Local Native Plants of the Lower Hunter and Their Use in Gardens HIP Species Lists Local native plants of the Lower Hunter and their use in gardens Why use local native plants? • Flora and habitat conservation By planting local native plants we directly contribute to the conservation of the flora of the local area. As many species of birds, mammals, reptiles and other fauna are dependant on local vegetation we can also contribute to habitat conservation. • Genetic conservation/ integrity The use of seed collected from local native plants contributes to the maintenance of genetic variation and integrity within native species. • Economic benefits As local native plants have adapted over long periods of time to suit local conditions the use of plants grown from locally collected seed generally result in greater long term survival rates from plantings undertaken. • Local landscape character The character of our landscape is provided largely by the local indigenous vegetation. • Education The use of local native plants provides opportunities for learning about the local environment. (See Ralph, Seed Collection of Australian Native Plants:For Revegetation, Tree Planting, and Direct Seeding, pp. 1-3) How local is local? “This is an important question but a complex one to answer. The definition of ‘local’ provenance is widely debated and researched. Likewise, the importance of using ‘local’ provenance is either hotly debated or completely ignored.” (Carr, 2004) We need to consider the following factors when deciding the importance of using ‘local’ provenance seed: 1. Species factors • The species used • The pollination and seed dispersal mechanisms of the species • The density of the species in natural stands • The species’ longevity • Any known sub-specific variation (subspecies, morphological variation, clines, ‘ecological significant units’, etc. 2. Site factors • The location of the planting • The proximity to other sites of conservation value • The degree of change in the environment of the site • The condition and quality of local vegetation where seed could be collected • The purpose of the revegetation Jennifer Wightman & Lachlan Anderson à ABN 22 556 374 123 36 Weakleys Drive Beresfield NSW 2322 à Ph/Fax: (02) 4966 0457 à Mobile: 0422 959 221 Email: [email protected] HIP Species Lists Warren Mortlock and Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Trust (2000) recommend three classes for collection ranges. A summery of the three classes follows: Collection range Plant categories Narrow forbs & herbs wattles peas orchids & lilies Intermediate ferns & allies heaths & understorey shrubs daises grasses fleshy fruit plants (not trees) banksias casuarinas & conifers ?? eucalypts, angophoras, callistemons Regional trees with fleshy fruit I would also place wetland species (which Mortlock does not mention) in the Regional class as there is a lot of bird movement between wetlands. David Carr (Greening Australia) also suggests two further classes: • Non-provenanced (non-regional)/bulked seed due to reduced cost of collection • Improved/selected seed specified for forestry, bush-food production, pasture grasses, fodder, firewood or oils Jennifer Wightman & Lachlan Anderson à ABN 22 556 374 123 36 Weakleys Drive Beresfield NSW 2322 à Ph/Fax: (02) 4966 0457 à Mobile: 0422 959 221 Email: [email protected] HIP Species Lists Windbreaks, screens & hedges The selection of appropriate windbreak or screening plants would vary according to your soil conditions.

Banksia vincentia (Proteaceae), a new species known from fourteen plants from south-eastern New South Wales, Australia MARGARET L. STIMPSON1, JEREMY J. BRUHL1 & PETER H. WESTON2 1 Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351 Australia Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] 2 National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia Abstract Possession of hooked, distinctively discolorous styles, a broadly flabellate common bract subtending each flower pair, and a lignotuber place a putative new species, Banksia sp. 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.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

News from the Nursery We are madly propagating at the moment, with many thousands of new cuttings putting their roots out and seedlings popping their heads up above the propagating mix. It is always an exciting time, as we experiment with seed from new species – sometimes they work, and sometimes we understand why we’ve never grown them before... New plants should start being put out into the sales area soon – fresh-faced little things ready to pop into the ground! We have recently purchased a further block of land from the ex-neighbours Jubilee Nursery, now sadly closed, that will give us a lot more flexibility and the ability to grow and store more plants. As mentioned last newsletter we have done some major revamping in the garden. A lot of work by all the staff has led to a much more open garden with a lovely Westringia brevifolia hedge (well, it will be a hedge when it grows a bit), another Micrantheum hexandrum Cream Cascade hedge-to-be, lots of Correas, Lomatias and Baueras. Where we sell a few forms of a particular species we have tried to plant examples of each so that we can show you what they are like.

