Ac2KIA PIcmRDII During the past ten years Alice Springs SGAP members and staff of the Olive Pink Batanic Gardens have been observing small and scattered populations of this rare acacia to the south-east and more recently the east of Alice Springs. Late in 1995, members guided Marion and John SimTlons to same of the mre interesting acacias of this area. On visiting a population of Acacia pickardii sane 200 kms east of Alice Springs ws faund many of the trees carrying a good crop of flower buiis. The area was subject& to very heavy rainfall during - Januuy 1995 and it seemed that the budding probably resulted fmthis event.

It was resolvec? to visit the area about every four to six wseks to observe flowering and fruiting shoula this eventuate. mst of the trees were found in full flower in early November. A further visit in January showed most of the flowers svt but no seed set could be found. It ws note3 that alrnost without exception each @uncle was swollen and on closer examination each was found to contain a small grub. Wly in !>arch it was fond t5e flowers had with- an6 fallen. After an msctensivs search for fruit a sinqle -@ wzs fount still attached to the branch. P, single se could be seen in the partly opened --.

Rosemary Pedler of Kwlunga SA makes a suggestion: "My husband Doug and I are just packing up to go on a Correa Study Group trip to Kangeroo Island.

(mtinued on pqe 5) The 'WATTLE" Project By Bruce Maslin

"WATTLE" is a computer-based information system which is currently under development for the genus Acacia (the largest group of vascular plants in Australia). "WATTLE can be thought of as an "electronic encyclopaedia" and when fully developed will elegantly deliver information essential for effective conservation and landcare programs, will facilitate sustainable and multipurpose utilisation of Acacia, and will provide the fundamental tool for future research on Acacia. There is also the potential for "WATTLE" to become a valuable educational aid. This system has evolved fiom my 30 years of research on Acacia and is now being advanced under co- operative arrangements involving institutions and individuals across Australia.

At the heart of "Wattle" is a powerful multi-access key which enables species to be quickly and accurately named, irrespective of whether specimens are in flower or fruit; even sterile material can often be named. The key also permits species to be selected according to user-defined environmental, biological or utilisation criteria. For example, one could list all multisternmed species suitable for revegetating sub- saline sites and which are effective as wind breaks, or species with fodder value that have a potential to generate income fiom wood, etc. This sort of power, functionality and utility has not been available previously for Acacia. Apart fiom the key, "WATTLE" will provide comprehensive textual information on each species, complemented by colour photographs, line drawings and distribution maps. The text will include a description of each species and information on its common name, synonymy, ecology, distribution, biology, utilisation potential and cultivation.

"WATTLE" is an ambitious project and considerable work is needed to gather, validate and assemble further information and photographs. Although more than 1 000 taxa are currently included in the database, there about another 150 that need to be added (this number includes undescribed species). There is also a need to add and validate morphological data to improve the discriminating power of the key, and to include ecological, biological, utilisation and cultivation information. To make it - fully effective "WATTLE" needs to be incorporated within a multimedia environment. Other software development is needed to produce an effective mapping module and there is a need to investigate the use of alternative packages for key generation.

The resources required to achieve these goals are beyond those currently available to me. To help overcome this problem, I have established (or I am in the process of establishing) co-operative arrangements with organisations who have a need to assemble and disseminate the sort of information that "WATTLE" is potentially capable of providing. Apart fiom the Western Australian Herbarium the groups currently involved with the project include the Australian Tree Seed Centre (CSIRO, Canberra), the National Herbarium of New South Wales, the Queensland Herbarium and the Darwin Herbarium. Each participant has "custodial" responsibility for certain species and their updated information is sent to me for incorporation into a "master copy" of the database. New editions of "WATTLE" are then distributed to each collaborator. In this way the most current information on Acacia is made available while the system is under development.

The intention is that "WATTLE" will eventually be distributed on CD and/or be made available on the Internet while hardcopy versions of the information can be published as needed. It is hoped that income generated from commercialisation will be returned to the project to ensure that the information is kept up to date and that subsequent editions can be published.

