Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Plants (DPI Vic)
April, 1995 Nutrient deficiency symptoms of AG0257 plants ISSN 1329-8062 David Beardsell, Knoxfield Plants must absorb certain elements to live and grow. Carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) are the elements supplied from air and water. The growing media generally supplies the remaining nutrients required for plant growth. The major elements or macronutrients required by the plant are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulphur (S). The minor elements, trace elements or micronutrients necessary for healthy plant production are molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), boron (B), iron (Fe), and chlorine (Cl). Deficiencies or imbalances in supply of these essential elements can cause growth reductions, and in more severe cases visual symptoms are expressed in leaves and flowers. Nitrogen deficiency (N) Nitrogen is required by plants in higher concentrations than any of the other elements, except potassium in certain instances. Plants grown without nitrogen grow very slowly. Plants are stunted and show a general yellowing of the foliage. The symptoms of nitrogen deficiency will first occur in the older leaves. The leaves turn from a pale green Figure 1. Symptoms of nitrogen deficiency include stunted plant colour to a yellow and eventually leaf drop occurs. The growth.

ISSN1035-7394 Number 2 June 2014 Boronia and Allied Genera Australian Native Plants Society (Australia) Inc. Boronia and Allied Genera Study Group Newsletter Contents 1 Responses from Regions concerning growing Boronias 2 Diana’s Bath and ‘That’ Crowea 3 Allied Genera - Asterolasia 4 Purchasing Boronias 1 ISSN1035-7394 Number 2 June 2014 Growing Boronias A couple of responses were received to the survey in the last newsletter. I look forward to receiving further responses from other States and locations. Margaret Lee writes of growing Boronia megastigma on a commercial scale in the Adelaide Hills on the eastern slopes of Mount Lofty. The plants are growing in well drained loam over acid clay on an east facing slope and are sheltered from strong winds by an adjacent plantation of Waratah and surrounding Eucalyptus obliqua. The location reproduces the Mediterranean climate favoured by B. megastigma in its natural environment with winter rainfall of 600mm. Drip irrigation is used to prevent the soil drying out during long dry spells in summer. Drip irrigation is probably critical in plant survival avoiding excessive moisture whilst preventing desiccation as the location experiences maximum temperatures of 40 ˚ C and occasional frosts down to -5 ˚ C. Margaret is planning to grow another western species B. heterophylla which she has observed growing in the foothills south of Adelaide. Jan Sked writes from south east Queensland that her garden is heavily shaded with poorly draining soil and is more suited to rainforest plants. Nevertheless, she has grown B. rismarinifolia and B. keysii in pots. Jan reports that nine species of boronia grow within the Moreton District, bounded by Coolangatta, Noosa and Toowoomba.

Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there.

Geographic Variation in Crowea Exalata (Rutaceae) and the Recognition of Two New Subspecies
Telopea 12(2) 193–213 Geographic variation in Crowea exalata (Rutaceae) and the recognition of two new subspecies Wayne A. Gebert1 and Marco F. Duretto2 1 National Herbarium of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Private Bag 2000, South Yarra, VIC, 3141, Australia 2 Tasmanian Herbarium, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Private Bag 4, Hobart, TAS, 7001, Australia Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Crowea exalata F.Muell. was sampled throughout its morphological and geographical range to test the validity of the current circumscription of the species and subspecies. Through numerical analysis of morphological and chemical (leaf flavonoids and volatile oils) data four taxa are recognised, subsp. exalata, subsp. revoluta Paul G.Wilson, subsp. magnifolia Gebert subsp. nov. and subsp. obcordata Gebert subsp. nov. Descriptions and a key to all taxa are provided. Introduction Crowea Sm. (Rutaceae) is an Australian genus of three species that was first described by J.E. Smith and named in honour of James Crowe esq. F.L.S. (Smith 1798, 1808). Smith, however, was not one to give specific epithets to species of monotypic genera, and in the case of Crowea this was done by Andrews (1800) when he described C. saligna Andrews (see Wilson 1970). Members of Crowea are multi-stemmed, erect, evergreen, woody perennials to 2 m tall with white to rose pink, solitary, axillary flowers. Probably the closest relative to Crowea is Eriostemon Sm. (Bayly et al. 1998; Wilson 1998). Eriostemon contains two species, E. australasius Pers. and E. banksii A.Cunn. ex Endl. Eriostemon australasius is often found in sympatry with C.

Pink Wax Flower
Eriostemon australasius Pink Wax Flower Nothing heralds the arrival of Spring in Sydney bushland better than the glorious pink flowers of Eriostemon, the Pink Wax flower and its close relations, the Boronias. This lovely shrub is not only common on sandstone ridges around Sydney but grows in heath, woodland and forests along the coast from Lake Conjola south of Wollongong to Fraser Island in south-eastern Queensland. Until relatively recently, there were many species recognised as Eriostemon. However, most of these have now been transferred to the genus Philotheca, initially leaving only two species, E. australsius and a second species, E. banksii which grows on the northern tip of Cape York in far north Queensland. But now it appears that E. banksii has been reclassified as merely a sub-species, in other words, E. australasius subsp. banksii. E. australasius was the first Eriostemon to be described by botanists, so this species is known as the type species. Eriostemon belongs in the plant family Rutaceae, characteristically trees and Eriostemon australasius shrubs with conspicuous oil subsp. banksii glands in the leaves. Crush a leaf and take a sniff – this Eriostemon australasius fragrance is loved by some, subsp. australasius loathed by others! For Sydneysiders, it always brings back childhood memories of the Sydney bush. The family has Gondwanan origins, although now widespread throughout tropical and temperate regions of the world. Probably the best known Rutaceae are the citrus fruit (oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, mandarins). Don't confuse Eriostemon with Boronia: the former has five petals, the latter only four. There is another trap for the unwary too.
