  • Integrated Approach to Nitrogen Fixing Tree Germplasm Development
    INTEGRATED APPROACH TO NITROGEN FIXING TREE GERMPLASM DEVELOPMENT JAKE HALLIDAY' ABSTRACT - The performance of nitrogen fixing trees introduced to new environments depends on proper reconstitution of the symbiotic associatioi on which the trees rely for their nutrition. Thus selection strategies employed to identify adapted g.rmplasm for particular sites must provide for three-way selection of seed, rhiobia and mycorrhizae. Selected lines must then be multiplied before they can be deployed in varying types of development programs. Speciai problems are faced in accomplishing these ends with virtually all nitrogen fixing tr-es. Results and experiences are described which emphasize the importance of parallel selection of plant germplasm and Rhizobiurn strains. '.n the case of VA mycorrhizae, effective symbioses can occur without specific inoculation. Methods for selecting and multiplying trees and their microsymbionts on a large scale are described and discussed. Index terms: mycorrhiza technology, Rhizobium technology, nitrogen fixing trees, plant selection, seed technology.

  • Phylogeny and Historical Biogeography of Lauraceae
    PHYLOGENY Andre'S. Chanderbali,2'3Henk van der AND HISTORICAL Werff,3 and Susanne S. Renner3 BIOGEOGRAPHY OF LAURACEAE: EVIDENCE FROM THE CHLOROPLAST AND NUCLEAR GENOMES1 ABSTRACT Phylogenetic relationships among 122 species of Lauraceae representing 44 of the 55 currentlyrecognized genera are inferredfrom sequence variation in the chloroplast and nuclear genomes. The trnL-trnF,trnT-trnL, psbA-trnH, and rpll6 regions of cpDNA, and the 5' end of 26S rDNA resolved major lineages, while the ITS/5.8S region of rDNA resolved a large terminal lade. The phylogenetic estimate is used to assess morphology-based views of relationships and, with a temporal dimension added, to reconstructthe biogeographic historyof the family.Results suggest Lauraceae radiated when trans-Tethyeanmigration was relatively easy, and basal lineages are established on either Gondwanan or Laurasian terrains by the Late Cretaceous. Most genera with Gondwanan histories place in Cryptocaryeae, but a small group of South American genera, the Chlorocardium-Mezilauruls lade, represent a separate Gondwanan lineage. Caryodaphnopsis and Neocinnamomum may be the only extant representatives of the ancient Lauraceae flora docu- mented in Mid- to Late Cretaceous Laurasian strata. Remaining genera place in a terminal Perseeae-Laureae lade that radiated in Early Eocene Laurasia. Therein, non-cupulate genera associate as the Persea group, and cupuliferous genera sort to Laureae of most classifications or Cinnamomeae sensu Kostermans. Laureae are Laurasian relicts in Asia.

Hunter1 & Vanessa H. Hunter2 1School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351 AUSTRALIA; email: [email protected] 2Hewlett Hunter Pty Ltd, Armidale, NSW 2350 AUSTRALIA. Abstract: Naree and Yantabulla stations (31,990 ha) are found 60 km south-east of Hungerford and 112 km north-west of Bourke, New South Wales (lat. 29° 55'S; long. 150°37'N). The properties occur on the Cuttaburra Creek within the Mulga Lands Bioregion. We describe the vegetation assemblages found on these properties within three hierarchical levels (Group, Alliance & Association). Vegetation levels are defined based on flexible UPGMA analysis of cover- abundance scores of all vascular plant taxa. These vegetation units are mapped based on extensive ground truthing, SPOT5 imagery interpretation and substrate. Three ‘Group’ level vegetation types are described: Mulga Complex, Shrublands Complex and Floodplain Wetlands Complex. Within these Groups nine ‘Alliances’ are described: Rat’s tail Couch – Lovegrass Grasslands, Canegrass Grasslands, Lignum – Glinus Shrublands, Coolibah – Black Box Woodlands, Turpentine – Button Grass – Windmill Grass Shrublands, Turpentine – Hop Bush – Kerosene Grass shrublands and Mulga Shrublands.

  • Cryptocarya Nitens (Lauraceae), a New Species Record for Singapore
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 67(2): 253–259. 2015 253 doi: 10.3850/S2382581215000204 Cryptocarya nitens (Lauraceae), a new species record for Singapore R.P.J. de Kok 275 Cricklewood Lane, London, NW2 2JJ, U.K. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Cryptocarya nitens (Blume) Koord. & Valeton is newly recorded for Singapore. It was discovered during surveys in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Nee Soon Swamp Forest. A description is given, together with a key based mostly on vegetative characters for all Cryptocarya species occurring in Singapore. A short overview of the Lauraceae of Singapore shows that, in total, 57 species belonging to 14 genera have been recorded, of which 47 species in 13 genera are native. Cryptocarya nitens is lectotypified in addition to two of its synonyms. Keywords. Cryptocarya, Endiandra Introduction Species of the Lauraceae (Laurel Family) are of major ecological and economic importance in Southeast Asia as they comprise a major part of almost any forest in the region. The family is very complex, posing many challenging taxonomic and systematic questions, and for various reasons the identification of species is problematic. Some systematic work has been done, for instance Kostermans (1952, 1957a, 1957b, 1964) wrote a series of papers on various genera or parts of genera during his career, and he also dealt with some aspects of the higher taxonomy. The most recent overview of the family as a whole was by Rohwer (1993). In Eastern Asia and Australasia, only for Peninsular Malaysia (Kochummen, 1989), China (Li Xiwen et al., 2008) and Australia (Le Cussan & Hyland, 2007) are recent treatments available, dealing with all species occurring in their territories.

  • Atoll Research Bulletin No. 348 Plants of the Reef
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 348 PLANTS OF THE REEF ISLANDS OF THE NORTHERN GREAT BARRIER REEF F. RAYMOND FOSBERG AND DAVID R STODDART ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON D. C., USA JULY 1991 PLANTS OF THE REEF ISLANDS OF THE NORTHERN GREAT BARRIER REEF Abstract This paper records more than 380 species of vascular plants in 86 families from some 80 islands of the Great Barrier Reef north of 16'57's. The list increases by an order of magnitude the generally perceived species diversity of the coral islands of the Great Barrier Reef. Introduction This paper lists the plants of the coral islands of the Great Barrier Reef north of Sudbury Cay (Latitude 16'57's.); it extends to Arden Island, Dove Island and Masig (Yorke) Island in Latitude g045'S. It is based primarily on large collections made by Stoddart (1107 numbers, generally each in five sets) from 40,islands or island-groups, and sight records from a further 19 island-groups, obtained during detailed mapping of reef islands between 16'57's (Sudbury Cay) and 11'36's (Raine Island). These collections have been augmented by the collections made subsequently by R. Bucklcy and H. Heatwole, deposited in the Queensland Herbarium, and made available to us by that institution. We have attempted to include, so far as possible, previous literature records (dating back to collections by Sir Joseph Banks on Cook's first expedition in Endeavour), together with specimens we have found in various herbaria. Unfortunately we have been unable to trace (with few exceptions) the collections made by G.

    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. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.
