The small bright green lemon-scented leaves are covered in spring & summer with lime - cream flowers. These are highly attractive to butterflies and birds. Hardy in a range of climates from cool temperate to sub tropical, in moist clay or sandy loam of neutral to low acid pH. Will tolerate medium frosts. Lemon Bun™ lends itself to low formal hedging, but trimmed as a ball or as a cube in containers, it will give a new dimension in courtyard settings.

  • Can Myrtaceae Pollen of the Holocene from Bega Swamp Be Compared with Extant Taxa? 405
    Can Myrtaceae pollen of the Holocene from Bega Swamp be compared with extant taxa? 405 23 Can Myrtaceae pollen of the Holocene from Bega Swamp (New South Wales, Australia) be compared with extant taxa? Andrew H. Thornhill Botany and Zoology, Research School of Biology, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia [email protected] Introduction Bega Swamp (Figure 1) is a seldom disturbed restiad-shrub bog (Hope et al. 2000) located 50 km inland at the eastern side of the Southern Tablelands in Wadbilliga National Park, New South Wales (36° 31’ S, 149° 30’ E) at an altitude of around 1080 m and with a mean annual rainfall of 800 mm to 1200 mm (Polach and Singh 1980). Rainfall is a limiting factor to plant growth in the region (Donders et al. 2007). It is thought that the swamp originated as a valley fill between Yankee Creek and Bemboka River (Polach and Singh 1980) and occupies an elongated north-south valley on a heavily forested granitic plateau (Hope et al. 2000). The site was selected by Dr Gurdhip Singh to represent montane southeastern Australia as it was a Holocene site with continuous sedimentation that would allow near annual resolution analysis as well as being surrounded by relatively undisturbed natural vegetation, providing the possibility of relating the modern pollen deposition to climatic conditions (Hope 1995). The surrounding catchment area of Bega Swamp is predominantly a wet, tall, open sclerophyll forest, with dominant Eucalyptus tree species being E. fraxinoides, E. fastigata, E. radiata and E. dalrympleana, along with a rich shrub and herb understorey containing genera such as Epacris, Leptospermum, Asteraceae, Acaena, Ranunculus, Hydrocotyle, Plantago, Wahlenbergia, Gonocarpus, Blechnum and Pteridium (Green et al.

  • Vascular Flora of the South East Forests Region, Eden, New South Wales
    219 Vascular Flora of the South East Forests region, Eden, New South Wales David A. Keith, Jackie Miles and Berin D. E. Mackenzie Abstract Keith, David A.1, Miles, Jackie2, and Mackenzie, Berin, D. E.1 (1NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW, Australia 2220; 2Hawkshead Road, Brogo, NSW, Australia 2550) 1999. Vascular flora of the South East Forests region, Eden, New South Wales. Cunninghamia 6(1): 219–281. An exhaustive review of available information revealed 1522 native vascular plant taxa with confirmed records in the Eden region. A further 136 taxa potentially occur in the region, but these remain to be confirmed. Families represented by large numbers of taxa in the indigenous flora include the Fabaceae, Poaceae, Asteraceae, Myrtaceae and Orchidaceae. Species frequencies were highly skewed with 74% of the flora represented in less than 1% of survey samples and only three taxa represented in more than 40% of samples. A large number of records (350 taxa) were evaluated and refuted, emphasising the importance of critical validation when compiling biological inventory data from multiple sources. Errors are most likely to arise from nomenclatural synonymy and other duplications, misidentifications and erroneous locality information. The confirmed vascular flora of the Eden region is relatively species-rich compared with other regions in tropical, temperate and semi-arid Australia, although these regions are less well-known botanically. However, the proportion of endemism (1%) is comparatively low, with 18 taxa unique to the region and a further 14 taxa with distributions extending just beyond the region. The Eden region includes 32 taxa listed as endangered or vulnerable in Australia and a further six taxa listed as endangered in New South Wales but not throughout Australia.
