rchb. collection while expediting the publication of three new Threatened taxa from the Ravensthorpe region (Toelken & Craig 2007) as part of the Western Australian Government’s Saving Our Species special edition of Nuytsia (Vol. 17). Two distinctive and morphologically congruent specimens (A.M. Coates 3107; K. Kershaw KK 2184) were identified from two nearby localities within Dragon Rocks Nature Reserve, c. 35 km north of Newdegate in the south-eastern wheatbelt region; one specimen was retrieved from within the extensive K. preissiana Schauer collection, while the other had been recognised as unusual and languished in the “Kunzea sp.” folder. The phrase name K. sp. Dragon Rocks (K. Kershaw KK 2184) was subsequently erected on Western Australia’s vascular plant census, and the taxon added to the State’s conservation list.
