Detail of Why the Hotchpotch Planting List
19 December 2016 Detail of why the hotchpotch Planting List Beaumaris Conservation for the 8 hectare Beaumaris Secondary Society Inc. Association No. A00348878 College site would severely degrade the PO Box 7016 Beaumaris Victoria 3193 95895428, 0429176725 indigenous vegetation character of the [email protected] www.bcs.asn.au site and its adjacent bushland reserves Beaumaris Conservation Society Inc’s critique of the VSBA’s Planting List for Beaumaris Secondary College is augmented below by the country or region of origin, and the weed potential of each plant. If more information or help on weed potential is needed, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Australian Garden, at Cranbourne, Victoria, has a very robust weediness assessment program set up by Warren Worboys. This is a good argument for one Government department giving benefit to another. It is hard to believe that the Victorian Government’s Planning Department or its Education Department and Victorian School Building Authority have thoroughly checked the plans. The plans appear to have been accepted as presented because: The second arborist’s report appears to be extremely poor, relying on the first report. That does not seem to be good professional practice, and the report should not have been accepted by the Government if it was serious about a second opinion, There is an apparent lack of a finalized plan for the site before work started, The NSW landscape firm, Ochre Landscape, seems not to have researched the area, or consulted with the Bayside Community Plant Nursery staff or Beaumaris Conservation Society Inc. It might not have been given an adequate brief (lack of leadership) as to the types of plant that would be suitable – creating a buffer of indigenous plants for Long Hollow Reserve and connecting other bushland areas.

Threatened Plant Species in Your Bush About This Kit This Kit Is Designed to Help You Identify Any Threatened Species That May Be Present in Your Remnant Native Bush
Threatened plant species in your bush About this kit This kit is designed to help you identify any threatened species that may be present in your remnant native bush. After a brief introduction about threatened species and their importance, the kit lists most of the plants that are thought to be extinct, endangered or vulnerable in Tasmania. The plants are listed alphabetically by their scientific name. A short description and a photograph are given for each species. Information on managing the species is also given where this is known — though in most cases this information is not currently available. An alphabetical list of the common names of the plants included in this kit can be found on page 41. Further information about threatened plant species can be obtained from the Threatened Species Unit botanist on (03) 6233 6556. What is a threatened species? A plant or animal species is described as threatened if it is at risk of becoming extinct. Plants and animals become threatened through a range of factors that may be natural or human induced. A plant population may be destroyed by fire, flood or disease, or by land clearance for development or agriculture. Some Tasmanian plant species are highly localised and therefore more vulnerable to destruction. By far the biggest threat to Tasmania’s wildlife is the loss of habitat through development and land practices such as forestry and agriculture. In Tasmania threatened species are categorised into three classes depending on the level of threat facing them. These are endangered (including extinct), vulnerable and rare. All species assigned to these classes are included in the Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.

Phylogenetic Distribution and Evolution of Mycorrhizas in Land Plants

Moore-Et-Al.-2014-The-Ecology-Assembly-And-Evolution-Of-Gypsophile.Pdf
Chapter THE ECOLOGY, ASSEMBLY AND EVOLUTION OF GYPSOPHILE FLORAS Michael J. Moore1*, Juan F. Mota2, Norman A. Douglas1, Hilda Flores Olvera3 and Helga Ochoterena3 1Department of Biology, Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH, USA 2Departamento de Biología y Geología, Universidad de Almería, Almería, España 3Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, DF, México ABSTRACT Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) exposures and gypseous soils occupy over 100 million ha worldwide, primarily in arid and semiarid regions, with particularly large areas of surface gypsum in southwestern Asia, the Mediterranean region, the Horn of Africa and southwestern North America. Each of these areas hosts a diverse assemblage of gypsum endemic plant taxa, known as gypsophiles. Although plant biologists have been interested in the causes of gypsophily for well over a century, it has only been over the past few decades that gypsophile floras have received sustained ecological and evolutionary study. Recent work, principally in Spain, has revealed that both physical (e.g., gypsum crusts, soil porosity) and chemical (e.g., high Ca and S, low cation exchange capacity) factors may control community structure on highly gypseous substrates. Plant-fungal interactions may also play a key role in plant establishment on gypsum, although few studies have examined this subject. Molecular systematic and population genetic studies over the past two decades have revealed several key similarities in the assembly and evolution of gypsophile floras and taxa. These studies imply that gypsophile lineages have frequently appeared multiple times within clades that are ancestrally tolerant of gypsum, that speciation has been common in the most widespread lineages of gypsophiles, and that most gypsophile lineages first appeared no earlier than the latest Miocene.

An Inventory of the Vascular Flora of the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet Area
An inventory of the vascular flora of the Anglesea and Aireys Inlet area, extending to Torquay on Tertiary and Quaternary sediments, eastern Otway Plain Bioregion, Victoria Geoff W. Carr, Ecology Australia Pty Ltd., 88 B Station Street, Fairfield, Vic 3078 ([email protected]) Version 4, 3 September 2017 Introduction This inventory of the vascular flora of the Anglesea-Aireys Inlet area, extending to Torquay in the eastern Otway Plain Bioregion, was commenced about 10 years ago. Only the vascular flora is dealt with because the non-vascular flora is poorly documented, that is surveyed and collected. Similarly the fungi have been neglected. The purposes of the inventory are to: • compile as complete a list of the indigenous and exotic flora as possible, updated as appropriate when additional taxa are recorded • document and highlight the extraordinary species richness of the indigenous flora; there are for example 124 indigenous orchid species (Orchidaceae) which comprises 31% of the Victorian orchid flora (VicFlora; Backhouse, Kosky, Rouse and Turner 2016; Forster and McDonald 2009) and 71 indigenous sedge species (Cyperaceae) comprising 40% of the family in Victoria (see VicFlora). Statistics for the flora are given in Table 1 • provide a checklist of species/taxa as an aid for plant identification in vegetation survey and quadrat data collection in the region covered • provide a checklist of environmental weed species of management concern, or potential management concern, in the region • highlight the local and regional endemism in the flora, as well as the suite of species or taxa that are as yet undescribed (mostly recognised as a result of the taxonomic research undertaken by G.