Copying of any part of this thesis is prohibited for two years from the date this statement was signed; after that time limited copying is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Karen A. Johnson iii iv Abstract Relationships between plants and their pollinators are thought to have played a major role in the morphological diversification of angiosperms. The epacrids (subfamily Styphelioideae) comprise more than 550 species of woody plants ranging from small prostrate shrubs to temperate rainforest emergents. Their range extends from SE Asia through Oceania to Tierra del Fuego with their highest diversity in Australia. The overall aim of the thesis is to determine the relationships between epacrid floral features and potential pollinators, and assess the evolutionary status of any pollination syndromes. The main hypotheses were that flower characteristics relate to pollinators in predictable ways; and that there is convergent evolution in the development of pollination syndromes.

E-mail [email protected] 1 1. INTRODUCTION Belated recognition (Gammage 2012) that much of the Australian landscape is a cultural landscape has refocused interest in the environments encountered by Europeans at the time of first settlement of Sydney Cove in 1788 – both as evidence for (i) the impact of millennia of skilful burning by Australia's Indigenous inhabitants and (ii) as a bench mark to assess change shaped by c. 225 years of European occupation. As for the Tank Stream Valley (Macphail 2014a), direct evidence of the 1788 environment is mostly limited to observations in early Colonial documents and fossils in late eighteen century or older sediments fortuitously preserved under younger cultural deposits. Redevelopment of the foreshore of Darling Harbour has provided a unique opportunity to reconstruct the pre- and post-European settlement landscapes encompassing Cockle Bay, the most eastern bay in the complex of bays called 'the harbour-within-the harbour' by Stephenson & Kennedy 1980). Unlike the eastern (Sydney CBD ridge) foreshore of Cockle Bay, which was occupied by Europeans in the 1790s, the southwestern (Ultimo-Pyrmont) foreshore was part of a large Colonial Period Estate (Harris Estate) that was quarantined from urban developments into the 1850s (Fitzgerald & Golder 2009).

January 2015 has arrived with major variations in our weather, hot days, bush fires and now days of rain and cool weather. Our Australian plants have to adjust to a wealth of climatic conditions. Here in Colac it has been fairly mild. The drier than normal conditions continued through November and December with maximum daytime temperatures seldom reaching 30 degrees C. In early January there were three days of temperatures in the high thirtys but then the rain came and we are back to cooler weather. Rainfall for January was 70mm. The Hakeas have put on a fair degree of growth, most tripling their height since they went in. Out of ninety species only two have died probably due to poor root development and wind. Colac is a windy place and most of the Hakeas have been subject to strong winds. I have been planting the taller species such as macraeana, salicifolia fine leaf, drupacea and oleifolia on the perimeter to hopefully deflect some of the wind across the property. The original two truck loads of native mulch have been spread over five sheets of newspaper on the garden beds and has been very effective in reducing weed growth. I was hoping for another truckload of native mulch but had to settle for a load of pine bark which is now being spread on the remaining raised up beds. I am putting it on thinly as I want any moisture to go through to the soil belm~Tkepheba~k wilttakelongw tobreak down tse, In-rren urbanareaswhere bush fires could- - occur I would recommend a gravel mulch as wood mulch burns and only does more damage to the plants.

    645 Vegetation and flora of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve, lower North Coast of New South Wales. S.J. Griffith, R. Wilson and K. Maryott-Brown Griffith, S.J.1, Wilson, R.2 and Maryott-Brown, K.3 (1Division of Botany, School of Rural Science and Natural Resources, University of New England, Armidale NSW 2351; 216 Bourne Gardens, Bourne Street, Cook ACT 2614; 3Paynes Lane, Upper Lansdowne NSW 2430) 2000. Vegetation and flora of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve, lower North Coast of New South Wales. Cunninghamia 6(3): 645–715. The vegetation of Booti Booti National Park and Yahoo Nature Reserve on the lower North Coast of New South Wales has been classified and mapped from aerial photography at a scale of 1: 25 000. The plant communities so identified are described in terms of their composition and distribution within Booti Booti NP and Yahoo NR. The plant communities are also discussed in terms of their distribution elsewhere in south-eastern Australia, with particular emphasis given to the NSW North Coast where compatible vegetation mapping has been undertaken in many additional areas.
