Chemical Element Concentrations of Cycad Leaves: Do We Know Enough?

We found 46 of the 358 described cycad species had at least one element reported to date. The only genus that was missing from the data was Microcycas. Many of the species reports contained concentrations of one to several macronutrients and no other elements. The cycad leaves contained greater nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations than the reported means for plants throughout the world. Magnesium was identified as the macronutrient that has been least studied. -
Lepidozamia Peroffskyana
LLeeppiiddoozzaammiiaa ppeerrooffffsskkyyaannaa -- AA ccyyccaadd ffrroomm tthhee ttrrooppiiccaall eeaasstt ccooaasstt ooff AAuussttrraalliiaa What looks like a palm, grows in tropical rainforests along the coast of northern New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland, but isn’t a palm? Lepidozamia peroffskyana – a cycad, of course! Cycads are an, ancient group of plants, first recorded from the Permian, 280 million years ago. Palms, in contrast, are relatively recent arrivals, from the Cretaceous ~ 83 – 76 million years ago1. Cycads, which produce cones, are more closely related to conifers (pines, cedars, cypress) than they are to palms. Their growth habit has changed little since the Jurassic when they were abundant and widespread, so extant species still look like their fossil ancestors. Lepidozamia belongs to the family Zamiaceae, which evolved in the mid- Triassic; distribution of fossils includes genera in North and South America, L. hopei Europe, Australia and Antarctica, indicating that this family of cycads evolved prior to the breakup of Pangea1. L. peroffskyana There are two species of Lepidozamia, both of which occur in Australia. Lepidozamia peroffskyana in NE NSW, and L. hopei in far N. Queensland2. Nostoc is a cyanobacterium (blue-green alga) which has been recorded in all genera of extant (living, modern day) cycads and has the potential to fix atmospheric nitrogen. In addition to normal roots that grow downwards, cycads, including Lepidozamia species, have roots that grow upwards, towards the soil surface; these are known as ‘apogeotropic’ roots. If apogeotropic roots are colonised by the cyanobacterium Nostoc, they are then known as ‘coralloid’ roots because of their uncanny resemblance to coral. -

Here's a taste of what they shared with us. Words compiled by Liz Cameron and Jan Douglas Photos were provided by the members who spoke. Boyd Webster – An encounter with Eucryphia lucida (Tasmanian Leatherwood) Boyd was on an ANPSA post-conference tour in January when he visited Nelson Falls in the Wild Rivers National Park and found Tasmanian Leatherwood (Eucryphia lucida, family Eucryphiaceae) flowering in abundance. He captured their beauty in his photos – petals strewn across the forest floor, white flowers with delicate anthers fading from red to grey, long narrow green leaves and lichen-covered trunks. -

Waterloo Urban and Industrial Expansion Flora and Fauna Survey
Shire of Dardanup Waterloo Urban and Industrial Expansion Flora and Fauna Survey March 2015 Executive summary This report is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, the limitations set out in Section 1.4 and the assumptions and qualifications contained throughout the Report. The Greater Bunbury Strategy and Structure Plan identified a potential significant urban expansion area located to the east of the Eaton locality and an industrial expansion area in Waterloo, in the Shire of Dardanup. The Shire of Dardanup (the Shire) and the Department of Planning have commenced preparation of District Structure Plans (DSP) for the urban expansion area and the industrial expansion area. The DSP will be informed by several technical studies including flora and fauna surveys. The Shire has commissioned GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) to undertake a flora and fauna survey and reporting for the Project. The Project Area is situated in the locality of Waterloo in the Shire of Dardanup. The Project Area includes the urban development area to the north of the South- west Highway (SWH) and the industrial development area to the south of the SWH. GHD undertook a desktop assessment of the Project Area and a flora and fauna field assessment with the first phase conducted from 13 to 14 August, 2014 and the second phase conducted from 29 to 31 October 2014. The purpose of this assessment was to identify the parts of the Project Area that have high, moderate and low ecological values so that the Shire can develop the DSP in consideration of these ecological values. This assessment identified the biological features of the Project Area and the key results are as follows. -

Revisión Taxonómica Y Morfológica Y Distribución Geográfica De Zamia
1 ARTÍCULO 1: Revisión taxonómica y morfológica y distribución geográfica de Zamia (Zamiaceae) en Costa Rica 2 Revisión taxonómica y morfológica y distribución geográfica de Zamia (Zamiaceae) en Costa Rica Rafael Acuña Castillo Escuela de Biología, Universidad de Costa Rica. [email protected] Abstract: Zamia is the third largest genus of Cycadales and the only one with native representatives in Costa Rica. All Costa Rican species inhabit rainforest undergrowth in low and mid elevation forests (up to 1100 m on the Caribbean slope and to 1600 m on the Pacific slope). Even though there have been recent revisions of the genus in other Neotropical countries, an appropriate taxonomic treatment for Costa Rican species was lacking, until Merello (2004) wrote one for the Manual de Plantas de Costa Rica. However the reality in the field and the herbaria is more complex than the one depicted by her. The main goal of this revision is to correct and update the information regarding the taxonomy of Zamia in Costa Rica. Living plants were observed in their natural habitats at 12 locations in Costa Rica. In addition, all preserved specimens from the three main herbaria of Costa Rica were examined. Vegetative characteristics such as stem color and size, leaf length, rachis length, petiole length, leaflet width and length, leaflet insertion angle, number of sporophyll rows per cone, color, length and width of the mature cone and peduncle were registered and measured. From these qualitative and quantitative data the author recognizes five species of Zamia previously recorded from Costa Rica as well as a species that is still undescribed. -
