Seed germination is a critical stage in the life cycle of most plants and is defined by specific tolerance thresholds beyond which rates and success of germination rapidly decline. Previous studies have demonstrated that widespread plant species commonly germinate over a broad range of temperatures and water stress levels, whereas range-restricted species often exhibit a narrower germination window in terms of temperature and moisture. We investigated the relationships of the key ◦ germination traits of maximum germination (Gmax) and time to 50% germination (t50) in response to temperature (5–35 C) and water stress (−1.5–0 MPa) in four co-occurring Western Australian native Eucalyptus species with widely varying biogeography. Eucalyptus caesia subsp. caesia and E. ornata exhibit a highly localized distribution and a narrow geographical range, being restricted either to granite outcrops or the upper slopes and tops of lateritic rises, respectively.

Reinvention of Australasian Biogeography
Reinvention of Australasian BiogeographyReinvention Biogeography, the study of the distribution of life on Earth, has undergone more conceptual changes, revolutions and turf wars than any other scientific field. Australasian biogeographers are responsible for several of these great upheavals, including debates on cladistics, panbiogeography and the drowning of New Zealand, some of which have significantly shaped present-day studies. Australasian biogeography has been caught in a cycle of reinvention that has lasted for over 150 years. The biogeographic research making headlines Reinvention today is merely a shadow of past practices, having barely advanced scientifically. Fundamental biogeographic questions raised by naturalists a century ago remain unanswered, yet are as relevant today as they were then. Scientists still do not know whether Australia and New Zealand are of Australasian natural biotic areas or if they are in fact artificial amalgamations of areas. The same question goes for all biotic areas in Australasia: are they real? Australasian biogeographers need to break this 150-year cycle, learn Biogeography from their errors and build upon new ideas. Reinvention of Australasian Biogeography tells the story of the history of Australasian biogeography, enabling understanding of the cycle of reinvention and the means by which to break it, and paves the way for future biogeographical research. Reform, Revolt and Rebellion ABOUT THE AUTHOR Malte C. Ebach is a Senior Lecturer in Biogeography at UNSW Australia and a Research Associate at the Australian Museum. He has published extensively on the history, theory and methodology of biological systematics, taxonomy and biogeography. He is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Biogeography, Australian Systematic Botany, Editor of Zootaxa and Phytotaxa, and Editor-in-Chief of the CRC Biogeography Book Series.

Chloroplast Distribution in the Stems of 23 Eucalypt Species
plants Article Chloroplast Distribution in the Stems of 23 Eucalypt Species Geoffrey E. Burrows * and Celia Connor School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences, Charles Sturt University, Locked Bag 588, Wagga Wagga, NSW 2678, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 12 October 2020; Accepted: 8 December 2020; Published: 21 December 2020 Abstract: Small diameter branchlets and smooth barked stems and branches of most woody plants have chloroplasts. While the stems of several eucalypt species have been shown to photosynthesise, the distribution of chloroplasts has not been investigated in detail. The distribution of chloroplasts in branchlets (23 species) and larger diameter stems and branches with smooth bark (14 species) was investigated in a wide range of eucalypts (species of Angophora, Corymbia and Eucalyptus) using fresh hand sections and a combination of bright field and fluorescence microscopy. All species had abundant stem chloroplasts. In both small and large diameter stems, the greatest concentration of chloroplasts was in a narrow band (usually 100–300 µm thick) immediately beneath the epidermis or phellem. Deeper chloroplasts were present but at a lower density due to abundant fibres and sclereids. In general, chloroplasts were found at greater depths in small diameter stems, often being present in the secondary xylem rays and the pith. The cells of the chlorenchyma band were small, rounded and densely packed, and unlike leaf mesophyll. A high density of chloroplasts was found just beneath the phellem of large diameter stems. These trees gave no external indication that green tissues were present just below the phellem. In these species, a thick phellem was not present to protect the inner living bark.

Approved Conservation Advice for Eucalyptus Crucis Subsp
This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 16/12/2008 Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Eucalyptus crucis subsp. crucis (Silver Mallee) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Eucalyptus crucis subsp. crucis, Family Myrtaceae, also known as Silver Mallee and Southern Cross Mallee, is an effuse (spreads out loosely) mallee growing to 6 m tall with imperfectly decorticated, crisped ‘Minni Ritchi’ (flaky and dense) bark on stems to about 10 cm diameter. Young branchlets are smooth and white with a waxy coating. Seedling and juvenile leaves remaining opposite for many nodes, and are stalkless, circular or broader than long, and conspicuously mucronate (pointed). They grow to 5 by 4 cm, with tiny black oil dots, and are greyish-green in colour. Intermediate leaves are opposite or sub-opposite, sub- sessile or shortly (0.5 to 3.5 mm) and distinctly petiolate, oval shaped, to 6.5 by 5.5 cm, and grey-green (Brooker & Hopper, 1982). Flowering occurs from December to March (Brown et al., 1998). Maiden (1923) described Eucalyptus crucis as distinguished by its capsular disc with the rim much incurved, mature leaves rather thick, very shortly petiolate, from lanceolate to nearly ovoid and ovoid-lanceolate. However, Brooker and Hopper (1982) examined specimens that were obviously related to, yet clearly distinct from, the typical E. crucis.
