Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa! On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are very excited to welcome you to the 2019 Joint Conference of the New Zealand Plant Conservation Network (NZPCN) and the Australasian Systematic Botany Society (ASBS) in Wellington. This is the fourth time that ASBS has held a conference in New Zealand (previous conferences were in 1991 in Auckland, 2010 in Lincoln, and 2014 in Palmerston North). It is the first time the ASBS and NZPCN have come together for their conference, which means a bigger conference than usual for both societies! We are so pleased about that so many of you are attending this conference, including those coming from Australia and beyond, and we hope the programme we have on offer will not disappoint. Our theme this year is, ‘Taxonomy for Plant Conservation’, which aims to capitalise on the strengths and expertise particular to each of our societies whilst making the most of our shared interests and passion for plants. We have a wonderful mix of talks covering many aspects of Australasian plant taxonomy, systematics, phylogenetics, genomics, biogeography, palaeobotany, and conservation. We have three exceptional keynote speakers, who will start each of the three full days of talks: Monday – Hon Eugenie Sage, Minister for Conservation, Minister for Land Information New Zealand and Associate Minister for the Environment; Tuesday – Melanie Mark-Shadbolt, Kaihautū Chief Māori Advisor to the Ministry for the Environment, Director Māori of New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge and CEO of Te Tira Whakamātaki; and Thursday – Kevin Thiele, founding Director of Taxonomy Australia, an organisation established to advocate and implement in Australia the recommendations of the ‘Decadal Plan’. The special lecture on Tuesday afternoon by this year’s winner of the ASBS Nancy T. Burbidge Medal, Barry Conn, will also be an event not to be missed. This year we are offering six pre-conference workshops on Sunday, as well as five different field trips highlighting the interesting botany of the Wellington region on Wednesday. The diverse workshops offer upskilling in many valuable botanical skills, including using iNaturalist, fern identification, plant surveying, botanical illustration, and science communication. The five field trips are led by local botanists with extensive knowledge to areas of regional botanical interest ranging from lowland podocarp and beech forests, fresh water lakes, rugged coastal communities, Matiu/Somes Island, and—a little bit closer to home—Te Papa’s Herbarium (WELT) and Art Store, and Otari Native Botanic Garden. Te Papa is the premier conference venue in Wellington, situated right on the waterfront in the heart of the city. We encourage you to explore the exhibitions during your stay, which are open from 10–6 pm every day and mostly free of charge. There are six floors to explore, and for those with limited time we’ve highlighted some botanical “must see” items and insider tips for you later in this programme. Those attending the Welcome Function on Sunday evening will also have the opportunity to see our latest natural history exhibition, Te Taiao / Nature, at an after-hours private viewing just for us! Please have a read of our conference code of conduct and do your part to make this a safe, enjoyable and productive conference experience for all. We hope you take home new ideas and inspiration from the varied programme, strengthen existing relationships with colleagues and friends, and develop new connections with other botanical colleagues throughout the country as well as across the Tasman. Nā māua noa, Nā Heidi Meudt & Rewi Elliot Conference Co-Convenors, Wellington, November 2019 4 2019 ASBS–NZPCN Joint Conference – Ruia mai i Rangiātea Ruia mai i Rangiātea Ruia means to plant, to sow a seed, or to establish a foundation from which to develop. Ruia sets a direction for growth and represents the building blocks that contribute to realising potential. Rangiātea is the origin of Māori migration. It represents the wider world, a place to put theory into practice and observe others who do the same. In literal terms Rangi-ātea is a “clear-sky”. In abstract terms this relates to having a clear mind, or a state of enlightenment. At this conference we hope to establish foundations from which to continue developing our shared taxonomic and conservation mahi. The opportunities to network, to observe, to share, and to give and receive knowledge are building blocks that will help us continue to grow together on our journey. Conference Code of Conduct He taonga rongonui te aroha ki te tangata—Goodwill towards others is a precious treasure In the interests of all participants and supporters of this conference, and as guests of Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, we are dedicated to creating a positive, supportive and rewarding experience for everyone involved in this conference. We aspire to a fulfilling conference experience for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, religious beliefs, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, status, disability, physical appearance, political affiliation or technology choices. We will not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. We believe everyone has an obligation to contribute. Here we have outlined appropriate and acceptable behaviours expected at the conference. We aim to influence helpful and constructive outcomes from the conference, and for everyone involved to feel supported to make positive choices, manage risk and have a great experience. Everyone has a responsibility to speak up when there is, or could be, a situation that may breach or lead to a breach of this Code, or the law (see below for contacts). We ask everyone involved with the 2019 ASBS–NZPCN Joint Conference to: • Look out for one another and contribute towards a safe environment where people are treated with dignity and respect, feel comfortable and encouraged, feel their opinions are valued, and can speak without fear. • Be conscientious about how your actions and comments might be perceived or misunderstood by others. • Be mindful of how you use social media, remembering the internet is a public place and we can’t control how long something will remain on the internet, or other people’s access to the content. • Aspire to perform at your best while attending the conference. Please refrain from using or abusing alcohol, or any other drugs, that could prevent you from being at your best, or that could create a dangerous situation. • Have zero tolerance for unwanted verbal or physical conduct (sexual or otherwise) or degrading and disparaging statements related to race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, religious beliefs, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation,

