DRYANDRA STUDY GROUP LEADER NEWSLETTER EDITOR Mrs. Margaret Pieroni Mr. Tony Cavanagh 22 Ravenhill Heights 16 Woodlands Drive DENMARK OCEAN GROVE WA 6333 VIC. 3226 Email: mdmni@b&pnd.com Email: [email protected] Phone: (08) 9848 3331 Phone: (03) 5255 1180 Welcome to the new year and our first Newsletter. Since our last Newsletter, I have been doing some reading on what I call the "new taxonomy" ie the use of new techniques such as cladistics and molecular analysis to assist with classification of plants. I can't say that I am any closer to understanding much of it but I am at least beginning to "get a handle on" how the new and old practices relate to each other. I have written a short piece later in the Newsletter with some further thoughts but as the professionals (botanists, biologists, taxonomists) are seemingly split on just how far to go with the new taxonomy, I doubt whether the issues raised with the proposed inclusion of Dryandra into Banksia will be sorted out any time soon. On this matter, I am very grateful to Dr. Kevin Thiele, Curator of the Western Australian Herbarium and co- author of the paper which formalized the proposed incorporation, for taking up the challenge of preparing an explanation in layperson's terns of the reasons behind their thinking and for so ably setting the background to much of the new way of looking at plant classification. -

Wildlife Research Centre, P.O. Box 51 , Wanne roo, W.A., 6065 This last newsletter is certainly a "bumper" edition. I've been swamped by wonderfully interesting and informative articles sent in by volunteers. Unfortunately Ross Bradstock's "Plant Population Dynamics Under Varying Fire Regimes" arrived just too late to be included. I will be happy to send a copy of this article to anyone who reque sts it. Very many thanks to contributors for Newsletter No. 5 - Le's Gray, Alf and Esme Salkin, Arnold Berkin, Rosemary Opala, Norma Ali, Rauleigh Webb, Joan Adams, Cyril Henshaw, and Neil Marriott, not forgetting the artists David Hutchison, Rosemary Opala and Sue Patrick. I've really enjoyed reading all the articles sent in for past and present newsletters and hope other people have as well. Accompanying this newsletter is a questionnaire to be filled in by anyone who received a recording kit. The idea is to obtain feedback about the project from those who were on the receiving end, i.e. you the volunteers! If you didn't ever get around to filling in a sheet, don't worry, we're not out to get you! You don't even need to put a name on your reply - although you can if you want to. I'm hoping for a very high return rate so please don't put the questionnaire aside and then forget to do it. -

Email: [email protected] Table S1 (below) comprises a list of seed producing genera occurring in rainforest in Australia and various island groups in the South Pacific, along with any available information on the seed storage behaviour of species in those genera. Note that the list of genera is not exhaustive and the absence of a genus from a particular island group simply means that no reference was found to its occurrence in rainforest habitat in the references used (i.e. the genus may still be present in rainforest or may occur in that locality in other habitats). As the definition of rainforest can vary considerably among localities, for the purpose of this paper we considered rainforests to be terrestrial forest communities, composed largely of evergreen species, with a tree canopy that is closed for either the entire year or during the wet season. -

First Published: 1990 580.994 1 Australian Etext Collections at botany prose nonfiction 1940- women writers The flower chain the early discovery of Australian plants Sydney Kangaroo Press 1998 Preface Viewing Australia through the early European discovery, naming and appreciation of its flora, gives a fresh perspective on the first white people who went to the continent. There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever. -

In accordance with the Environmental Protection Act, a CER has been prepared by the City to assess the values of the land, and describe land use proposals and management requirements. The CER is available for public review period of 4 weeks from 2 June 1994 closing on 4 July 1994. Comments from government agencies and from the public will assist the EPA to prepare an assessment report in which it will make recommendations to government. Why write a submission? A submission is a way to provide information, express your opinion and put forward you suggested course of action - including any alternative approach. It is useful if you indicate any suggestions you have to improve the proposal. All submissions received by the EPA will be acknowledged. Submissions will be treated as public documents unless specifically marked confidential, and may be quoted in full or in part in each report. -

The new taxonomic developments covered in the former are one new subspecies for Banksia incana and two for B. sphaerocarpa , as well as the new species B. croajingolensis which has been covered in Australian Plants. I am fudging a bit in using Banksia sphaerocarpa but one of its subspecies, var. latifolia , is categorised as Priority Two - Poorly Known, and another, var. dolichostyla , is declared Rare but already covered in Issue 13. Sorry to all about the delay – life has been very hectic for me, having moved house this year, but been involved in packing since mid last year it seems. My interest had waned and frustration had mounted in the last couple of years as I knew I was going to move and so was unable to plant any banksias in my garden. However that has now been remedied…But seriously I should get another newsletter out before June 2010. -
