Swan Reserve Banksia Bed & Other Proteaceae Species This garden bed contains specimens of the Australian Proteaceae plant family. The Proteaceae plant family is ancient and has no close relationship to other present day families. They are thought to have originated from the Gondwana supercontinent where all the southern continents were joined about 125 million years ago. After Gondwana broke up to form the present day continents of Aus- tralia, Africa, India, Antarctica and South America, the plants evolved separately to form the plants that we know today. An example of this are the banksias, hakeas Banksia spinulosa Banksia menziesii Banksia tricuspis Banksia media Banksia speciosa Banksia praemorsa red and grevilleas from Australia and the Hairpin Banksia Menzies Banksia Lesuer Banksia Southern Plains Banksia Showy Banksia Cut-leaf Banksia proteas and leucodendrons from South Africa. Australia has over 1100 species of Proteaceae over 46 genera. This garden bed was established to display some of these plants. The banksia name honours Sir Joseph Banks, botanist on James Cook's ship, the Endeavour and were first collected by him at Botany Bay during Cook's first expedition in 1770. Banksias occur only in Australia (75 species) and New Guinea (1 species).

Banksia Vincentia (Proteaceae), a New Species Known from Fourteen Plants from South-Eastern New South Wales, Australia

Banksia vincentia (Proteaceae), a new species known from fourteen plants from south-eastern New South Wales, Australia MARGARET L. STIMPSON1, JEREMY J. BRUHL1 & PETER H. WESTON2 1 Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351 Australia Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] 2 National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia Abstract Possession of hooked, distinctively discolorous styles, a broadly flabellate common bract subtending each flower pair, and a lignotuber place a putative new species, Banksia sp. Jervis Bay, in the B. spinulosa complex. Phenetic analysis of individuals from all named taxa in the B. spinulosa complex, including B. sp. Jervis Bay, based on leaf, floral, seed and bract characters support recognition of this species, which is described here as Banksia vincentia M.L.Stimpson & P.H.Weston. Known only from fourteen individuals, B. vincentia is distinguished by its semi-prostrate habit, with basally prostrate, distally ascending branches from the lignotuber, and distinctive perianth colouring. Its geographical location and ecological niche also separate it from its most similar congeners. Introduction The Banksia spinulosa complex has a complicated taxonomic history (Table 1). Smith (1793) first described and named B. spinulosa Sm., and subsequent botanists named two close relatives, B. collina R.Br. and B.

Wildflowers to Grow in Your Garden Here Is the Key to the List Large
Wildflowers to grow in your garden Here is the key to the list Trees Ground covers Shrubs Eucalypts Banksias Myrtle family Banksias Others Baeckea Other Beaufortia Calothamnus Chamelaucium Hypocalymna Kunzea Melaleuca and Callistemon Scholtzia Thryptomene Verticordia Large trees. Think very carefully before you plant them! Large trees, such as lemon scented gums or spotted gums may look great in parks - at least local councils seem to think so (we would rather see local plants). But you may regret planting them in a modern small garden. That doesn't mean there is no room for trees. There are hundreds of attractive small trees that grow very well in native gardens. Here are just a few. Small trees Eucalypts with showy flowers. Eucalytpus caesia Comes in two sub species with the one known as "silver princess" being readily available in Perth. Lovely multi- stemmed weeping tree with pendulous pink flowers and silver-bell fruits. E. torquata Small upright tree with attractive pink flowers. Very drought resistant. E. ficifolia Often called the WA Flowering gum. Ranges in size from small to quite large and in flower colour from deep red to = Corymbia ficifolia orange to pale pink. In WA subject to a serious disease - called canker. Many trees succumb when about 10 or so years old, either dying or becoming very unhealthy. E. preissiana Bell fruited mallee. Small tree (or shrub) with bright yellow flowers. E. erythrocorys Illyarrie, red cap gum or helmet nut gum. Large golden flowers in February preceded by a bright red bud cap. Tree tends to be bit floppy and to need pruning.

Crous Decem ber 1999 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION 1, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and has not previously in its entirety or in part been submitted at any university for a degree. SIGNATURE: DATE: Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za PATHOGENS ASSOCIATED WITH DISEASES OF PROTEA, LEUCOSPERMUM ANDLEUCADENDRONSPP. SUMMARY The manuscript consists of six chapters that represent research on different diseases and records of new diseases of the Proteaceae world-wide. The fungal descriptions presented in this thesis are not effectively published, and will thus be formally published elsewhere in scientific journals. Chapter one is a review that gives a detailed description of the major fungal pathogens of the genera Protea, Leucospermum and Leucadendron, as reported up to 1996. The pathogens are grouped according to the diseases they cause on roots, leaves, stems and flowers, as well as the canker causing fungi. In chapter two, several new fungi occurring on leaves of Pro tea, Leucospermum, Telopea and Brabejum collected from South Africa, Australia or New Zealand are described. The following fungi are described: Cladophialophora proteae, Coniolhyrium nitidae, Coniothyrium proteae, Coniolhyrium leucospermi,Harknessia leucospermi, Septoria prolearum and Mycosphaerella telopeae spp. nov. Furthermore, two Phylloslicla spp., telopeae and owaniana are also redecribed. The taxonomy of the Eisinoe spp.

E-mail [email protected] 1 1. INTRODUCTION Belated recognition (Gammage 2012) that much of the Australian landscape is a cultural landscape has refocused interest in the environments encountered by Europeans at the time of first settlement of Sydney Cove in 1788 – both as evidence for (i) the impact of millennia of skilful burning by Australia's Indigenous inhabitants and (ii) as a bench mark to assess change shaped by c. 225 years of European occupation. As for the Tank Stream Valley (Macphail 2014a), direct evidence of the 1788 environment is mostly limited to observations in early Colonial documents and fossils in late eighteen century or older sediments fortuitously preserved under younger cultural deposits. Redevelopment of the foreshore of Darling Harbour has provided a unique opportunity to reconstruct the pre- and post-European settlement landscapes encompassing Cockle Bay, the most eastern bay in the complex of bays called 'the harbour-within-the harbour' by Stephenson & Kennedy 1980). Unlike the eastern (Sydney CBD ridge) foreshore of Cockle Bay, which was occupied by Europeans in the 1790s, the southwestern (Ultimo-Pyrmont) foreshore was part of a large Colonial Period Estate (Harris Estate) that was quarantined from urban developments into the 1850s (Fitzgerald & Golder 2009).

Wood, Statistical Consulting Unit, The Australian National Univ., Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia. Temperature and moisture impact strongly on the early stages of a plant’s life cycle. Global climate change is altering the environmental cues that seeds receive resulting in compromised seedling emergence and changes to seedling performance. Here, we investigate how temperature and moisture affect these early stages of plant development in four Banksia species collected from a longitudinal climate gradient in southwest Western Australia. A common garden was used to examine the between-species and among-population variation in seedling emergence, growth and leaf traits under two soil temperature regimes and three levels of precipitation. We predicted that reduced moisture and increased temperature would delay and reduce total seedling emergence and negatively affect seedling performance. Furthermore, we expected that within species there would be geographically structured variation in response to the treatments. Species differed significantly in all measured traits.
