Paul G. Wilson [formerly Ixiolaena chloroleuca (Haegi 1986) (Wilson 2000)] (Family Asteraceae) is a bushy perennial herb with a woody base which grows to a height of about 45cm. The stems are at first densely white and covered with cottony hairs, gradually becoming glabrous (Haegi 1986). The leaves are oblanceolate to elliptic, mostly 1.5–5 cm long, 2–7 mm wide, acuminate, mucronate, with both surfaces glabrous or sparsely glandular-hairy (Walsh and Entwisle 1999). Flower-heads are hemispherical and small, 10–20 mm diameter and bright yellow. Flowering appears to be rainfall- dependent and occurs mostly between May and September (Haegi 1986). A full description is Distribution in Victoria (DSE 2004) provided in Walsh and Entwisle (1999).

Nicola Georgina Bergh Town Thesis presented for theCape Degree of DOCTOR OF ofPHILOSOPHY in the Department of Botany UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN University May 2009 Town Cape of University ii ABSTRACT The Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) houses a flora unique for its diversity and high endemicity. A large amount of the diversity is housed in just a few lineages, presumed to have radiated in the region. For many of these lineages there is no robust phylogenetic hypothesis of relationships, and few Cape plants have been examined for the spatial distribution of their population genetic variation. Such studies are especially relevant for the Cape where high rates of species diversification and the ongoing maintenance of species proliferation is hypothesised. Subtribe Relhaniinae of the daisy tribe Gnaphalieae is one such little-studied lineage. The taxonomic circumscription of this subtribe, the biogeography of its early diversification and its relationships to other members of the Gnaphalieae are elucidated by means of a dated phylogenetic hypothesis. Molecular DNA sequence data from both chloroplast and nuclear genomes are used to reconstruct evolutionary history using parsimony and Bayesian tools for phylogeny estimation.

Brentwood Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63144 [email protected] JUSTIN R. THOMAS Institute of Botanical Training, LLC 111 County Road 3260 Salem, Missouri 65560 [email protected] ABSTRACT An annotated checklist of the 2,961 vascular taxa comprising the flora of Missouri is presented, with conservatism rankings for Floristic Quality Assessment. The list also provides standardized acronyms for each taxon and information on nativity, physiognomy, and wetness ratings. Annotated comments for selected taxa provide taxonomic, floristic, and ecological information, particularly for taxa not recognized in recent treatments of the Missouri flora. Synonymy crosswalks are provided for three references commonly used in Missouri. A discussion of the concept and application of Floristic Quality Assessment is presented. To accurately reflect ecological and taxonomic relationships, new combinations are validated for two distinct taxa, Dichanthelium ashei and D. werneri , and problems in application of infraspecific taxon names within Quercus shumardii are clarified.

The vegetation may be classified into six forms and ten associations, The most extensive communities are ['aa shrubland complex, aUB d, and Lolium pe.renne continuous grassland. Analysis of a fossil pollen profile from lIogan Island indicates that there has been no drastic change in native species composition over the last 150 years, although there is evidence that shrub species of the Composi tae have been reduced in importance. Recent evidence shows that bUTIling and grazing have resulted in a reduction in shrub1ard area, and the modi fication or removal of Poa poifonm:B tussock grassland. INTRODUCTION At present, published accounts of the flora and plant communities of the Bass Strait islands de not provide a complete survey of all the island groups. A great deal of work has been published since Willis's study of Fisher Island (in GuileI' et ale 1958), notably by Gillham (1960. 1961) and Norman (1966, 1967), lllIt much remains to be done. The aim of the investigation of the Hogan Group was to compile an adequate census of the flora, and define and map the vegetation types present. Limitations of time made rapid survey methods necessary, and data on ecological factors are purely qualitative.

Rappresenta la famiglia di spermatofite con il più elevato numero di specie. Le asteracee sono piante di solito erbacee con infiorescenza che è normalmente un capolino composto di singoli fiori che possono essere tutti tubulosi (es. Conyza ) oppure tutti forniti di una linguetta detta ligula (es. Taraxacum ) o, infine, essere tubulosi al centro e ligulati alla periferia (es. margherita). La famiglia è diffusa in tutto il mondo, ad eccezione dell’Antartide, ed è particolarmente rappresentate nelle regioni aride tropicali e subtropicali ( Artemisia ), nelle regioni mediterranee, nel Messico, nella regione del Capo in Sud-Africa e concorre alla formazione di foreste e praterie dell’Africa, del sud-America e dell’Australia.
