We havealso benefitedfrom accessto recently acquireddata on allozyme and DNA markers. The early history of the systematicsof south-westernAustralian orchids is reviewed here. It comprisedtwo phases:(1) the first encountersby Europeansand (2) the early colonial phasein which James Drummond was prominent. The strong reliance of taxonomists on the collections and observationsof interestedrcsident orchid enthusiastsis a recunent featureof this history, Our taxonomic conceptsfor genera,species, subspecies and hybdds are described. New taxa are consideredto be speciesif they grow in populations(i.e. are not aberrantindividuals within normal populations),if they have featuresor a combination of featuresnot seenin any previously named species,and especially if they grow with previously named speciesand produce few or no natural hybrids. Geographicalraces with minor morphologicaldifferences are recognized as subspecies. These may hybridize and intergmdeextensively where their geographicalranges overlap. Our emphasison biological as well as morphological attdbutesin recognizingspecies and subspeciesis a significant changeftom past practice. It leads to the recognitionof more specieswithin complexespreviously treatedas single polymorphic species(e.g. Caladeniafilamentosa R. Br., C. huegelii H.G. Reichlt.)- Thereare many practical advantages toourapproach, includingimproved management forconservation, improved cultivation, and more precisecommunication and conductofpopular and scientific studies on south-westemorchids. Nevr'genera, published elsewhere,are basedon numerical analysesof morphologicaldata, aswell asthe recently completed DNA sequencestudies ofKoreset al. (20O0,2001\. Introduction Two centuriesago, Archibald Menzies,surgeon and naturalistaboard the ILMS. Discovery, was the first European to make collections of Western Australian orchids. The Discovery, under the commandof CaptainGeorge Vancouver, was anchoredin King GeorgeSound from 28 Septemberto 11 October1791. "copious Menzies made a collection of ... yegetableproductions, principally the genusBantsia, which are here very numerous" from various sites onshore in the vicinity of present-dayAlbany (Maiden 1909; Heberle, undated). Three orchid specieswere subsequentlynamed from Menzies' specimens,including one bearinghis name-Leptoceras menzt€stt(R. Br.) Lindl., Caladenia flavaR. Br. andDiuris longifulla R. Br. (Brown 1810;Lindley 1830-1840). The presentseries ofpublications, basedon more than two decades'research, contdbutes towards the celebrationof the bicentenaryof Menzies' pioneeringcollections. Here,we provide a genemlintroduction to the series,and a new key to genem of south-westernAustralian orchids. South-westemAustralia is one ofthe few regionsin the world where the abundanceand diversity of terrcstdal orchids may be breathtaking (Hoffman & Brown 1992, 1.998). In some habitats, particularly the first spring after a fire, more than 40 specieshave beenrecorded in a few hectares,in somecases so abundantthat walking without treadingon them was impossible. But such situations are exceptional. Indeed, most residentsand tourists, professionalbotanists among them, overlook orchidsand underestimate the dch diversity found in the south-west.There are several reasons for this. e roJ 966I osrJJ oes)lsluEtoq unlrPqroq eql ol lsol eJPsJelcsJeqc cruouoxel AuEr! lEql sueurlJeos 3ur,{rp puu Surssard,{q pe olsrp os sr sprqcJoruolse^\-qlnos Jo Jnopo pus .rnoloJlrslep IeJnpruls 'sueupeds eqlJo qsnl{ unrJeqJeqIsuorlue^uor qlr^{ dluo ?u1pepur