African countries and neighbouring islands covered by the Synopsis. S T R E L I T Z I A 23 Synopsis of the Lycopodiophyta and Pteridophyta of Africa, Madagascar and neighbouring islands by J.P. Roux Pretoria 2009 S T R E L I T Z I A This series has replaced Memoirs of the Botanical Survey of South Africa and Annals of the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens which SANBI inherited from its predecessor organisations. The plant genus Strelitzia occurs naturally in the eastern parts of southern Africa. It comprises three arborescent species, known as wild bananas, and two acaulescent species, known as crane flowers or bird-of-paradise flowers. The logo of the South African National Biodiversity Institute is based on the striking inflorescence of Strelitzia reginae, a native of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that has become a garden favourite worldwide. It sym- bolises the commitment of the Institute to champion the exploration, conservation, sustain- able use, appreciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all people.

Coastal Planting Guide 1 for Detailed Information Are Very Dynamic Places with No Two Being Exactly Alike
Arno Gasteiger - Coastal wetland Whakanewha Regional Park Coastal wetlands, saltmarshes & estuaries We can all be part of protecting, restoring and connecting Auckland's biodiversity. Coastal wetlands, saltmarshes & estuaries This factsheet provides a basic planting guide for coastal wetlands, estuaries and saltmarshes which are found in the dynamic saline zone between the land and the sea. It provides a coastal planting supplement to the Auckland Council’s Riparian Zone Management Guidelines which focuses on freshwater and inland environments, and to the Wetland planting guide factsheet. In the Auckland region, wetlands typically form on the edges of streams and lakes and in estuaries or damp, boggy places where water collects. Estuaries form where rivers and streams flow into the sea. They are partly enclosed by land and contain a mixture of fresh and salt water. Salt water moves in and out of estuaries with each tide. Special places The region’s coastal wetlands, saltmarshes and estuaries are important and special places. These areas contain a diverse range of flora and fauna and offer significant habitat for many rare and threatened species. Wetlands and estuaries form a buffer zone between land and sea, protecting the land from erosion and also acting as a filter, by trapping sediment and pollutants from land run off, that would otherwise flow into coastal waters. Coastal wetlands & estuaries in the Auckland region Coastal wetland types in the Auckland region include: Mangrove swamps – mangroves are found in the shallow areas of many of the region’s estuaries and in coastal wetland areas. Saltmarsh – dominated by sea rush, oioi and saltmarsh ribbon wood. -
Jervis Bay Territory Page 1 of 50 21-Jan-11 Species List for NRM Region (Blank), Jervis Bay Territory
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. -
Development of Community-Based Monitoring Methods for Coastal Dunes of the Bay of Plenty Region
Development of community-based monitoring methods for coastal dunes of the Bay of Plenty Region David Bergin and Michael Bergin Environmental Restoration Ltd June 2018 Papamoa College students surveying vegetation cover on the foredunes along a transect, Papamoa Beach A contract report prepared for the Bay of Plenty Regional Council by Environmental Restoration Ltd. This project has been undertaken in collaboration with the Coastal Restoration Trust of New Zealand and their research partners. For the Bay of Plenty coastal dunes, monitoring methods were developed with assistance and in collaboration with Chris Ward, Shay Dean, Courtney Bell and Hamish Dean of the Bay of Plenty Regional Council. 1 Scope and content of this report The Bay of Plenty Regional Council (BOPRC) was one of the first councils to adopt a community‐ based approach to dune management in New Zealand following programmes that were initiated widely in New South Wales in the 1980s and expanded to other parts of Australia (Dahm et al. 2005). Extensive programmes now operate in many regions throughout New Zealand. In the Bay of Plenty region there are currently community Coast Care groups located from Waihi Beach in the west to Whangaparaoa on the east of the region involved in various aspects of dune restoration and management (Figure 1). They are formed by partnerships between the local community, iwi, district councils, the Department of Conservation and BOPRC working together to protect and restore beaches and coastal dunes (www.boprc.govt.nz/residents‐and‐ communities/care‐groups/coast‐care/). The Coast Care groups around the BOP region are involved in a wide range of activities to help protect the coastline, restore natural dune form and function, and are increasing awareness of coastal hazards and climate change in local communities. -
C6 Noncarice Sedge
CYPERACEAE etal Got Sedge? Part Two revised 24 May 2015. Draft from Designs On Nature; Up Your C 25 SEDGES, FOINS COUPANTS, LAÎCHES, ROUCHES, ROUCHETTES, & some mostly wet things in the sedge family. Because Bill Gates has been shown to eat footnotes (burp!, & enjoy it), footnotes are (italicized in the body of the text) for their protection. Someone who can spell caespitose only won way has know imagination. Much of the following is taken verbatim from other works, & often not credited. There is often not a way to paraphrase or rewrite habitat or descriptive information without changing the meaning. I am responsible for any mistakes in quoting or otherwise. This is a learning tool, & a continuation of an idea of my friend & former employer, Jock Ingels, LaFayette Home Nursery, who hoped to present more available information about a plant in one easily accessible place, instead of scattered though numerous sources. This is a work in perpetual progress, a personal learning tool, full uv misstakes, & written as a personal means instead of a public end. Redundant, repetitive, superfluous, & contradictory information is present. It is being consolidated. CYPERACEAE Sauergrasgewächse SEDGES, aka BIESIES, SEGGEN Formally described in 1789 by De Jussieu. The family name is derived from the genus name Cyperus, from the Greek kupeiros, meaning sedge. Many species are grass-like, being tufted, with long, thin, narrow leaves, jointed stems, & branched inflorescence of small flowers, & are horticulturally lumped with grasses as graminoids. Archer (2005) suggests the term graminoid be used for true grasses, & cyperoid be used for sedges. (If physical anthropologists have hominoids & hominids, why don’t we have graminoids & graminids?) There are approximately 104 genera, 4 subfamilies, 14 tribes, & about 5000 species worldwide, with 27 genera & 843 species in North America (Ball et al 2002). -

