Comboyne Plateau 5B SUBTROPICAL RAINFOREST (Comboyne Plateau) Habitat: rolling hills on basaltic soils across the plateau away from cold air drainage lines (where it is Cool Temperate Rainforest and Gallery Rainforest). Localities: Comboyne Plateau (out of cold air drainages, i.e. the Thone River Basin), Elands, Boorgana NR, Herbert Gill Rd Brush. Does not include the NR to the southeast of Comboyne which has a separate list and occurs on a different geology. NOTE: tree species primarily sourced from Floyd (2008) with others and non-tree species collated from field visits.

We have been fortunate in securing for this meeting the leader of the Grevillea Study Group Mr. Peter Olde. We will meet at 10.30am at the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens Princes Highway, about 5km south of Batemans Bay After Peter’s presentation, and lunch at the Gardens, we will travel to Moruya for a look at some Grevilleas growing at Mark and Carolyn Noake’s garden, and then participate in a practical propagation session. Please bring morning tea and lunch. Those wishing to do so may purchase lunch from the Chefs Cap Café at the gardens. As we will walk around the Noake garden, comfortable walking shoes and a hat are advisable. There is plenty of seating at the ERBG, but you will need to put in a chair for use at Mark and Carolyn’s. See page 2 for details of these activities Future activities Due to Easter falling in the first week of April, the committee is discussing whether the April walk will be deferred till the 11th,. More on this next newsletter Our next meeting on May 2nd, is another treat for members. We will have to travel a bit, but Fern expert Kylie Stocks will let us in on the secrets of growing ferns successfully.

  • Reconstructing the Basal Angiosperm Phylogeny: Evaluating Information Content of Mitochondrial Genes
    55 (4) • November 2006: 837–856 Qiu & al. • Basal angiosperm phylogeny Reconstructing the basal angiosperm phylogeny: evaluating information content of mitochondrial genes Yin-Long Qiu1, Libo Li, Tory A. Hendry, Ruiqi Li, David W. Taylor, Michael J. Issa, Alexander J. Ronen, Mona L. Vekaria & Adam M. White 1Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, The University Herbarium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1048, U.S.A. [email protected] (author for correspondence). Three mitochondrial (atp1, matR, nad5), four chloroplast (atpB, matK, rbcL, rpoC2), and one nuclear (18S) genes from 162 seed plants, representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and angiosperms, were analyzed together in a supermatrix or in various partitions using likelihood and parsimony methods. The results show that Amborella + Nymphaeales together constitute the first diverging lineage of angiosperms, and that the topology of Amborella alone being sister to all other angiosperms likely represents a local long branch attrac- tion artifact. The monophyly of magnoliids, as well as sister relationships between Magnoliales and Laurales, and between Canellales and Piperales, are all strongly supported. The sister relationship to eudicots of Ceratophyllum is not strongly supported by this study; instead a placement of the genus with Chloranthaceae receives moderate support in the mitochondrial gene analyses. Relationships among magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots remain unresolved. Direct comparisons of analytic results from several data partitions with or without RNA editing sites show that in multigene analyses, RNA editing has no effect on well supported rela- tionships, but minor effect on weakly supported ones. Finally, comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of sub- stitution than chloroplast genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolv- ing deep relationships.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.
