Joseph Henry Maiden The Forest Flora of New South Wales Part LXI Sydney William Applegate Gullick, Government Printer 1913 Published by the Forest Department of New South Wales, under authority of the Honourable the Secretary for Lands. No. 185: Hakea Ivoryi Bailey. Ivory's Hakea. (Family PROTEACEÆ.) Botanical description. — Genus, Hakea. (See Part XLVI, p. 105) Botanical description. — Species, H. Ivoryi Bailey in the Queensland Flora, p. 1346, with a Plate. A tree attaining a height of 30 to 40 feet, with a thick corky bark, branchlets often dark and more or less clothed with short appressed hairs. Leaves terete, pungent pointed, smooth, very slender, usually under 6 inches long, simple or once or twice forked, often crowded on the branchlets. Inflorescence silky-hairy, in simple racemes or paniculate with irregular raceme-like branches, some 3 inches long, dense, peduncles short, on which the hairs sometimes form strigose tufts. Pedicels hairy, 3 lines long. Perianth-tube hairy outside, 3 lines long greenish-white (perhaps when fresh yellowish- white), slightly enlarging towards the pedicel, revolute under the globular limb. Gland purple prominent, narrow horseshoe-shaped. Ovary stipitate, glabrous or slightly hoary. Style glabrous; stigmatic disk conical in the centre. Fruit nearly straight, 1 1/4 inch long, 1/2 inch broad, shortly tapering to the stipes and from above the middle upwards; dorsal protuberances small. Seed-wing not decurrent along the nucleus. (Op. cit.) Contrasted with allied species it has terete, smooth, pungent-pointed leaves, usually under 6 inches long, and once or twice forked. Flowers racemose, or in racemose-panicles. The perianth-tube is hairy outside. Botanical Name. — Hakea, already explained (see Part XLVI, P. 106); Ivoryi, in honour of William Alexander Laurie Ivory, who collected it and sent it to the describer. Vernacular Name. — A "Cork-wood," because of its thick corky bark. It could be called "Ivory's Hakea," of course, but if any man were to adopt that vernacular, a reasonable question would be to ask him what objection he has Hakea Ivoryi. Timber. — Mr. R.J. Dalton, of Wanaaring, N.S.W., informed me some years ago, "The best timber for bullock-yokes, and is far superior to the Oak (Casuarina) which comes from inside districts; no use for anything else." If it be the "best" timber for a specific use like bullock-yokes, it must be a timber of some merit, and it is wellworthy of further inquiry. Size. — A medium-sized tree, but it is little known in New South Wales. Habitat. — Confined to the drier parts of Queensland and New South Wales, so far as we know at present. We want very much more information as to its distribution. The Queensland localities quoted by Mr. F. M. Bailey are both in the Cunnamulla district, and are:— Bingara, a little west of Eulo, which is still further west of Cunnamulla (J. F. Bailey); and Charlotte Plains, a few miles north-east of Cunnamulla (W. A. L. Ivory). It has since been found in New South Wales, viz.:— Tuncoona, near Bourke (R. Ridge, recorded by Mr R. T. Baker, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. xxxi, 716). Wanaaring on the Paroo River (R. J. Dalton). EXPLANATION OF PLATE 190. Plate 190: A Hakea. (Hakea Ivoryi, Bailey.) Lithograph by Margaret Flockton. A.

