  • Local Native Plant Species for Superb Fairy-Wren Habitat
    Suggested local native plant species for Superb Fairy-wren habitat Extract from the report, Superb Fairy-Wren Habitat in Glebe and Forest Lodge, S. Stevens, The Glebe Society, Sydney, 2008. The plants listed are thought to have been indigenous to inner-western Sydney prior to white settlement. Emphasis in this list is on plants that should be fairly easily obtainable, but a few that may be difficult to obtain at present, such as Epacrids and some Peas, and plants such as Epacrids have traditionally been difficult to propagate, have been included to indicate the variety of plants that are suitable for Superb Fairy-wren habitat, and with a view that these plant species may be available in the future. Indeed, highlighting them as suitable small bird habitat may influence some nurseries to add them to their stocklists.

  • Gum Trees Talk Notes
    Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Eucalyptus, Angophora, Corymbia FAMILY MYRTACEAE GUM TREES OF THE KU-RING-GAI WILDFLOWER GARDEN Did you know that: • The fossil evidence for the first known Gum Tree was from the Tertiary 35-40 million years ago. • Myrtaceae is a very large family of over 140 genera and 3000 species of evergreen trees and shrubs. • There are over 900 species of Gum Trees in the Family Myrtaceae in Australia. • In the KWG, the Gum Trees are represented in the 3 genera: Eucalyptus, Angophora & Corymbia. • The name Eucalyptus is derived from the Greek eu = well and kalyptos = covered. BRIEF HISTORY E. obliqua The 18th &19th centuries were periods of extensive land exploration in Australia. Enormous numbers of specimens of native flora were collected and ended up in England. The first recorded scientific collection of Australian flora was made by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, during Sir James Cook’s 1st voyage to Botany Bay in April 1770. From 1800-1810, George Caley collected widely in N.S.W with exceptional skill and knowledge in his observations, superb preservation of plant specimens, extensive records and fluent expression in written records. It is a great pity that his findings were not published and he didn’t receive the recognition he deserved. The identification and classification of the Australian genus Eucalyptus began in 1788 when the French botanist Charles L’Heritier de Brutelle named a specimen in the British Museum London, Eucalyptus obliqua. This specimen was collected by botanist David Nelson on Captain Cook’s ill- fated third expedition in 1777 to Adventure Bay on Tasmania’s Bruny Is.

  • Appendix 3 Section 5A Assessments “Seven Part Tests”
    APPENDIX 3 SECTION 5A ASSESSMENTS “SEVEN PART TESTS” Appendix 3: Seven Part Tests Swamp Sclerophyll Forest Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is listed as an Endangered Ecological Community under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). It is not listed under the schedules of the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions includes and replaces Sydney Coastal Estuary Swamp Forest in the Sydney Basin bioregion Endangered Ecological Community. This community is associated with humic clay loams and sandy loams, on waterlogged or periodically inundated alluvial flats and drainage lines associated with coastal floodplains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). It occurs typically as open forests to woodlands, although partial clearing may have reduced the canopy to scattered trees or scrub. The understorey may contain areas of fernland and tall reedland or sedgeland which in turn may also form mosaics with other floodplain communities and often fringe wetlands with semi-permanent standing water (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains generally occurs below 20 metres ASL, often on small floodplains or where the larger floodplains adjoin lithic substrates or coastal sand plains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). The species composition of Swamp Sclerophyll Forest is primarily determined by the frequency and duration of waterlogging and the texture, salinity nutrient and moisture content of the soil. The species composition of the trees varies considerably, but the most widespread and abundant dominant trees include Eucalyptus robusta Swamp Mahogany, Melaleuca quinquenervia and, south from Sydney, Eucalyptus botryoides Bangalay and Eucalyptus longifolia Woollybutt (OEH 2015a).

    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.

We found records at seven localities in two of the nine provinces of South Africa, with naturalised populations at two sites — ~300 plants were discovered over 0.3ha in a confined-seep on a mountain slope, while at an old arboretum 12 large, planted trees and 9 naturalised trees were found. An additional herbarium record from Mozambique suggests that this global invader is present at other sites within the sub-region, and so while the extirpation of populations in South Africa is recommended and looks feasible, further work is required to determine the status and evaluate whether eradication from the sub-region as a whole is possible.

We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km south of central Sydney), as described in the journals of Lieutenant James Cook and Joseph Banks on the Endeavour voyage in 1770. We list 132 plant species that were collected at Botany Bay by Banks and Daniel Solander, the first scientific collections of Australian flora. The list is based on a critical assessment of unpublished lists compiled by authors who had access to the collection of the British Museum (now Natural History Museum), together with species from material at National Herbarium of New South Wales that has not been previously available. The list includes Bidens pilosa which has been previously regarded as an introduced species. In 1770 the Europeans set foot on Aboriginal land of the Dharawal people. Since that time the landscape has been altered in response to a succession of different land-uses; farming and grazing, commemorative tree planting, parkland planting, and pleasure ground and tourist visitation.
