Banksias have been important for Indigenous people for Carl Linnaeus the Younger (son of Carl Linnaeus the Elder) many thousands of years, chiefly through the use of nectar named the Banksia genus in 1782, honouring the important as an energy source.

Carl Linnaeus the Elder also includes around 90 species of Dryandra that were transferred referred to ‘Banksia’ as an alternative name to Terra Austra- into Banksia in 2007, almost doubling the size of the genus. lis as our continent was then known. It is curious indeed to Lively debate continues about this. The new Banksia Garden will include a small number of the ‘genus formerly known as Dryandra’ for interpretive purposes. Site preparation for the new Banksia Garden commenced at the beginning of winter, with the removal of most of the vegetation, to eliminate root competition and create optimal levels of sunshine and air movement to give the new banksias the best chance of thriving. Behind the scenes, the ANBG team has been working col- laboratively with experts around Australia to identify which species to include in the planting plan and how best to grow them. The selection of species will consider the likelihood of successful establishment together with the display potential over the whole year. Plants chosen will give visitors an under- standing of the enormous diversity within the genus, ranging from low-growing species often with stems trailing across the ground such as Banksia blechnifolia, through all shapes and sizes, to taller species such as the well-known B. serrata. The design of the Garden captures a range of different banksia related themes. At the bottom of the Garden visitors will find a ‘Burnt Banksia’ installation. Twisted banksia skeletons left after recent fires in the Booderee National Park area will be collected and incorporated into a unique feature, telling the story of the interaction between these plants and fire.

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.

  • Chapter 1: General Introduction and Aims
    Margaret L. Stimpson Banksia spinulosa complex Chapter 1: General introduction and aims “The history of science, like the history of all human ideas, is a history of irresponsible dreams, of obstinacy, and of error. But science is one of the very few human activities perhaps the only one in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected. This is why we can say that, in science, we often learn from our mistakes, and why we can speak clearly and sensibly about making progress there.” (Popper 1963 p. 216) Proteaceae and Banksia The flowering plant family Proteaceae is predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere and represents a classic Gondwanan clade, with fossils dating to c. 94 Mya, i.e., shortly after the separation of Africa from the rest of Gondwana (Guerin and Hill 2006). The family comprises about 80 genera with c. 1700 species, c.1450 of which are distributed in Australia and South Africa, which have the greatest concentrations of diversity (APG III 2009). There are also about 83 species in 8 genera in South and Central America (Prance and Plana 1998). Well known genera in the Proteaceae clade include Telopea, Protea, Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea, and Macadamia. The New South Wales floral emblem is the Waratah (Telopea speciosissima); Banksia, Grevillea, and Leucadendron are popular cut flowers, while the nuts of Macadamia integrifolia are widely grown commercially. The genus Banksia L.f. (Proteaceae subfam. Grevilleoideae) was first described on the basis of four species collected by Banks and Solander during the Cook voyage in 1770 (Thiele and Ladiges 1996; Collins et al.

  • Report on Visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a Crowd Travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to Enjoy the Extensive Garden of Catriona and Phil
    Report on visit to Lyrebird Lane Quite a crowd travelled to Lyrebird Lane Little Forest, to enjoy the extensive garden of Catriona and Phil. As leaders of the Petrophile and Isopogon Study Group, they share a keen interest in domesticating these members of the Proteaceae family. Phil has spent some years perfecting a process of grafting the difficult to grow but horticulturally desirable Western Australian species onto more reliable Eastern states rootstock. From this work he has ventured to graft many difficult to grow plants within the Proteaceae family, including Banksia, Dryandra, Grevillea and Hakea species onto stocks which not only survive, but thrive in his Phil and Catriona ponder a garden conditions. (Phil has kindly supplied an extensive list difficult question during their of the successful grafts in his garden, which follows this opening comments at the last report) meeting Catriona and Phil’s property is located on the edge of the escarpment overlooking Lake Conjola and Milton at an elevation of 350m, just below the Little Forest Plateau area of the Morton National Park, about ten kilometres from the sea, and is a garden set on the rich soils of former rainforest pockets, comprising two hectares of volcanic soil known as Milton monzonite. Whilst we marvelled at the plants and the almost perfect maintenance, both Catriona and Phil were quick to point out aspects which they struggled with. First of course, as the soil retains so much moisture, many plants simply grow too quickly, then being top heavy, are affected negatively by the strong westerly winds which flow down from the nearby escarpment.

  • Budawangia* an E-Newsletter for All Those Interested in the Native Plants of the Nsw South Coast
    BUDAWANGIA* AN E-NEWSLETTER FOR ALL THOSE INTERESTED IN THE NATIVE PLANTS OF THE NSW SOUTH COAST Contact: Dr Kevin Mills – [email protected] No. 46 – January 2016 Aims: To connect those interested in the native flora of the NSW South Coast, to share up to date information on the flora of the region and to broaden the appreciation of the region’s native plants. Editorial Not unusual for Christmas/New Year, the rain came just in time to interrupt the plans of many holiday makers on the coast. The wet beginning to January continued on and off, alternating with hot and humid weather, the total for the month well above average at Jamberoo. Summer storms marked the end of the month. This month’s edition is a mixed bag of pieces, beginning with an article on a new species of Banksia described for the Jervis Bay area. Other pieces include a note on forests of Large-leaved Privet in Jamberoo Valley, Wetland Plant No. 14, a new mystery weed and another ‘plant of the month’. The editorial team out there are slacking off! I mentioned an article on identifying elkhorns and staghorns in the November issue, but it was not therein as I had moved it; the piece appears this month. Below is note on a common Australian genus, the first in a short series to follow in subsequent editions of Budawangia. Eucalyptus - ‘well-covered’, referring to the operculum covering the flower bud. The first named species was Eucalyptus obliqua (Myrtaceae), gathered from Bruny Island, Tasmania in 1777 during Cook’s Third Voyage and later named in London by the French botanist L’Heritier.

