Asgap Pewslh'i A.S.G.A.P. CYCAD, WMIAD AND PALM STUDY GROUP PEWSLH'I"1ZR NO.. 58 - DECBMBBR, 1993 - JANUARY , 1994 Leader : Len P, Butt - Phone No, 07 8483515 Asst : Brian Runnegar - Phone No. 07 2861164 Jottings- taken around the Northern Territory in July. 1990 Various, to me serious factors made me miss one of my ambitions, the Cycad 90 conference held at Townsville, Pbwever it was not to be so that period became oce of pure joy for me, visiting Darwin, lodging at the Barracks, and with the P.A.C.S.O.A. branch there we traver-eed a wide area from west Darwin down Cox Peninsular to Fogg Bay to see the huge cycas there, a really interesting and tall one, first that I know of named for a Mr. Burns a local gardener come botanist, the name was never made valid and even now the plants carry about three common names, Cox Peninsular, Fogg Bay and Finnis Ricer sppOoo I have even heard it said it could be a cross of Armstrongii and Angulata. Suffice to say Dendrobium affine (Syn. dicughum) grows well on its caudex. Sometimes just a litle higher than the man made wild fires go. Same week we came to the biggest cycas on the road down from Drrrwin towards Katherine, This was the very tall multi-trunked armstroagii type, about at least 10 metres high badly burned low down but just getting its new fronds, At this point it is as well to mention others in our little expedition like Honty Anderson, that very capable cycos stalwart, George Brown then curator of Darwin Gardens, Professor Robert Ornduff, Libby Debbie, Bijan Dehgan, Wrty and Bluey Bishop, these being those I actually was introduced to and I apologise if some were not mentioned as there were abeut twenty of us, Cycas armstrongii grew a11 along the roadside between Darwin and Katherine, many had new fronds after fires, it is generally the only species along that road except the very silver colony of cycas calcicola just outside Utherine, Remembering that trip out to the Fogg Bay area one could not easily forget the impressive stand of Cycas Calcicola. We wandered through skirting the edge of Litchfield Park, Silver fawn is the best described colour of their new foliage, each also with a skirt of light brown from old frmds. That day we also examined the magnetic and cathederal type termite mounds in a11 their grandeuro The following day we set out to go right to Katherine and made a side-turn into a road near Pine Creek heading up a back road toward Kakadua It was along that road we found three rather small colonies of the new pine creek species, which the botanist Sharon Chirgwin has named cycas conferta. A rather beautiful addition to our world of the cycads, wcll worth its name, previously it had been pine creek species. Dr. Deghan was very impressed and examined it wcll. Arriving at Katherine we a11 went out to Joe ?erner9s home where we saw the very impressive collection tbt literally fills his property, hardly room to walk among them. At that pint I selected from a showing of prints the photo of Joe and the Cycas furfuraceae that was used on the cover of the 1990 booklet IntroducSng Cycas. Among the places of significance seen in that week of activities apart from that garden, was the Darwin Gardens, krty Bishop's cycad/palm property and Monty Anderson ' s cycad collection, Host of my fellow enthusiasts headed then across country to Townsville for that conference, but I went back to Darwin. Before actually leaving the territory, I took a mini bus trip into the Litchfield Park itself* Others on that journey were excited about the grand waterfalls, the very panoramic scenery of which there is plenty, the spectacular climb dawn into gorges etc. etc. For me my impressions stay with the great hillsides of Cycas Calcicola we found at the upper side of the first falls, Yes, and also the gaze down to one falls over the tops of Carpentaria acuminata, maybe over thirty metres high, some seemed much more, I must not leave out the grand stands of Livistona humilis that was everywhere. These jottings would not be complete if I failed to say that back again in Brisbane on a special night, I did meet o.ther dignitaries of that cycad conference. Professor Divya Pant of India, Professor Nat Grobeelar, and Knut J, Norsogg, Professor Dehgan was also there, L.P. Butt h .L Please remember this year your subscription kecomes due June 1st. 1994.

These functions are supported by existing services and infrastructure. All this occurs within a landscape framework. It is recognised that the landscape development of the site is a significant factor in establishing a distinct character that reflects the overall development philosophy and objectives as described in the Masterplan. The landscape masterplan prepared by Greening Australia in 2005 established a landscape approach ‘that incorporates and builds on the strengths of the Rapid Creek catchment’s unique plant communities that include riparian monsoon forest, eucalypt woodland, melaleuca swamps and wetlands”. The resultant landscape deliberately introduces international and national visitors to the beauty and diversity of the Top End environment and associated flora. In order to provide clear direction to future works within the precinct, it has been recognised that a ‘kit of part’ comprising distinct landscape treatments is required.