sruolqordclluouoxEl eruocre,ro fypquelsqns e,req suorlelndodprqJJo ur uolleue^ Surdpnls o1 seqceo:dde^\au'{lpuoros puv '(polepun '? e3:oag ry slueurelJ e) sJeqcruaserpuorsse;ord 'splr{Jro pw stsersnqlueprqcro uaa^leq uorlrerelq qql petellllJ€JJaqunJ seq Jo ,{pnlsrrJrluarrs pus uope,rgpc eql Surloruordo1 pelecrpep ,{cue8e Surpun; e1e,,lrJd e'uorlepunoC prqrrg uerTe.l1snvaqlJo poFad errr€ssJql Ja^o osg oqJ elqJssoduoeq a^sr{ asrn roqlo plno,r upql qJJuaseJJlluurelsds pruro; ur 'selEg 'U 'seuof 'I'C'so^lastno ecue,rpeplder erour pue e,rqcnpordu o1pel seq pue slueuelC V I I qll,{Sulnulluoc pu?a8roeg g y qlr,rSuoueuuoc'dnoJC orll qll,rslsuuouoxel prqcroluuorsse;ord;o 'exel luelrrellolut asolC peqlrcsepun,{ueurgo uorlerryluapr pue uorleJol eql pelelllrJeJseq sprJlsrp JreqlJosPlqJJo eql q1y'rruqluu; dleluunlursrequreru,{-4unoc3o uorsradsrp 1n;asn v sraqdeJSoloqdpuu slsErsnqlueprqJro peIHsJoJequnu?ulseoJJul ue JoJ punorSSurqzrl e sepoqqrnog puupedoleaep srq dnorg uorle,r:esuo3pu€ i(pnlS prlclO e^llBNuell84snVulelsei[ aql'sepBrepo^! ls€der{t ro^o',{IsrC 'scperuelsds plqcro u:elsea-r{lnosut secuelpeluoJJnJ aql ol pelnquluoc e^pq slueuala,{a1om1 'pe^alqJeeq uer tuesordexet aqt;o Surpuelsrapun11n; u eroJoqEJoU prqcJo s,uorSar eql uo auop eq ol spoeuI[gs oJoruqcnhl srTtr1snv tuelsaA\-qlnosur slre,rerduorlenlrs:eJJuls E',,osJrfuns ou seouroc llr,nrededsrql ur sercads.reuperpunq 'oeetuplqsro euo uuql eJou Jo uolldF sePeql usrlEJlsnveql urqlr,trsdnor8 xeldruoc q1r,nrellltuu; puB qcJBesersrql qlr^\ pelercosseasoql ol,, 'eeoceplqcJou?lJpJlsnv ruelsee uo uoqnqrrluoc rofeur slq ol uolleleJuJ lEql polJeurel (I :1661) sauol se 1sn1 puEqol etllos sexeldruocserceds go sarpnls pelJ€lopJo sllnsoJeql sEJse( qceepaglluepr eq ol senurluocEx?l A\euJo qllua,r V epuu ueeqe^pq '€rTuJlsnV sprqcrotuelse^\-qlnosJo sorJe^orsrp luecer ,{ueur 1eq13ursrrfuns 1ou sdeqrad sr 1r ulolsoi( ur 'slsruuloq luoplseJsleuolssolord;o ,{lrcnudeq1 pue pler; ldepelsou aq1o1 se8ue1leqr esaql ue^rC 'tg'a u|olt8uo1 sttnr1 J!.J'J'a ouou sr1t1sota14 "qqcreg ''rg'dtruosnpd "Jg'\osouawoltl g g rca8anq D J otuapoloS [,qpegrddl esoqlse qcns saxeldurocsarceds roJ uolAeJaql lnoq8nor parolunoruesluuuu,r;o uroqlald eql uo seureuSurculd 'uxul pue Sutpuelsrapunul dleq onlllJo aJe.t deq; luurru,rur,{le,rgu1er aq1 uo fluo uopeurJoJqInJosn papr,lord(tr961 unaorg ? uBruJJoH:996I uo$lclrA :0€6I eolled) sprqcro ruolse^\-qlnoso1 sep1n8 '(9661 '7661) 'flel?unuoJun PIaIJolqullu^e eql u.,torg T, uutulJoHJo uoll€crlqndluece.r aq1 lpun 'lse.,'r-t1lnosrqt ur eraueBqrg -sarceds:aq1opua (186I ?r raroddoH) s{ KlsouoS'(966y'6961'2961eul..lLo1)otasolg'(1661aEroeg) '(9161 DtprocuoA ullsuyq)arraey'(1661 reddoll 4lo{oorg:0661 31u1a1a4 ra4oo-rg)sndqocnq 'srnJso uI ueesl3r{l 01elqBreduoc slu?rrel pelrler ,{Iaso1c;olueuacsldor [€r!8o1ocero pclqderSoeS prdeg fSoloqdrour IeJoUu uorlerJel Jo ,{ErrBSuuep1,req e fzldsrp sprqcro;o sdno:3 euog '(9661 p o uoxrqlts6l eled ? uoxlq) s?lrsu,trou>[ ulqll.,.r elecol ol srnoq-uosredeuru;o e8ure,ru uB e{€l seoueJseJogurueeuerJelqns alrsnle esoq,{ elrsendrde us 'sJeSoU'A uaupo? oya4luozyqy 'pqcrg punor8rapu1eql qlra tse^\-qlnosaql ut qlruezslr saqoeerSuuer','og cpd,{ro ,{lrsualsrpw erurl eleudorddeaq1 1e erlJ roge ldecxo[p ts Je.trog{le]EI sprrlcloeurog uor1e1e3ea.ppueJod JeAlpleql dq ?uuds u1paraj;ord rnolor Jo lorJ eql ur peloolra,lo ,{gseee.lr l€ql sJa.rog snoncrdsuocurlltrrrs al€q '6661 eleue8aruog ,(q satceds79 pup (966I u,rorg T, reddog) reluysrzed ua,ras sarceds 67 o1(9961 euueg) oAEepsrep e serJedsgZ ruo{'A\oJ8 ol sanqluoc lsll prqcrooql',{lp

