  • Bush Foods and Fibres
    Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden Bush foods and fibres • Plant-based bush foods, medicines and poisons can come from nectar, flowers, fruit, leaves, bark, stems, sap and roots. • Plants provide fibres and materials for making many items including clothes, cords, musical instruments, shelters, tools, toys and weapons. • A fruit is the seed-bearing structure of a plant. • Do not eat fruits that you do not know to be safe to eat. Allergic reactions or other adverse reactions could occur. • We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land and pay our respects to the Elders both past, present and future for they hold the memories, traditions, culture and hope of their people.

Antifungal active compounds bioautography bioassays against Cladosporium herbarum have been detected. Comparative studies of Toddalia sp. (leaves), Limonia acidissima (leaves), Vepris bilocularis (leaves), Coleonema pulchellum (roots), Triphasia trifoliata (leaves), Pleiospermum alatum (leaves and stem), Acronychia pedunculata (leaves), and Atalantia sp. (leaves) extract showed clear inhibition zones on TLC plates against C. herbarum. In microdilution bioassay, the leaf extracts of Fortunella hindsii exhibited the strongest fungicidal activity with a MIC value at 312.5 μg/mL and showed an inhibition of spore germination at EC50 of 114 μg/mL for Botrytis cinerea. L. acidissima leaf extracts displayed a MIC of 1250 μg/mL and showed an inhibition of spore germination with EC50 0 values at 589 μg/mL for B. cinerea. The leaf extracts of two different collections of Glycosmis mauritiana (RUT 213/7) and (RUT 400) revealed clear differences for the antifungal activity: the EC50 value of the former was at 70 μg/mL, but 1249 μg/mL for the latter. G. mauritiana (RUT 213/7) revealed clear differences for the antifungal activity: the EC50 value at 70 μg/mL. Stem extracts of Pleiospermum alatum showed activities with values at EC50 262 μg/mL against B.

    Vegetation Management Plan East Ballina Crown Reserve Prepared by Andy Erskine 2003 For East Ballina Landcare Incorporated Funded by Wetland Care Australia East Ballina Crown Reserve Vegetation Management Plan ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lee Andreson, President of the East Ballina Landcare Group, has made a significant contribution to this plan. All photos, unless otherwise credited, were taken by Andy Erskine. Environmental Training and Employment Inc. EnviTE NSW 2 East Ballina Crown Reserve Vegetation Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The East Ballina Crown Reserve Vegetation Management Plan has been prepared for East Ballina Landcare Inc. with funding from Wetland Care Australia. The plan provides site assessment and strategies for restoration of vegetation at the site. The study site is located at East Ballina in Northern New South Wales. It comprises about 57 hectares of crown land. The south-eastern part of the site is bordered by Pine Avenue and the Coast Road which separates the site from another significant area of vegetation at Black Head. The western corner is intercepted by Links Avenue. The site contains a number of differing but related vegetation communities including Wallum Heath, Vine Thicket, Sedgeland and Melaleuca Wetlands. Part of the site has experienced high disturbance as a result of past clearing for a nine-hole golf course. The area has subsequently become infested with exotic pine but most of the area remains substantially undisturbed. While the site appears to be reasonably large, it is isolated from other vegetation communities. This is partly due to surrounding residential development, weed infestation, major road corridor and fire. The report details the implication of fire at the site.

  • Macadamia Tetraphylla L.)
    MACADAMIA (Macadamia tetraphylla L.) Marisol Reyes M. 5 Arturo Lavín A. 5.1. Clasificación botánica El género Macadamia pertenece a la familia Proteaceae, el que incluye al menos cinco especies en Australia y diez a escala mundial. Debido a que su semilla es comestible, Macadamia integrifolia Maiden & Betche y Macadamia tetraphylla L., junto a algunos híbridos entre ambas, son las especies de esta familia que actualmente tienen importancia económica. Ambas son nativas de Australia (Nagao and Hirae, 1992). En Chile esta familia está representada por árboles de gran valor maderero como lo son, entre otras, Gevuina avellana Mol. (Avellano chileno, de fruta similar a macadamia), Embothrium coccineum Forst. (“Notro” y “Ciruelillo), Lomatia ferruginea (Cav.) R. Br., (“Fuinque”, ”Huinque”), Lomatia hirsuta (Lam.) Diels, (“Radal”) y Orites myrtoidea (Poepp. et Endl.) Benth et Hook, (“Mirtillo, Radal de hojas chicas”) (Muñoz, 1959; Sudzuki, 1996). 5.2. Origen de la especie Las macadamias originarias de Australia (entre los 25° y 31° de latitud sur), corresponden a especies relativamente nuevas en cuanto a la comercialización de su fruta y son las únicas plantas nativas de Australia que han sido incorporadas al cultivo comercial por su fruto comestible (Moncur et al., 1985). 103 M. integrifolia es originaria de los bosques húmedos subtropicales del sudeste de Queensland, lo que la hace poco tolerante a las bajas temperaturas, mientras que M. tetraphylla es de origen más meridional, lo que la hace más tolerante a áreas con clima temperado (Nagao and Hirae, 1992). La macadamia fue introducida a Hawai desde Australia hacia fines de los 1.800, pero no fue comercialmente cultivada hasta los inicios de los 1.900 (Nagao and Hirae, 1992).
