  • Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt
    plants Article Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt Rania A. Hassan * and Rim S. Hamdy Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza 12613, Egypt; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: For the first time, an updated checklist of Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species. Taking into consideration the retypification of genus Acacia ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent years. The review of Acacia and its segregates in Egypt became necessary in light of the available information cited in classical works during the last century. In Egypt, various taxa formerly placed in Acacia s.l., have been transferred to Acacia s.s., Acaciella, Senegalia, Parasenegalia and Vachellia. The present study is a contribution towards clarifying the nomenclatural status of all recorded species of Acacia and its segregate genera. This study recorded 144 taxa (125 species and 19 infraspecific taxa). Only 14 taxa (four species and 10 infraspecific taxa) are indigenous to Egypt (included now under Senegalia and Vachellia). The other 130 taxa had been introduced to Egypt during the last century. Out of the 130 taxa, 79 taxa have been recorded in literature. The focus of this study is the remaining 51 exotic taxa that have been traced as living species in Egyptian gardens or as herbarium specimens in Egyptian herbaria. The studied exotic taxa are accommodated under Acacia s.s. (24 taxa), Senegalia (14 taxa) and Vachellia (13 taxa).

We had a meeting of Study Group members on one of the From the Leader 1 evenings of the Conference – this was only attended by four Welcome 2 members (Michael McCuaig, John Boevink, Jan Hall and Study Group Field Trip 2014 2 myself) but we had an interesting discussion of various wattle matters for a couple of hours. Michael brought along From Members and Readers 2 specimens of a number of SE Queensland species and these Some Propagation Items 5 formed the basis for much discussion. One matter that was Wattles at Wickham 6 raised related to our Seed Bank, with a suggestion that we Acacia calamifolia and A. subulata 8 should ask members who access seed from the Bank to Acacia paradoxa 9 report on the results of their propagation efforts. This is The Wattles of Bundarra Road 10 something that Victoria Tanner had previously suggested to Some New Acacia Selections 11 me, and we do think that the additional information that Photos of Wattle Places 11 would be obtained would be worthwhile, and would not Wattle Blossom Fairies 11 impose too greatly on members. Coincidentally, Alan Gibb Books 12 has recently provided a report on his recent propagation Seed Bank 12 activities, and his report (on page 6) is pretty much identical Study Group Membership 13 to the format of the report that was suggested at the meeting Financial Report 2012-13 13 in Queensland – so if you source seed from the Seed Bank, Seed Bank List 14 we would very much appreciate a report of your results along the same lines as Alan’s report.

    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.

  • Patterns of Smoke Germination in South-Eastern Australian Plants Final Report for the Australian Flora Foundation
    Patterns of smoke germination in south-eastern Australian plants Final Report for the Australian Flora Foundation Photo: The Australian Plant Bank at the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan. Credit: http://www.plantbank.org.au/ NB: the work reported here is accepted for publication in the Journal of Vegetation Science. Written for the Australian Flora Foundation Grant awarded to the Principal Researcher, Professor Michelle R. Leishman for 2015. Prepared by Dr Alexandra J. R. Carthey May 2018 Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, NSW 2109, Australia 1 Abstract Fire is a key part of the abiotic environment in many ecosystems, with adaptive responses to heat and smoke evident in plant taxa worldwide. We have known since the 1990's that smoke treatment promotes seed germination in some species. Smoke can also affect the timing and success of germination, as well as seedling vigour, in a range of species. Most of the research on smoke-promoted germination has been conducted in Mediterranean, Western Australian, South African fynbos, and Californian chaparral ecosystems, but we know little about germination responses to smoke for eastern Australian species. We also know very little about how phylogeny, growth form, vegetation type and fire response strategies (obligate seeders versus resprouters) might relate to patterns of smoke-promoted germination. We compiled data from existing literature and digitised paper records of germination trials in the Australian Plant Bank at Mount Annan, New South Wales. We then investigated patterns of smoke-promoted germination in eastern Australian flora to examine relationships between smoke response, taxonomy and phylogeny, growth form, fire response strategies and vegetation type.

  • Acacia Euthycarpa (J. Black) J
    84 AcaciaSearch Acacia euthycarpa (J. Black) J. Black Common Name None known. Habit Obconic shrubs 2–6 m tall, reputed to attain small tree stature to c. 10 m high but such plants have not been seen by the authors (see discussion under Variants below), with 3–6 main stems from near ground level, the main stems sub-straight to somewhat crooked, 7–10 cm Map 23. Distribution of A. euthycarpa. dbh and becoming much divided into many twiggy, ascending to erect terminal branches (pendulous on plants from the Gawler Range, S.A.), the crown sub-dense and occupying ¼–½ total plant height, develops strong lateral roots. Bark smooth, thin, grey. Botanical descriptions and illustrations/photographs are provided by Maslin & O’Leary (2001). Taxonomy Acacia euthycarpa is referable to Acacia section Phyllodineae, a diverse, and probably artificial, group of about 408 species (Maslin 2001) which are characterized by having ‘1-nerved’ phyllodes and flowers arranged in globular heads (see Maslin & Stirton 1998 and Maslin 2001 for discussion). More specifically this species is a South Australian member of the Australia-wide ‘Acacia microbotrya group’ (Maslin 1995) and has until recently been treated as conspecific with its very close relative, A. calamifolia (see Maslin & O’Leary 2001 for discussion). Acacia calamifolia is not regarded as a prospective species for development as a woody crop plant on account of its low wood biomass production. However, a number of other species from the ‘Acacia microbotrya group’ are detailed in the present report, namely, A. bartleana, A. microbotrya, A. retinodes, A. rivalis and A. wattsiana. Species of section Phyllodineae are widespread in Australia with the main centres of richness located in temperate and adjacent semiarid areas of eastern, southeastern and southwestern Australia; species numbers greatly decline in the arid zone and in northern tropical/subtropical areas (Hnatiuk & Maslin 1988 and Maslin & Pedley 1988).

Do mutualists matter? The role of pollinators, seed dispersers and belowground symbionts in the invasion success of Acacia __________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Elizabeth M. Wandrag _______________________________ Lincoln University, New Zealand 2012 Abstract Plant species introduced to new locations may lose their natural enemies but can also leave behind important mutualists. Here, I take a novel comparative approach to identify the potential role of mutualistic interactions in determining invasion outcomes. I examine the strength of pollination, seed dispersal and belowground symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria (rhizobia) across three species that vary in invasion success in both their introduced and native range. I used species of Australian Acacia introduced to New Zealand. I hypothesised that if interactions with mutualists are important for plant invasion then species would vary in the strength of interactions with one or more of the groups of mutualists I examined, and that the pattern of variation would correlate with the degree to which they have established and spread in New Zealand.