  • Wa Orchid Spectacular 2017 Four Day Tour
    WA ORCHID SPECTACULAR 2017 FOUR DAY TOUR Tour 1: 7–10 August 2017 Tour 2: 8–11 August 2017 Notes for attendees The four day tour will comprise two identical trips staged one day apart. The first trip departs from Perth on Monday 7 August and will be led by Andrew Brown author of ‘Orchids of Western Australia’ and ‘Field Guide to the Orchids of Western Australia’. The second trip departs on Tuesday 8 August and will be led by Garry Brockman co-author of ‘Field Guide to the Orchids of Western Australia’. The daily itinerary is tentative and may be subject to change. If we hear of particularly good orchid populations that are not currently included it may be modified to incorporate them. Some currently listed locations may also be removed if it is found they do not contain good orchid populations this year. It is anticipated, however, that most locations listed here will be visited during the trip. We will do four planned orchid stops most days but, if time permits, will also do one or two additional opportunistic stops. The amount of time spent at each planned orchid stop will vary depending on the number of orchids seen but will usually be around 45 minutes. Opportunistic stops will generally be around 30 minutes. We will also have two comfort stops each day, some of these coinciding with orchid stops. Orchids listed for each site are the ones that we are most likely to see but are not guaranteed with species/numbers seen dependent on seasonal influences in 2017.

Due to the growth of the Society over the past twelve months, the quantity of plants received for sale on the trading table has in- creased dramatically. It has now reached the point where the number of plants brought in each month for sale has become unmanageable. Many of the plants are not sold and have to be returned to the owner sometimes in a damaged condition due to the rough handling received in the melee at the table.

This paper examines the listing process for threatened Australia has about 1700 species of orchids, com- orchids in Australia, compares regional and national prising about 1300 named species in about 190 gen- lists of threatened orchids, and provides recommen- era, plus at least 400 undescribed species (Jones dations for improving the process of listing regionally 2006, pers. comm.). About 1400 species (82%) are and nationally threatened orchids. geophytes, almost all deciduous, seasonal species, while 300 species (18%) are evergreen epiphytes Methods and/or lithophytes. At least 95% of this orchid flora is endemic to Australia.

    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.

  • Australian Orchidaceae: Genera and Species (12/1/2004)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (21/1/2008) by Mark A. Clements Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name. Synonyms are also cross-referenced under genus.
