  • Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 2. Bremer Range
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 81:107-117, 1998 Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 2. Bremer Range N Gibson & M N Lyons Science and Information Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51 Wanneroo WA 6065 email: [email protected]; [email protected] Manuscript received March 1997; accepted November 1997 Abstract A study of the flora and plant communities of the Bremer Range greenstone belt in the spring of 1994 recorded 267 taxa. Only eight weed species were recorded but this number is likely to increase if further work is carried out in a better season. The flora list included one species gazetted as rare and new populations of five rare or poorly known taxa. Three species appear to be endemic to the Bremer Range greenstone belt, one of which was collected for the first time. Six community types were defined from 64 sites spread across the range. The distribution of these community types appears to be primarily controlled by edaphic factors including soil water holding capacity. The floristic classification is in broad agreement with previous work but shows finer-scale patterning. None of the floristic communities or the endemic taxa are presently reserved. There has been significant impact on the vegetation of this range by mining and mineral exploration. Introduction time (possibly Cretaceous) of higher rainfall. Widespread laterization of the granites and greenstones is believed to The geology of ranges of the Goldfields region of have occurred during the Tertiary i.e. the last 65 My Western Australia has been subject to extensive and (Newbey 1988).

Introduction Commonly known as poverty bushes, emu bushes and native fuchsias, Eremophila R.Br. species are among the best known members of the tribe Myoporeae Rchb. (formerly the family Myoporaceae), a group of plants largely confined to Australia and the South Pacific islands but also found in South Africa, Asia, Hawaii and the West Indies.

This is because you never know exactly what will emerge from the randomness of events that lead to the meeting. Fortunately the lead up to the 2016 Annual Conference of the Australasian Systematic Botany Society had by and large positive things occur, particularly the remarkable weather providing amazing botanical jewels to see throughout the region where we are meeting. We have attracted a diverse and exciting group of conference participants from across Australia, New Zealand and the world! The program we have put together is interesting and includes the latest in systematics and taxonomy, sharing of regional knowledge from central and northern Australia and exploration of trans-Tasman research and collections.
