  • The Origin of the Bifurcating Style in Asteraceae (Compositae)

E-mail [email protected] Received: 20 November 2015 Returned for revision: 22 December 2015 Accepted: 8 January 2016 Published electronically: 20 April 2016 Background and Aims The plant family Asteraceae (Compositae) exhibits remarkable morphological variation in the styles of its members. Lack of studies on the styles of the sister families to Asteraceae, Goodeniaceae and Calyceraceae, obscures our understanding of the origin and evolution of this reproductive feature in these groups. The aim of this work was to perform a comparative study of style morphology and to discuss the relevance of im- portant features in the evolution of Asteraceae and its sister families. Methods The histochemistry, venation and general morphology of the styles of members of Goodeniaceae, Calyceraceae and early branching lineages of Asteraceae were analysed and put in a phylogenetic framework to dis- cuss the relevance of style features in the evolution of these families. Key Results The location of lipophilic substances allowed differentiation of receptive from non-receptive style papillae, and the style venation in Goodeniaceae and Calyceraceae proved to be distinctive.

  • Scaevola Crassifolia THICK-LEAVED SCAEVOLA Labill
    Plants of the West Coast family: GoodeniaCeae Scaevola crassifolia THICK-LEAVED SCAEVOLA Labill. Flowering period: July–February. Description: Erect to ground-hugging, often intensely sticky-leaved shrub, 0.1–1.5 m high in the Perth region. Leaves variable depending upon location and proximity to the ocean-front, usually paddle-shaped and rounded, 30–75 mm long, 10–33 mm wide with finely toothed margins. Flowers terminal to sub-terminal, in open heads, petals 7–10 mm long with a prominent style protruding from just beyond the flower. Seed a hard nut, within a thin, fleshy, flattened spherical fruit 2.5 mm wide, 1.5 mm long, green, ripening yellow to orange. Pollination: Open pollinated by a variety of insects. Distribution: Widespread from Shark Bay to Eyre in the Great Australian Bight. In the Perth region a number of forms occur in frontal dunes or over limestone. The limestone form is similar to the clone-forming type occurring on Rottnest Island and is lower growing and can form growth circles with age as the centre parts of the plant die out. At Swanbourne Beach both the clonal and shrub form co-occur. Habit Propagation: From cuttings taken in early summer. Strike cuttings directly into pots to be used in plantings and ensure plants are sun-hardened to maximise survival when transplanted. Plant in full sun. Uses in restoration: One of the main species for primary dune restoration. Adapts well to both full exposure and protected sites and is a useful nurse plant for establishing other slower growing and taller species such as coastal Acacia species.

    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.