    Botany News #1 - April 22, 2020 California Academy of Sciences Osbeckia octandra (a Princess Flower). Frank Almeda Hello to our volunteers, Happy Volunteer Week! Thank you for all that you do and we look forward to having you back with us. We all miss you dearly, so we have prepared this newsletter to let you know what we have been up to recently. Please enjoy reading these stories in our first newsletter, and we will keep you updated in the future. We hope that you are all well and safe during this challenging time. Please let us know if you need anything. With our best wishes from the Botany Department Making the Rounds Deb Trock The Collection Managers have been taking turns making rounds through all of the collection spaces each weekday. I have been fortunate enough to be able to make a couple of trips to the building to do rounds and check on the mail that is still coming in. I can tell you that the building is as empty as Emily describes in her update. I’ve encountered a couple of biologists on my rounds and they report that - for the most part - the animals are enjoying their little break from people. I think the penguins are a bit lonely, but Claude seems quite happy. Pestec, our pest management contractor, has been working hard to help us monitor and reduce the number of rodent and insect pests that we are constantly dealing with in our unique building. They report that, with the absence of food and people in the building, the rodents are going into the traps much better, so we are getting a much better handle on what has been an ongoing problem.

'phone : (07) 3200 0265 Email : krathie@powerup. com.au Mea culpa : Again a. late newsletter, I fear. ~ar~elydue to a bout of Ross River Fever which laid me low for over 3 months. It is one of those viruses that hits you harder the older you are, & I an1 no spring chicken. In the meantime the weeds ran riot in my nursery area, & I am still restoring order. Weather & plant b1:haviour : A mild summer was followed by a cooler than usual autumn, early on, which got no colder until the first frost (-3 degrees C.) on June 16th. The preceding 4 weeks or so had almost all been minimums of 10 degrees C or more. My surviving Cycas calcicola has stayed leafless this year, but the caudex is still firm, so it is probably alive. C. megacarpa plants (from around Bundaberg) in my garden can miss a year, I've noted. As of 15-7-01, my large C. armstrongii has its -leaves about 50% white,'& my biggest C. maconochiei-about 85 % white. My largest C. 'kennedyana' (prol~ablya hybrid of C. media) is about 20% white. They have reached their present stage of gradual shutdown about 6 weeks later than the equivalent stage last year. In late February 2001 my biggest C. armstrongii started to flush again, with 30 new leaves ( a trifle shorter than those of the October flush).Among the exotic cycads, a group of ten Encephalartos lehmannii all had a second flush in April-May, as did many Dioons.

This is because you never know exactly what will emerge from the randomness of events that lead to the meeting. Fortunately the lead up to the 2016 Annual Conference of the Australasian Systematic Botany Society had by and large positive things occur, particularly the remarkable weather providing amazing botanical jewels to see throughout the region where we are meeting. We have attracted a diverse and exciting group of conference participants from across Australia, New Zealand and the world! The program we have put together is interesting and includes the latest in systematics and taxonomy, sharing of regional knowledge from central and northern Australia and exploration of trans-Tasman research and collections.

His last illness was of 3 weeks duration, & up until then he was still writing articles & contacting members of the ten or so societies & clubs of which he was a member. He is survived by two sons & his wife Daphne, who is also a plant-person but not addicted to palms & cycads. I've had many notes & cails from people wishing Len well during his illness, or regretting his passing. He was a founder member of the Palm & Cycad Society of Aust.(PACSOA), the Bromeliad Society, & I think the Pot Plant Society, & an early member & vigorous contributor to SGAP. Until he gave me this cycad study group job last year,he was the longest-serving leader of an SGAP study group. Len's sheer enthusiam for plants-- of-- all kinds, but especiallyhis-beloved cycads, bromeliads & orchids, was palpable.And his wide knowledge of these & other plants was remarkable considering his lack of other than basic education. Len spent many years as a horticulturist at the then Dept. of Forestry, talking people into tree-planting, & then got even busier once he retired. He wrote 2 booklets on cycads, one on Cycas spp. which was published as an issue of Aust.
