  • Australian Flor Foundation Final Report S Acanthos
    AUSTRALIAN FLORA FOUNDATION- Final Report Establishment of an ex-situ collection and seed orchard for the endangered Grampians Globe-pea. N. Reiter1, 2 1Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Corner of Ballarto Road and Botanic Drive, Cranbourne, VIC 3977, Australia 2Ecology and Evolution, Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Project Duration: Dec 2014-Feb-2018 Total Grant Requested: $14,500 Introduction The Grampians Globe-pea Sphaerolobium acanthos (Crisp, 1994) is endemic to the Grampians National Park in the state of Victoria, Australia. It was known from three small populations within the park and the global population was believed to be 26 plants. Past herbarium records indicate that this species was once more widespread through the Park (SAC, 2014). Recent searches of previous localities suggest that the species no longer occurs at these sites. Sphaerolobium acanthos was shown to be susceptible to P. cinnamomi, which occurs near three of the populations (Reiter et al. 2004), and is predicted to be at moderate risk to extinction due to P. cinnamomi. The plant has been listed under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 and in 2016 was listed as federally endangered under the Environment Protection Biodiversity and Conservation Act 1999. This species has recently been assessed as critically endangered under the IUCN criteria (David Cameron pers.com). Without the establishment of an ex-situ population, propagation, and conservation translocation S. acanthos is likely to become extinct in our lifetime. Ex-situ conservation methods for Fabaceae, using both seed germination techniques (Roche et al, 1997; Loyd et al, 2000 and Offord and Meagher, 2009), and micro propagation in Fabaceae and physiologically similar species (Rout, 2005; Cenkci et al, 2008; Toth et al, 2004 and Anthony et al, 2000), offer a sound basis for exploring methods for the ex-situ conservation of Sphaerolobium acanthos.

There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.

  • Silky Swainson-Pea
    NSW SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Swainsona sericea (A.T. Lee) J.M. Black ex H. Eichler (Fabaceae-Faboideae) Review of Current Information in NSW June 2008 Current status: Swainsona sericea (Silky Swainson-pea) is currently listed as Threatened in Victoria under the Flora & Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 (FFG Act) and Endangered in South Australia under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 (NPW Act), but is not listed under Commonwealth legislation. The NSW Scientific Committee recently determined that Swainsona sericea meets criteria for listing as Vulnerable in NSW under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act), based on information contained in this report and other information available for the species. Species description: Thompson and James (2002, p. 604) describe Swainsona sericea as follows: “Prostrate or low- growing perennial to about 10 cm high; stems densely pubescent with medifixed hairs, hairs appressed or with both ends raised. Leaves mostly 2-7 cm long; leaflets 5-13, narrow-elliptic, lateral leaflets mostly 5-15 mm long, 1-3 mm wide; terminal leaflets distinctly longer than laterals, apex acute, both surfaces ± pubescent; stipules 3-7 mm long. Racemes mostly 2-8- flowered; flowers 7-11 mm long. Calyx pubescent often with dark hairs, teeth ± equal to the tube. Corolla purple; keel apex obtuse with swellings behind tip, slightly twisted. Style tip geniculate. Pod obovate, usually 10-17 mm long, pubescent; style 6-7 mm long; stipe minute.” Taxonomy: Swainsona sericea was originally described as Swainsona oroboides F. Muell. ex Benth. subsp. sericea A.T. Lee (Eichler 1965). The taxon is now recognised as a true species in all the taxonomic literature.

  • Intense Uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
    Plant Ecology & Diversity Vol. 5, No. 4, December 2012, 491–499 Intense uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau triggered rapid diversification of Phyllolobium (Leguminosae) in the Late Cenozoic Ming-Li Zhanga,b*, Yun Kangc , Yang Zhongd and Stewart C. Sandersone aKey Laboratory of Biogeography and Bioresource in Arid Land, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi, China; bInstitute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China; cSchool of Pharmacy, Fudan University, Shanghai, China; dSchool of Life Science, Fudan University, Shanghai, China; eShrub Sciences Laboratory, Intermountain Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Utah, USA (Received 19 August 2011; final version received 4 September 2012) Background: Phyllolobium, a recently established genus from subgenus Pogonophace of Astragalus, contains about 20 species and four sections, mostly endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). The uplift of the QTP undoubtedly affected organismic evolution in the region, but further molecular dating in a phylogenetic context is required to test whether diversification is linked in particular to the intense uplift 3.6 million years ago (Ma). Aims: Based on molecular dating of Phyllolobium, we attempted to identify a relationship between diversification and speci- ation of Phyllolobium and the geological event of this intense uplift. Methods: Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence data of Phyllolobium were used for the study. Outgroup genera selected were Astragalus, Oxytropis, Caragana, Calophaca, Hamilodendron, Hedysarum, Sphaerophysa, Swainsona and Colutea, as well as Dalbergia and Pueraria. Both of the latter genera have fossil records, enabling their use in constraint calibrations for dating. Phylogenetic analysis employed maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference, and phylogenetic datings were con- ducted by using three approaches implemented in the programs r8s, PAML and BEAST.
