Cleland Ecology, Environment and Diseases" in Cotton, B.C. (Ed.) 1966 ABORIGINAL MAN IN SOUTH AND CENTRAL AUSTRALIA 1:111-158 Government Printer, Adelaide Page 5 INTRODUCTION If I have seen further..., it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. - Sir Isaac Newton (late 17th Century) Purpose: This is a compilation of citations about edible Australian native plants. It is intended to be used for assisting with literature searches on uses of Australian plants. If there is sufficient interest, I may follow it up with lists of other uses of Australian plants. I originally commenced compiling this list to aid my own investigations, and started with a paper- based system. However, the difficulty of cross-referencing plant names made me develop a computer-based listing, which I then thought would be of interest to other Study Group members (& possibly even others). Limitations: I have attempted to be as thorough as possible, so have not excluded citations that appear to be erroneous. I would suggest that, in general, the older the reference, the more "suspect" is the accuracy of the botanical identification. If you eat a plant on this list and die, don't blame me ! This is a guide to assist literature searches only. No-one has checked it, and my typing is not all it could be. It will take a lot of feedback before all the (inevitable) errors are weeded out. In the meantime, use the list to find the original source about the edibility of a plant, and evaluate for yourself the likely accuracy of that information source. Synonyms: I admit that I probably have gone overboard in this respect, by listing synonyms that would be very unlikely to be encountered. However, it is very frustrating when you do a lot of research into an edible plant, only to find out that you have all the same material already, under a different name. Hence, I do not really apologise for my "overkill" - it serves a purpose (if only the State Herbaria kept up-to-date plant lists !). Note that I also have included cases of confusion of species and misidentification, which did not involve actual changes of the botanical names of plants. You will need to refer to the original sources to sort all of these out. Acknowledgements: As the quotation at the top of the page is meant to suggest, I would not have been able to compile this list without the Herculean efforts of other researchers. The Page 6 two major sources that inspired this effort were the Cribbs book, and the thesis of Wendy Beck. Many thanks to them, and the many other researchers consulted. Further Editions: As further information comes to light, I will publish updates to this listing. Major changes in plant naming can be expected as a result of the on-going publication of the Flora of Australia. Also, I will attempt to incorporate members' experiences into the listing. With this in mind, 1 have appended a "Data Collection Sheet" to this publication. Would anyone who has experienced eating plants not on the list (preferably without ill-effects) please return a copy of the "Data Collection Sheet" giving full details. Also, if you come across any literature about Australian plants being edible, that are not in the list, could you complete and return a copy of the sheet. This will probably be the only free copy issued. The reason it is free is that I'm hoping to be overwhelmed by contributions from Study Group members. Contributors to the next edition could reasonably expect a complimentary revised copy. Page 7 DEFINITION OF TERMS PLANTS The name of the plant (genus, species & authority). If the citation is for an entire genus (or family), the entry is written with the genus (or family) name followed by the letters "spp." SYNONYMS Has a value of "Y" if you are refered to another name. Where an entry occupies several lines, has the values "I", "2",etc. to indicate this. FAMILY Uses a 3 digit code of the National Herbarium, Melbourne. If not known, blank. PART The part of the plant that was eaten. Preferably use a separate entry for each different part eaten, but if the same references cite the same parts eaten, can have up to three parts eaten per entry. Valid codes are: A Algae B Bark F Fruit (i.e. fleshy covering of seed) G Green (leaf, shoot, stem, pith, bud) L fLower M guM or sap N Nectar 0 Other (miscellaneous) P Pollen R Root, tuber, rhizome, etc. (underground storage organ) S Seed U fungi part only eaten 3 not recorded/unknown Page 8 PREP How the edible part was prepared prior to eating. Acceptable codes are: B Boiled (i.e. cooked in water) C Complex D Drink (prepared as a beverage) M Multi-step (between simple & complex) R Roasted, baked or cooked (not necessarily in water) S Steamed - raw ? not recordedlunknown PLACE The natural distribution of the plant. The codes are: A found in all Australian states C Central Australia M found in all Mainland states N New South Wales Q Queensland S South Australia T Tasmania V Victoria W Western Australia Z Northern Territory PER The source of the reference to the edibility of the plant. Uses a 2 character code. The acceptable codes are: A1 Altman 1986 B1 Beck 1985 82 Brock 1988 83 Bodkin Page 9 C1 Cane et all979 C2 Crawford 1982 C3 Cribb & Cribb 1985 C4 Cribb & Cribb 1985 C5 Cherikoff & lsaacs 1989 El Elliot & Jones F1 Floyd 1989 GI Gott 1985 I1 lsaacs 1987 J1 Ed.

Page 10 PLANT LIST Some sort of quote to the effect that, it doesn't matter if the name is current or not, so long as it is readliy identified and referenced. - someone or other at Herbarium (3) With this in mind, I have decided to follow the names used by Elliot and Jones, unless there is a good reason not to do so. Please give me feedback on any errors, or questionable entries, and especially on any additions to the list that you can make - refer to the "Data Collection Sheets" at the end of this work.

    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. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • GDV Field Assessment.Pdf
    Miralga Groundwater Dependent Vegetation Assessment Atlas Iron Pty Ltd December 2019 Page 2 of 24 Introduction and Background Atlas Iron Pty Ltd (Atlas Iron) are currently exploring the feasibility of the Miralga Project and require the use and reactivation of several existing groundwater bores, ALB0006, ALB0009, ALB0066, ALB0067, ALB0010, ALB0008, ALB0038, ALB0039 and ALB0041, to continue proposed on-ground works at Miralga (Figure 1). Prior to abstracting groundwater, Atlas Iron have requested an assessment of Groundwater Dependent Vegetation within a stretch of Shaw River, Six Mile Creek, Sulphur Springs Creek and an unnamed creek, totalling approximately 30 kilometres (km) of riparian vegetation. The purpose of the assessment is to determine the true extent of GDVs, provide fine-scale mapping of GDV units and search for phreatophytic flora species that may be adversely impacted by groundwater abstraction. The key species for this assessment is Melaleuca argentea which is known to access groundwater at or close to the surface. Objective and Scope of Work The overarching objective of the Project was to refine the GDV mapping to fine-scale map the functional vegetation units in the identified areas (Figure 1). This objective was met via the following: • A desktop assessment to further understand vegetation unit VT05 and the key phreatophytic species previously documented as occurring within the vegetation unit. • A site visit to map the functional units along the Study Area. We investigated VT05 within the drawdown contour of 0.5 m and a further 1 km north and south along Shaw River and Sulphur Springs Creek. The only exceptions to this were: - The area that contains bore ALB0008.