Nach den neuesten molekularen Daten, die aus DNA-Sequenzanalysen gewonnen wurden, ist ein Stammbaum erstellt worden, in dem die Neottioideae in die "epidendroids" eingereiht wurden. Das steht im Widerspruch zu dem in unserer Arbeit praktizierten Klassifikations- System, das in "Die Orcliideen" R. SCHLECHTER in der Bearbeitung von F. BMEGER und K. SENGHAS venvendet wird. Die Ableitung einer Orchideenblüte aus dem Liliiflorae-Erbe ermögliclit eine Differentialdiagnose zwi- schen den Orchidaceae und den Apostasiaceae. Die Apostasiaceae, die viele Autoren als Unterfamilie Apostasioideae zu den Orchidaceae stellen, werden durch vergleichende Blütenanalysen von dieser Familie abgetrennt. Der Entwickiungstendenz des Gynoeceums der Orchideen, durch die es zum Auf- bau eines Rostellums mit seinen Organen kommt, steht die Reduktionstendenz des Gynoeceums der Apostasiaceae, durch die es zu einer Verminderung des ursprünglich trimeren Stigmas kommt, gegen- über.

However whether, and to what extent, the very substantial taxonomic restructure presented in the book is accepted by the professional botanical community, only time will tell. In the meantime, while many orchid growers will enthusiastically embrace these new taxonomies, many others will exercise their valid right to continue labelling their orchids using the older taxa, waiting for the dust to settle on the scientific debate. In either regard there are difficulties for users of Jones's book, in their attempt to relate many of these new taxa to older species descriptors. The individual species entries in the text provide no prior taxonomic information whatever; and the index is of limited assistance, and far from complete regarding taxonomic descriptors commonly used over the past decade or so.

  • Native Trees and Plants for Birds and People in the Caribbean Planting for Birds in the Caribbean
    Native Trees and Plants for Birds and People in the Caribbean Planting for Birds in the Caribbean If you’re a bird lover yearning for a brighter, busier backyard, native plants are your best bet. The Caribbean’s native trees, shrubs and flowers are great for birds and other wildlife, and they’re also a part of the region’s unique natural heritage. There’s no better way to celebrate the beauty, culture and birds of the Caribbean than helping some native plants get their roots down. The Habitat Around You Habitat restoration sounds like something that is done by governments in national parks, but in reality it can take many forms. Native plants can turn backyards and neighborhood parks into natural habitats that attract and sustain birds and other wildlife. In the Caribbean, land is precious—particularly the coastal areas where so many of us live. Restoring native habitat within our neighborhoods allows us to share the land with native plants and animals. Of course, it doesn’t just benefit the birds. Native landscaping makes neighborhoods more beautiful and keeps us in touch with Caribbean traditions. Why Native Plants? Many plants can help birds and beautify neighborhoods, but native plants really stand out. Our native plants and animals have developed over millions of years to live in harmony: pigeons eat fruits and then disperse seeds, hummingbirds pollinate flowers while sipping nectar. While many plants can benefit birds, native plants almost always do so best due to the partnerships they have developed over the ages. In addition to helping birds, native plants are themselves worthy of celebration.

  • Myrtle Rust Resource for Gardeners
    Resource for Gardeners Know myrtle rust – and don’t touch it! Myrtle rust forms pustules of tiny yellow spores. These spores can stick to clothes, shoes and fingers and spread to other plants – so please don’t touch it! In plants where the disease has progressed, pustules become white, then grey and infected plant material dies and turns brown/grey. For more information on myrtle rust, please visit myrtlerust.org.nz or the Beyond Myrtle Rust website. If you suspect a plant is infected with myrtle rust, please take a photo and upload it to iNaturalistNZ. Ramarama Brush cherry Rōhutu Lophomyrtus bullata Syzygium australe Lophomyrtus obcordata Know your myrtles Native myrtles include pōhutukawa, mānuka, kānuka, ramarama and rātā. Non- native myrtles include feijoa, eucalypts, bottlebrush, guavas, willow myrtle, lilly pilly and monkey apple. If you are unsure whether your plant is from the myrtle family, you can use the NZ Myrtaceae key to help identify it or upload a picture onto iNaturalistNZ for confirmation. You can also ask for more information on myrtles and myrtle rust at your local nursery or botanical garden. Garden plants that are particularly susceptible to myrtle rust are Syzygium species (monkey apple and lilly pillys) and Lophomyrtus. Here is a list of myrtle species that have been found with myrtle rust in New Zealand. Prune myrtles in winter Myrtle rust spores only infect new growth, including leaves, stems and flower buds. Since pruning stimulates new growth, it is best to time pruning for when the disease is least infectious – in the winter (June, July and August), not in summer.

Calypsoeae represent a small tribe of anatomically little-known orchids with a wide distribution in the Western Hemisphere. Leaves are present in all genera, except Corallorhiza and Wullschlaegelia both of which are subterranean taxa. Stomata are abaxial (ad- and abaxial in Aplectrum) and tetracytic (anomocytic in Calypso). Fiber bundles are absent in leaves of all taxa examined except Govenia tingens. Stegmata are present in leaves of only Cremastra and Govenia. Roots are velamentous, except in filiform roots of Wullschlaegelia. Vegetative anatomy supports a relationship between Wullschlaegelia and Corallorhiza but does not support the grouping of winter-leaved Aplectrum and Tipularia nor proposed groupings of genera based on pollinarium features.