All rights Reserved. Cite as: Bodmin KA, Champion PD, James T & Burton T (2015) New Zealand Rushes: Juncus factsheets. NIWA, Hamilton. Introduction Rushes (family Juncaceae) are a common component of New Zealand wetland vegetation and species within this family appear very similar. With over 50 species, Juncus are the largest component of the New Zealand rushes and are notoriously difficult for amateurs and professionals alike to identify to species level. This key and accompanying factsheets have been developed to enable users with a diverse range of botanical expertise to identify Juncus to species level. The best time for collection, survey or identification is usually from December to April as mature fruiting material is required to distinguish between species. -

Coprosma Acerosa) in Auckland and Elsewhere
Slipping Silently Away? Sand Coprosma (Coprosma acerosa) in Auckland and Elsewhere Bec Stanley Introduction other parts of the country however this species is Over twenty-five years ago Lucy Cranwell no longer found in the Auckland region. This suggested one of our sand dune shrubs was in “curious low-growing-bush” (Cockayne 1906) also trouble. She described sand coprosma provides habitat for lizards, as well as other rare (Coprosma acerosa) as “formerly fairly abundant” fauna such as the katipo (Patrick 2002). It flowers in the Auckland region and described it as in October and November and fruit is produced in “vanishing in some areas” (Cranwell 1981). February-March. Despite this, the species was not formally regarded, nor listed, as a threatened plant until it Nationwide distribution was included in the “Regionally Serious Decline” Kirk’s flora (1899) notes sand coprosma as category in the latest Auckland Threatened and “common on blown sand all round the coasts”. Uncommon Plants list (Stanley et al. 2005). The Cheeseman (1925) noted it was “abundant on authors of this list discussed at the time that sand sand-dunes and sandy beaches from north cape coprosma had not only declined, it was predicted southwards” and noted it was universally present to continue to decline based on the knowledge of on all sand dune systems “of any size”. The its threats in the region. The question then is current flora lists it on “coastal sands throughout” “has sand coprosma been silently slipping away (Allan 1961). Sand coprosma is still distributed from the dunes of Auckland and possibly even throughout the country but is no longer as nationwide?” abundant as in the past, however nationally this species is not regarded as threatened (de Lange Description et al. -

Novel Habitats, Rare Plants and Roots Traits A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Applied Science at Lincoln University by Paula Ann Greer Lincoln University 2017 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Applied Science. Abstract Novel habitats, rare plants and root traits. by Paula Ann Greer The loss of native plant species through habitat loss has been happening in NZ since the arrival of humans. This is especially true in Canterbury where less than 1% of the lowland plains are believed to be covered in remnant native vegetation. Rural land uses are changing and farm intensification is creating novel habitats, including farm irrigation earth dams. Dam engineers prefer not to have plants growing on dams. Earth dams are consented for 100 years, they could be used to support threatened native plants. Within the farm conversion of the present study dams have created an average of 1.7 hectares of ‘new land’ on their outside slope alone, which is the area of my research.