In my view the sort of electronic information system envisaged by "WATTLE" is the only realistic way to name acacias quickly and accurately and to easily gain access to the large amounts of information pertaining to these species. The genus is simply too large to handle effectively by conventional means. Furthermore, it is important to remember that because the information is catalogued electronically, it is easily updated. This means that knowledge assembled today is readily available (in a variety of formats) to future generations. I recognise that relatively few people currently own L computers; however, it is reasonable to suppose that it will not be too long before this technology will be as common as the telephone or the TV is today.

I am sure that many of you have valuable information on Acacia that would be very suited for inclusion in "WATTLE", for example, cultivation techniques/problems and observations on the native species in your area (e.g. when they come into flower and fruit). In fact, I will consider anything at all for inclusion in "WATTL,E, even things like anecdotal stories about wattles, poems, recipes, etc. Nothing should be considered too trivial. Of course, all contributions will be acknowledged in the database.

ACACIA JIBBERDINGENSIS: WA 3-5 x 3-4 m Section Juliflorae with long terete phyllodes and flowers in spikes I first grew this magnificent species in 1975 after reading abaut it in Pred Rogers's Grow More Australian Plants. It was already flowering in the bag before I planted it in a well4rained raised bed incorporating 50% sand and 25% sandy loam blended with 25% of the local clay-loam topsoil. Later I planted a seedling from this plant in a dry clay bed at my workplace among large banksias, grevilleas and cordylines and after 18 years it is still thriving, without any watering or pruning. I have also grown it on the nature strip in 15cm of the same well-drained soil mix over sticky clay. It grows quite suiay Flowering Season: All three plants produced masses of bright yellow flower spikes from late February thru early August with little anrmal variation which made it an extremely useful large shrub/small tree. The various flowering seasons published for this species differ markedly from my observations and from one another. Maybe the recorded flarering seasons reflect a highly variable genetic &aacter amng the various natural populations, rather than reflect different responses of a constant genotype to dif f went cultivation conditions. Elliot & Jones in Encyclopaedia of Australian p&ts . . . . 5-12 F .J. C. mrs in Graw More Australian Plants (quoting Beard? ) 7-10 Beard in Descriptive Catalogue of West Australian Plants . 7-10 Harion Shmms in Acacias of Australia Vol two ...... 6-10 Mfi observations of three plants from same parental line . . . 2-8 Abut the only concurrence in these figures is the absence of flowering in January. I should be interested in any observations by other studp group miubers of this species in the wild or with plants grown from seed of Iwmn exact provenance. These reports could form the basis of a later article. (M.A. McDowall, 10 Russell St Bulleen, VIC 3105 or nmcamaiblbpc.org.au). Occurrence: The range of the species is given by Sirmnons from north of Geraldton southwest to Southern Cross on sandy or gravelly (granite) soils.

When my wife Regina and I were travelling in WA in September 1991 through ' ' cleared land on Paynes Find Road from Ninghan to Win we were surprised to come across a sign pointing to Jibberding Hall, in a cleared area to the south of the ~- road, but no sign of the renowned acacia. As the day was late we pressed on toward Win. A later inspection of the Mongers 1:100000 map (1966) showed locations designated as Jibberding, Jibberding Spring and Jibberding Bore in partly cleared Wand just east of the southern end of Lake Mongers.

