Water moves freely from the top of the plug to the bottom. Wet (4) Media looks black and is not glistening. The media feels wet to the touch but there is very little water movement. Moist (3) Water is not easily visible. When finger is pressed on the cell there is very little movement from top to bottom. Medium (2) Media is not black, but now looks medium brown. There is no water movement when pressed with finger. Dry (1) Media has changed color to a very light brown and is dry to the touch. Seed Technology Seed forms Coating Some plant species produce seed that has a very flat or irregular shape and, as a result, is complicated to single-sow. Coating the seed to give it a rounder shape and smoother surface can help to solve the problem. Thicker coatings tend to be used to improve sowability. This type of coating is also called encrustation. Thinner coatings are used to make seed placement easier to identify during the sowing process, and to act as markers. www.benary.com 4 Pelleting Some crop species have extremely small seeds which cannot be single-sown. For this reason the raw seed is pelleted. The seed is coated to build a pellet that is approximately 5 to 20 times the size of the actual seed it contains. Pellets allow plug growers to easily sow and control the number of seed per cell. Multipellets Multipellets are just like standard pellets except each pellet contains several seeds. This makes producing some species such as lobelia erinus or portulaca easier by producing a bushy plant with just one pellet. ApeX Many perennials from seed such as lavandula need to overcome a natural dormancy for proper germination. Methods such as resting the seed for a specific period of time, and chemical treatments can be used to ‘break’ this dormancy and insure that the seed has the optimum germination for growers. Benary ApeX treatment increases the young plant yield up to 15-30 %. Optimal storage: Up to 6 months at 41 °F (5 °C) Priming Seed germination is initiated up to a certain stage of physiological development, then the seed is dried back and stored at low temperatures. Primed seeds germinate more quickly and more uniformly. The increased uniformity often continues well into the advanced young plant stage. This faster seedling development allows plug growers to use greenhouse space more efficiently. At the same time, faster seedling development reduces the number of losses that can occur during the critical germination period.

    NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012

    NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012 Hansen's Northwest Native Plant Database www.nwplants.com Foreword Once upon a time, there was a very kind older gentleman who loved native plants. He lived in the Pacific northwest, so plants from this area were his focus. As a young lad, his grandfather showed him flowers and bushes and trees, the sweet taste of huckleberries and strawberries, the smell of Giant Sequoias, Incense Cedars, Junipers, pines and fir trees. He saw hummingbirds poking Honeysuckles and Columbines. He wandered the woods and discovered trillium. When he grew up, he still loved native plants--they were his passion. He built a garden of natives and then built a nursery so he could grow lots of plants and teach gardeners about them. He knew that alien plants and hybrids did not usually live peacefully with natives. In fact, most of them are fierce enemies, not well behaved, indeed, they crowd out and overtake natives. He wanted to share his information so he built a website. It had a front page, a page of plants on sale, and a page on how to plant natives. But he wanted more, lots more. So he asked for help. I volunteered and he began describing what he wanted his website to do, what it should look like, what it should say. He shared with me his dream of making his website so full of information, so inspiring, so educational that it would be the most important source of native plant lore on the internet, serving the entire world.

    J.M. Percy-Bower & C.M. Parker, Updates to Western Australia’s vascular plant census for 2018 1 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 30: 1–18 Published online 28 March 2019 SHORT COMMUNICATION Updates to Western Australia’s vascular plant census for 2018 The census database at the Western Australian Herbarium (PERTH), which provides the nomenclature for the website FloraBase (Western Australian Herbarium 1998–), lists current names and recent synonymy for Western Australia’s native and naturalised vascular plants, as well as algae, bryophytes, lichens, slime moulds and some fungi. The names represented in the census are either sourced from published research or denote as yet unpublished names based on herbarium voucher specimens. We herein summarise the changes made to vascular plant names in this database during 2018. One hundred and twenty-nine taxa were newly recorded for the State, of which 24 are naturalised and 41 have been added to the Threatened and Priority Flora list for Western Australia (Smith & Jones 2018; Western Australian Herbarium 1998–) (Table 1). A total of 185 name changes were made, including the formal publication of 29 phrase-named taxa (Table 2). Plant groups for which a number of name changes were made include Hydrocotyle L. (Perkins 2018a, 2018b), Drosera L. (Lowrie 2013a, 2013b, 2014), Lepilaena Harv. (Ito et al. 2016; Macfarlane et al. 2017) and Zygophyllum L. (transferred to Roepera A.Juss. following Beier et al. 2003). Numerous phrased-named taxa in the genus Baeckea L. were formally published under an expanded circumscription of Hysterobaeckea (Nied.) Rye (Rye 2018). Table 2 also includes cases where there has been a change of taxonomic concept, misapplication, exclusion or rank change.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

Ptilotus gaudichaudii (Steud.) J.M.Black is now considered to comprise three subspecies: P. gaudichaudii subsp. gaudichaudii, P. gaudichaudii subsp. eremita (S.Moore) Lally, comb. et stat. nov. and P. gaudichaudii subsp. parviflorus (Benth.) Lally, comb. et stat. nov. A further subspecies is recognised in P. nobilis (Lindl.) F.Muell.: P. nobilis subsp. angustifolius (Benl) Lally & W.R.Barker, comb. et stat. nov. and its geographical range is clarified. Ptilotus nobilis var. pallidus Benl is reduced to a synonym of P. nobilis subsp. nobilis. Ptilotus spathulatus f. angustatus Benl is also reduced to synonymy under P. spathulatus (R.Br.) Poir. Keys to infraspecific taxa in P. gaudichaudii and P. nobilis are presented. Key words: Amaranthaceae, Ptilotus, taxonomy, nomenclature, South Australia.