  • Banksia Vincentia
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this conservation advice and included this species in the Critically Endangered category, effective from 15 February 2018 Conservation Advice Banksia vincentia Summary of assessment Conservation status Banksia vincentia has been found to be eligible for listing in the Critically Endangered category, as outlined in the attached assessment. Reason for conservation assessment by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee This advice follows assessment of information provided by New South Wales as part of the Common Assessment Method process, to systematically review species that are inconsistently listed under the EPBC Act and relevant state/territory legislation or lists. More information on the Common Assessment Method is available at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/cam The information in this assessment has been compiled by the relevant state/territory government. In adopting this assessment under the EPBC Act, this document forms the Approved Conservation Advice for this species as required under s266B of the EPBC Act. Public consultation Notice of the proposed amendment and a consultation document was made available for public comment for 31 business days between 23 February 2017 and 10 April 2017. Any comments received that were relevant to the survival of the species were considered by the Committee as part of the assessment process. Recovery plan A recovery plan for this species under the EPBC Act is not recommended, because the Approved Conservation Advice provides sufficient direction to implement priority actions and mitigate against key threats. The relevant state/territory may decide to develop a plan under its equivalent legislation.

  • Combined Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal Interfamilial Relationships and Patterns of floral Evolution in the Eudicot Order Fabales
    Cladistics Cladistics 1 (2012) 1–29 10.1111/j.1096-0031.2012.00392.x Combined phylogenetic analyses reveal interfamilial relationships and patterns of floral evolution in the eudicot order Fabales M. Ange´ lica Belloa,b,c,*, Paula J. Rudallb and Julie A.

We combine published molecular data for the chloroplast regions matK and rbcL with 66 morphological characters surveyed for 73 ingroup and two outgroup species, and use Parsimony and Bayesian approaches to explore matrices with different missing data. All combined analyses using Parsimony recovered the topology Polygalaceae (Leguminosae (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae)). Bayesian analyses with matched morphological and molecular sampling recover the same topology, but analyses based on other data recover a different Bayesian topology: ((Polygalaceae + Leguminosae) (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae)). We explore the evolution of floral characters in the context of the more consistent topology: Polygalaceae (Leguminosae (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae)). This reveals synapomorphies for (Leguminosae (Quillajaceae + Suri- anaceae)) as the presence of free filaments and marginal ⁄ ventral placentation, for (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae) as pentamery and apocarpy, and for Leguminosae the presence of an abaxial median sepal and unicarpellate gynoecium. An octamerous androecium is synapomorphic for Polygalaceae. The development of papilionate flowers, and the evolutionary context in which these phenotypes appeared in Leguminosae and Polygalaceae, shows that the morphologies are convergent rather than synapomorphic within Fabales.

  • Interim Recovery Plan No. 370
    Interim Recovery Plan No. 370 Montane Heath and Thicket of the South West Botanical Province, above approximately 900 m above sea level (Eastern Stirling Range Montane Heath and Thicket Community) 2016-2021 October 2016 1 Foreword Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Parks and Wildlife Policy Statement No. 35 (DPaW 2015a) and Department of Parks and Wildlife Corporate Guideline No. 35 (DPaW 2015b). This Interim Recovery Plan replaces plan number 52 ‘Montane Heath and Thicket of the South West Botanical Province, above approximately 900 m above sea level (Eastern Stirling Range Montane Heath and Thicket Community) 1999-2001’ by S. Barrett. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address the threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The department is committed to ensuring that threatened ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the department’s Director of Science and Conservation. This IRP will operate from 4 December 2016 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the ecological community is still listed as Threatened after five years, this Interim Recovery Plan will be replaced or updated. This IRP was approved by the Director of Science and Conservation on 4 December 2016. The provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the department, as well as the need to address other priorities.

  • State-Wide Seed Conservation Strategy for Threatened Species, Threatened Communities and Biodiversity Hotspots
    State-wide seed conservation strategy for threatened species, threatened communities and biodiversity hotspots Project 033146a Final Report South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. and Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust July 2008 Prepared by Anne Cochrane Threatened Flora Seed Centre Department of Environment and Conservation Western Australian Herbarium Kensington Western Australia 6983 Summary In 2005 the South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. secured regional competitive component funding from the Australian Government’s Natural Heritage Trust for a three-year project for the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) to coordinate seed conservation activities for listed threatened species and ecological communities and for Commonwealth identified national biodiversity hotspots in Western Australia (Project 033146). This project implemented an integrated and consistent approach to collecting seeds of threatened and other flora across all regions in Western Australia. The project expanded existing seed conservation activities thereby contributing to Western Australian plant conservation and recovery programs. The primary goal of the project was to increase the level of protection of native flora by obtaining seeds for long term conservation of 300 species. The project was successful and 571 collections were made. The project achieved its goals by using existing skills, data, centralised seed banking facilities and international partnerships that the DEC’s Threatened Flora Seed Centre already had in place. In addition to storage of seeds at the Threatened Flora Seed Centre, 199 duplicate samples were dispatched under a global seed conservation partnership to the Millennium Seed Bank in the UK for further safe-keeping. Herbarium voucher specimens for each collection have been lodged with the State herbarium in Perth, Western Australia.