Maintenance : Light tip pruning needs to be done frequently when the plant is young and especially toward the end of the flowering season before new shoot growth has begun, as shoot regeneration does not occur readily from the old wocd. For this reason, attempts to shape the tree by hard pruning once it has bec0me.t~ large for its situation can result in a bare leggy base with flowering restricted mostly to the upper branches. Heavy prunmg after new shoot growth has begun (e.g. in nid-Sprmg) can kill the tree. ACACIA CITRINOVIRIDIS: WA 7-8 x 3-6m Section Juliflorae From seed obtained from WA Wildflower Society my first plant was grown in the same dry heavy clay-loam bed at my former workplace. It grew -ow and upright, more slowly than A. jibberdingensis, only spreading more near the crown after many years. Flowering time was reported by Elliott & Jones as 4-6 and sporadic but my plant flowered 2-5 most years. Flower heads are light yellow ovoid heads or short splkes. Phyllodes are narrow hairy grey-green, with young shoots covered with iridescent citron-green hairs - giving the plant its name. Another plant grown on a steep heavy clay bank has become overgrown by other trees and has remained extremely stunted after 15 years.

AcAcm KEYS AND FIL3RA.

It is now estimteci that the tm Acacia volumes of "Flora of Austraia" which Max Ycmall locks fcrward to will not be ;?ublishe6 until inid-1998 at least. Acacia enthusiasts will find tiis ?isa~pinting,but the electronic keys in the "'V~TTLE" project ,nay well prove rare accessible an6 more accurate than the print& keys where parameters inust often be evaluata subjectively. Just hcw big is large? etc. The flexibility of the electronic concept will enable it to be kept up to date wit5 new infomation and name changes etc. WFVlXLE AND MLEGIES New South Lales President, Val Xilliams, has raised the mtter of "-4llergic Reactions to Acacia Pollen1'.This interest arose when Val an3 Ray Page prepare a 28 page issue of "Tie mula Lsaguer", title "hattlel'for distribution to every priiiy schwl in N%-, This issue was supparted by donations of just under $4000 frm District Groups to enable it to be distribute in schools not rrirs of the League. It was aime5 at helping teachers celebrate Wattle Day and is full of wattle relate6 information and. activities. Copies can be obtain& by senbg $6.00 to SGAP XSK, P.O. Box 744, Blacktown, NSG 2148. Val's inquiries about allergies included information frm Dr. Diana Bass, Consultant to the Asthma Foundation of NSI' and Dr. C. H. Katelaris a consultant on Clinical Inmunology and Allergy. The information provided pointed out that acacias are insect pollinated an6 the pollen is sticky and sanewhat larger than wind blown pollens. Acacia pollen although found in pllen traps is not found in large quantities and although sensitivity to acacia pollen is not unmnin prick tests severe reactions are seldan found fran wattles alone. Same writers believe the perfume is mre irritating than the pollen. Broken fragments of pollen grains may also be wind borne and possible irritants. Writing in the 18th Acacia Stuiiy Group newsletter (Dec. 19641, our first leader, Dr. Keane wrcdze: " (There) is the wide sprea5 belief that wattle pollen causes hay fever. Now this is a very serious objection in the min& of gardeners and others and understandably so, since it involves the question of their health, It does not, however, stand up to any reasonable investigation; it simply is not true. I would go so far as to assert that this pollen is a rare cause of hay fever. Over many years of referring people for hay fever tests I have yet to find one sensitive to acacia pollen. I know it can happen, as it does with every plant growing, in certain cases, but at the mrst, it is ncj more guilty than the rest of growing things."

Wattle Day grew out of interest aroused by K. S. Snowden in South Australia in 1889. It went through various phases in the different states and remained popular into the 1950s. It was revived and in Australia's Bicentennial Year, 1988, the 1st of September was prcxlained "VJattle my". -,

The Cc?nrmn~ltF1 Government Gazetts on 18th Januazy 1913, show- +he Australian coat-of-arms with the addition of wattle blosscm. Tnis addition had - recamende5 by the then ?rim Xinister, Andre4 Fisher. During k?arld War I, wattle becane the sentimental memento tuck& into letters sent tc servicema to remind theii cf hame. Such his the dmdfor sprigs that the date of tattle Dsy was change5 to 1st August when a grater nuinbers of Acacia species were in blm. Thus same canfusion arose over the date of Wattle Day.
