They provided an identification key to species and detailed descriptions. They also performed a phylogenetic analysis of all species, suggesting that O. hirta and O. plicicollis are sister species and most similar morphologically.

  • Lesson 2 Culture of Native Plants
    LESSON 2 CULTURE OF NATIVE PLANTS Aim Determine cultural practices to maintain healthy native plants. Australian Natives are generally easily cultivated under a wide variety of conditions within the garden. Species natural to any given area with usually perform better then those introduced from other areas. The climate, soil, aspect and the characteristics of the plant should all be given consideration before choosing appropriate species. Once you have learnt to develop a good plan and also understand the growing conditions required, a native garden will provide you with years of beauty and pleasure Galls on Acacias are often caused by wasps Treatment –remove and destroy damaged tissues. CULTIVATION OF AUSTRALIAN PLANTS There are three main things which affect the way a plant grows. They are environmental factors such as temperature, light or moisture; nutrition (ie. the supply of food to the plant and the influence of pest and diseases on the plant's health. You should strive to gain a broad appreciation of these three factors. With such an understanding comes the ability to make your own decisions about how to grow a particular plant in a particular place. Environmental factors Consider where the plant grows naturally. This may give you some idea of its requirements (eg. Banskias tend to occur in well drained soils, indicating that they need good drainage; plants which grow above the snowline will probably tolerate very cold conditions, etc.). A plant which is grown outside of its natural environment can often still be grown successfully, but you may find that it will grow differently (eg.

  • A Guide to Some of the Shrubs Currently
    305 Syringa vulgaris (lilac) The name suggested needs to be checked as it is quite likely this is a hybrid or cultivar at the very least, but S. vulgaris at least in part is likely. It is a deciduous shrub that has gone in and out of fashion over the years. It is deciduous and has spectacular flowering from mid spring for about a month and then blends back into the shrubbery. This example is in the Betula Border, about midway and can be seen at its best around early October. There are now no other lilacs on campus. I suspect this one was planted early on, possibly in the late 1950’s or early 1960’s. A large spreading shrub of around 4metres in height and spread. Both of the above photos were taken on 15th October 2008. 306 Telopea oreades This is an evergreen shrub at the south western end of the pond at the Amenity Area. It has been relatively slow growing in this site, planted during the 1990’s and is currently about 3m in height. To the best of my knowledge, this plant has not flowered yet. It appears perfectly hardy in the relatively open site it occupies. An upright growing evergreen shrub native to south east Australia Leaves are simple, alternately arranged, oblanceolate, petiolate, mostly entire. 307 Teucrium chamaedrys (wall germander) There are two places on campus where these low growing sub-shrubs are growing. One is on the east side of the Wine Lab. near the north west corner of the Horticultural Teaching lab., the other is opposite the south west side of the southern entrance to the Commerce Building near Farm Road at the base of a sycamore tree.

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.
