Vegetation Condition Benchmarks version 1 Scrub, Heathland and Coastal Complexes SBR Broadleaf scrub: Olearia/Bedfordia facies Community Description: Broadleaf scrub is a closed-canopy scrub 4-8 m high which occurs where fire-frequencies are low, generally as patches within wet forest or openings in rainforest or along cliff tops in the south-east. Dominant small trees include any of Notelaea ligustrina, Pomaderris apetala, Beyeria viscosa, Bedfordia salicina, Prostanthera lasianthos and Olearia argophylla. In coastal sand sheet shrubberies Pomaderris apetala may share dominance with Cenarrhenes nitida and sometimes Monotoca glauca with a few Dicksonia antarctica and Anopterus glandulosus above a sparse fern ground layer. There may be sparse emergent eucalypts. This benchmark is one of 2 benchmarks available to assess the condition of SBR and is suitable for assessment of the core Olearia-Bedfordia-dominated expression of this vegetation. A separate benchmark is available for assessing the condition of the listed Notelaea-Pomaderris-Beyeria forest community (Schedule 3A, Nature Conservation Act 2002).

Facies dominated by Myoporum insulare are distinct from those dominated by Leptospermum laevigatum. Diagnostic species include Zygophyllum billardierei, and Beyeria lechenaultii var. latifolia. Younger examples of the formation may be dense scrubs. In some older examples the understorey may be open and grassy and small byes may occur. In undisturbed examples, the understorey cover is often 100%. Regardless of location, this community is distinguished from other scrubs by having coastal species over a predominantly grassy and herbaceous understorey on deep alkaline sands.

  • PROTEACEAE – It's All About Pollination
    PROTEACEAE – it’s all about pollination …….Gail Slykhuis Illustration Philippa Hesterman, images Ellinor Campbell & Marg McDonald A predominantly southern hemisphere plant family, Proteaceae is well represented in Australia, particularly in the West, but we do have our own equally special local representatives, some of which are outlined below. A characteristic feature of many genera within this plant family is the ‘pollen presenter’, which is a fascinating mechanism by which the pollen, which would otherwise be difficult to access for potential pollination vectors such as bees, birds and nectarivorous mammals, is positioned on the extended style of the flower, facilitating cross- pollination. The stigma, which is part of the style, is not mature at this time, thus avoiding self-pollination. A hand lens would enable you to clearly see pollen presenters on the following local representatives: Banksia marginata, Grevillea infecunda, Hakea spp., Isopogon ceratophyllus and Lomatia illicifolia. It is interesting to note that both Victorian Smoke-bush Conospermum mitchellii and Prickly Geebung Persoonia juniperina, also found in our district, do not have pollen presenters. Silver Banksia Banksia marginata This shrub or small tree is readily recognisable when flowering (Feb – July) by the conspicuous yellow pollen presenters, which are an obvious floral part of the banksia flower. These flowers then slowly mature into our iconic woody banksia cones. It is interesting to observe the changes in the nature of the pollen presenters as the flower develops. The white undersides of the leathery leaves provide a clue to the choice of common name with their tip being characteristically blunt or truncate. Anglesea Grevillea Grevillea infecunda One of our endemic plants, the Anglesea Grevillea was first named in 1986 and is Anglesea Grevillea found in several locations north west of Anglesea.

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.

The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted.
