Rumour has it that one of the members of the MOP group has recently had an operation for the removal of gallstones. When the surgeon opened him up, he was amazed at the number of stones he found. The anaesthetist (an orchid fan) took a look and declared they were not gallstones, but pedunculata tubers! The story, of course, went the rounds, and one member was heard to declare he knew that the custodian cf the tuber bank, Don Wells, was short of room for storing his tuber stocks, but he didn't know he was that short! PLANTSON DISPLAY - 2509.79 Kev Western This evening saw a most extensive benching of both epiphytes and terres- trials. From now on we should see a waning of the terrestrials and a.con- current increase in epiphytes. In the epiphytic section there were five genera represented by 21 species. or hybrids. The specimens displayed highlighted the variability that occurs within each crossing, in particular in the hybrid dendrobiums with respect to colour, markings and stature. An interesting feature of the plants benched was the variety of mountings used - from plantsmounted on the original branch through wooden surfaces to compressed cork to-plants doing equally well in varied potting mixes. Commentary on the plants die- -played was provided by Ron Robjohns. All plants benched were in flower.

Despite the near end to the "Greenhood season" numbers of plants benched in the terrestrial section this month was quite high. The increase in overall numbers, and at a guess, varieties of plante benched this year so far, is, I believe, an indicator of the expansion of numbers and of interest in growers of terrestrials. Hopefully it will be accompanied by an increase in succes in maintenance and reproduction of these species under cultivation. Again, the quality and stature of the plants seen in many cases exceeded that normally seen in the species involved in their natural habitat. Commentary was ably provided by George Nieuwenhoven who indicated the need to ensure maintenance of many essentially non-vegetatively reproducing forms by means of sowing seeds from successful crossings in the same pot as the parent plant. The majority of plants benched were in flower with one carrying immature seedpods and withered flowers. Thelymitras, as usual, were generally too shy to show off their beauty at night but one could appreciate their beauty despite. 4 Plants on Display (contd.)

There is very little work involved in caring for these relatively diseese-resistant plants which are available from several Adelaide growers. There are three important annual activities that must be done properly if cultivation is to be successful: 1. Each February repotting into fresh soil is essential for several reasons4 a. more even distribution of plants in the pot, throwing out the old soil removes pathogens which build up each year, C. seedlings can be removed to separate pots. The soil used should be a gravelly loam straight from the bush, prefer- ably from an area where Caladenias are thriving. Nothing should be added to this soil (the exception being a possible addition of blood and bone to the soil well below tuber level). Squat clay pots are best, as good drainage is essentials Tip out the pot and remove top.

  • The Natural History of Upper Sturt, South Australia Part I
    THE NATURAL HISTORY OF UPPER STURT, SOUTH AUSTRALIA PART I: VEGETATION HISTORY, FLORA AND MACROFUNGI OF A MESSMATE STRINGYBARK FOREST Tony Robinson and Julia Haska PO Box 47 UPPER STURT SA 5156 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: An area of Eucalyptus obliqua, Messmate Stringybark Forest in Upper Sturt, Mt Lofty Ranges, South Australia was studied over a 38 year period. The land use history since the area was first settled by Europeans in 1843, to the present day is summarized. The area is now known to support 249 species of plants of which 105 species are introduced and 64 species of macrofungi of which at least 3 are introduced. Although the area has undergone many changes since European settlement it remains an important area of remnant native vegetation. There are ongoing challenges from weed invasion, overgrazing by over-abundant kangaroos and introduced koalas and from potential damage by severe wildfire KEY WORDS: Upper Sturt, land use history, forest, flora, fungi, vegetation INTRODUCTION: This is the first of three papers describing revegetation of cleared land adjacent to areas of relatively natural remnant native vegetation. In this paper, elements of the vegetation, flora and fungi are described in a study area at 16 Pole Road, Upper Sturt in the Mt Lofty Ranges. The second paper describes the vertebrate and invertebrate fauna of the area, while the third paper provides results of fauna and vegetation monitoring in sample sites established in both the re-vegetated area and the remnant natural vegetation in the Upper Sturt study area. A second series of three papers will cover the flora and fauna and a more extensive revegetation program on a study area on the western end of Kangaroo Island (in prep.).

  • Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: a Practical Guide for Field Botanists
    Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: A Practical Guide for Field Botanists Mark Wapstra (Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania, ECOtas) 4th Edition, July 2018 Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: A Practical Guide for Field Botanists 4th Edition (July 2018) MARK WAPSTRA Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: A Practical Guide for Field Botanists FOREWORD TO FIRST EDITION (2008) This document fills a significant gap in the Tasmanian orchid literature. Given the inherent difficulties in locating and surveying orchids in their natural habitat, an accurate guide to their flowering times will be an invaluable tool to field botanists, consultants and orchid enthusiasts alike. Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: A Practical Guide for Field Botanists has been developed by Tasmania’s leading orchid experts, drawing collectively on many decades of field experience. The result is the most comprehensive State reference on orchid flowering available. By virtue of its ease of use, accessibility and identification of accurate windows for locating our often-cryptic orchids, it will actually assist in conservation by enabling land managers and consultants to more easily comply with the survey requirements of a range of land-use planning processes. The use of this guide will enhance efforts to locate new populations and increase our understanding of the distribution of orchid species. The Threatened Species Section commends this guide and strongly recommends its use as a reference whenever surveys for orchids are undertaken.
