Note that the list of genera is not exhaustive and the absence of a genus from a particular island group simply means that no reference was found to its occurrence in rainforest habitat in the references used (i.e. the genus may still be present in rainforest or may occur in that locality in other habitats). As the definition of rainforest can vary considerably among localities, for the purpose of this paper we considered rainforests to be terrestrial forest communities, composed largely of evergreen species, with a tree canopy that is closed for either the entire year or during the wet season. -

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This review of the environmental impacts of Myrtle Rust in Australia is accompanied by an adjunct document, Myrtle Rust in Australia – a draft Action Plan. The Action Plan was developed in 2018 in consultation with experts, stakeholders and the public. The intent of the draft Action Plan is to provide a guiding framework for a specifically environmental dimension to Australia’s response to Myrtle Rust – that is, the conservation of native biodiversity at risk. -

A Selected Bibliography of Pohutukawa and Rata (1788-1999)
[Type text] Preface Stephanie Smith, an experienced librarian and Rhodes Scholar with specialist skills in the development of bibliographies, was a wonderful partner for Project Crimson in the production of this comprehensive bibliography of pohutukawa and rata. Several years ago the Project Crimson Trust recognized the need to bring together the many and diverse references to these national icons for the benefit of researchers, conservationists, students, schools and the interested public. We never imagined the project would lead to such a work of scholarship, such a labour of love. Stephanie, like others who embrace the cause rather than the job, has invested time and intellect far beyond what was ever expected, and provided us with this outstanding resource. I urge all users to read the short introduction and gain some of the flavour of Stephanie’s enthusiasm. Project Crimson would also like to acknowledge the contribution of Forest Research library staff, in particular Megan Gee, for their help and support throughout the duration of this project. Gordon Hosking Trustee, Project Crimson February 2000 INTRODUCTION: THE LIVING LIBRARY [The] world around us is a repository of information which we have only begun to delve into. Like any library, once parts are missing, it is incomplete but, unlike a library, once our books (in this instance biological species) are lost they cannot be replaced. - Catherine Wilson and David Given, Threatened Plants of New Zealand. ...right at their feet they [Wellingtonians] have one of the most wide-ranging and fascinating living textbooks of botany in the country. Well - selected pages anyway. Many of the pages were ripped out by zealous colonisers, and there are now some big gaps. -

Some Observations on the Flora of New Caledonia* Mike Wilcox & Graeme Platt
which although clearly extremely well-known now in terms of its cultivation and conservation requirements still poses seemingly intractable problems for phylogeneticists, with a multi-authored presentation showing that its position within the family remains unclear despite sequencing several genes across the group in an effort to provide resolution: is it more closely related to Agathis, to Araucaria, or equally to the two of them? A panel discussion allowed a num- ber of other questions about Agathis and Wollemia to be considered and also served as a chance to mark the recent, premature, death of T. C. Whitmore, the first and so far the last monographer of Agathis. With that, the highly success- ful first international symposium on the Araucariaceae finished, and partici- pants began to disperse, some heading home and some remaining for the post- conference tour of New Caledonia. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I should like to thank the Council of the International Dendrology Society very much indeed for their financial support in helping me to travel to New Zealand for the field-tour and the conference: it would have been impossible for me to attend without their assistance. I also received additional funding from the UK’s Natural Environment Research Council under grant NER/S/A/2001/06066 and a travel award from Magdalen College, Oxford: I am extremely grateful to them all. I should also like to pay tribute to the organizers, Graeme Platt, Mike Wilcox and Clive Higgie, who despite their calm unflappability throughout the field tour and the conference must clearly have worked like slaves for months and years in advance for everything to have run so extraordinarily smoothly and to whom everybody who, like me, thoroughly enjoyed the entire week, owes a tremendous debt.