Half of capsule, with (a) seed, and (b) persistent horse-shoe shaped gland. (See Ea.) No. 186: Eucalyptus gigantea Hook. f. A Mountain Ash or Gum-topped Stringybark. (Family MYRTACEÆ.) Botanical description. — Genus, Eucalyptus. (See PartII, p.33.) Botanical description. — Species, E. gigantea Hook. f. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vi, 479 (1847). This is a species which has been the cause of much synonymy and uncertainty, because it was confused (and most pardonably so) by its original describer and subsequent botanists with E. obliqua L'Hérit. — a species whose identity had not been made clear at the time. The original description may be translated as follows:— Branches and Branchlets smooth, elongated, slender. Leaves alternate, petiolate, ovate-lanceolate, obliquely curved and acuminate, very unequal at the base, and with a distinct midrib and spreading lateral veins. Pedicels many-flowered, elongated. Buds linear-clavate, obtuse. Calyx-tube pedicellate, obconical when in flower, with a short hemispherical, obtuse or nearly acute operculum, as broad as the calyx-tube. Fruits rather large, pedicellate, from obconical-hemispherical to turbinate, somewhat contracted at the mouth or nearly globular and hardly contracted. "Stringybark" of the colonists. Tall tree 150 to 250 feet high and about 20 to 26 feet in diameter at the base. Branches and branchlets slender, elongated. Leaves 4 to 6 inches long and 1 to 1 1/2 inches broad. Bud narrow, elongated, twice or thrice longer than the cup. Hooker afterwards redescribed his species in the following words:— (The first paragraph following is a translation of the Latin.) A gigantic tree with slender pendulous branches and large slender petiolate leaves, ovate lanceolate at the base and gradually acuminate, opaque, much unequal at the base, and with a distinct midrib and spreading veins, with elongated many-flowered pedicels (peduncles) with nearly clavate pedicellate calyces, with a short, hemispherical, obtuse, or rather acute operculum, with a pedicellate rather large capsule, turbinate, obconical, hemispherical or subglobose, woody, somewhat contracted at the mouth, flat or abruptly depressed inside, with included valves. (Gunn, 1095, 1104, 1106, 1965, 1966.) (Tab. XXVIII.) This forms a gigantic tree, specimens having been felled in the valleys at the base of Mount Wellington, 300 feet high and 100 feet in girth, of which a full account is given in the "Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania." It is also a most abundant species, and forms the bulk of the forests of the elevated tableland of the interior and flanks of the southern mountains. It is difficult so to define its characters that it shall be recognised by them, but it is a well-known and readily distinguished species in the forest. At all periods of growth it has a tall, straight trunk, and few terminal branches, never very leafy or umbrageous. In some varieties the young branches have a fine glaucous-purple bloom on them, especially in alpine localities; such is the case with Mr. Gunn's No. 1095, from the banks of Lake St. Clair, where it forms a forest on one side of the lake only, to the exclusion of all other timber. Bark flaking off in stringy masses, used formerly by the natives for huts, canoes, etc. Branchlets slender, pendulous. Leaves broader than in most other species of this section, 4–7 inches long, ovate at the broad oblique base, then lanceolate and tapering to an acuminate point, surface not polished; nerves diverging. Peduncles, flower and fruit so variable, that it is difficult to characterise them; usually the peduncles are stout, woody, as long as the petioles; the flowers very numerous, and forming a capitate head; the pedicels stout; calyx turbinate; operculum hemispherical. Capsule woody, gradually or suddenly contracted at the pedicel, spherical or oblong, obconic, with a contracted, not thickened, mouth, and sunk valves. — As in the other species, I have found very great differences in the flowers and fruits from upper and lower, older and younger, slender and stout branches. Flora of Tasinania, vol. I, p. 136. The plate (XXVIII) accompanying this description, and which has been reproduced in its essential details in Plate 191 of the present work, is, in the light of later knowledge, quite clear. As has already been said, Hooker mixed two closely allied trees, and it is better to disentangle the confusion, making it clear what refers to E. obliqua, what to E. gigantea, than to perpetuate the confusion by permitting botanists to continue to assume that one is a synonym of the other, and to ignore Fitch's beautiful plate in Hooker's work. Neither Hooker's original description nor his amended one in Flora Tasmaniæ applies exclusively to E. obliqua or E. gigantea. There is more to go upon in the Flora Tasmaniae First, we have Gunn's specimens Nos. 1095, 1104, 1106, 1965, 1966, which are as follow:— 1095 is E. obliqua. Some of the material under this number may be E. gigantea. 1104 is E. obliqua. 1104 (second specimen) is E.

    Local Native Plant Species for Superb Fairy-Wren Habitat

    Suggested local native plant species for Superb Fairy-wren habitat Extract from the report, Superb Fairy-Wren Habitat in Glebe and Forest Lodge, S. Stevens, The Glebe Society, Sydney, 2008. The plants listed are thought to have been indigenous to inner-western Sydney prior to white settlement. Emphasis in this list is on plants that should be fairly easily obtainable, but a few that may be difficult to obtain at present, such as Epacrids and some Peas, and plants such as Epacrids have traditionally been difficult to propagate, have been included to indicate the variety of plants that are suitable for Superb Fairy-wren habitat, and with a view that these plant species may be available in the future. Indeed, highlighting them as suitable small bird habitat may influence some nurseries to add them to their stocklists.

  • 'Soils' and 'Vegetation'?

    'Soils' and 'Vegetation'?

    Is there a close association between ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’? A case study from central western New South Wales M.O. Rankin1, 3, W.S Semple2, B.W. Murphy1 and T.B. Koen1 1 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 445, Cowra, NSW 2794, AUSTRALIA 2 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 53, Orange, NSW 2800, AUSTRALIA 3 Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The assumption that ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’ are closely associated was tested by describing soils and vegetation along a Travelling Stock Reserve west of Grenfell, New South Wales (lat 33° 55’S, long 147° 45’E). The transect was selected on the basis of (a) minimising the effects of non-soil factors (human interference, climate and relief) on vegetation and (b) the presence of various soil and vegetation types as indicated by previous mapping. ‘Soils’ were considered at three levels: soil landscapes (a broad mapping unit widely used in central western NSW), soil types (according to a range of classifications) and soil properties (depth, pH, etc.). ‘Vegetation’ was considered in three ways: vegetation type (in various classifications), density/floristic indices (density of woody species, abundance of native species, etc.) and presence/absence of individual species. Sites along the transect were grouped according to soil landscapes or soil types and compared to vegetation types or indices recorded at the sites. Various measures indicated low associations between vegetation types and soil landscapes or soil types. Except for infrequent occurrences of a soil type or landscape, any one soil type or landscape was commonly associated with a number of vegetation types and any one vegetation type was associated with a number of soil landscapes or soil types.

    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.
