Greenleigh In that time we have accomplished a lot, we've grown from initial group of about 20 to over 150, the species/hybrids/selections in cultivation from 5 to probably nearly N.S.W. 300 and without our probing and questioning Bob's Chinnock's revision may well have never eventuated. Everything else has flowed from there, including the vari- ous books which use Bob's work as a starting point. There is much other research involving the genus Eremophila happening around the country, most of it well beyond our levels of understanding or comprehension, but we can feel justifiably proud to be asked to assist in some of this research Editors IThis is the final interim Newsletter which Bev and I will be compiling.

A bush nearby blew out, under it was a small lant, the only self sown eremophila that I have seen regenerated at Pangarinda Arboretum, it is quite a large k' ush now. At Pan arinda Arboretum E. lonnii grows to a beautiful big bush, flowers well for a few years and then dies off, shoots7 eaves along some of the old wood, never seems to recover, have even had a new shoot come up a little way away, it also doesn't do well. A couple of pink flowered forms are really looking good at present only a couple of years old. [Februory2015J DO other members hove this problem? Summer has been harsh on some of the young plants when they haven't been watered, would have been worse if we had not received good rains in November. Lost a few of the older plants also mainly Hakeas from higher rainfall areas. Editors: Pongorinda Arboretum is well worth o visrt especrolly In Sprfng time [The sod at the Arboretum is 2ondy to sandy loom, ondlc soil, other genus growing there ore well worth seefng in bloom.] FF&OI;i*', . I ,. _..i.. , . ,\ ',,.. From Philip Robinson Mornington, Victoria Eremophilas - My Friends When we retired from running a bookshop after nearly 30 years, a long time customer presented us with a small grey bush with purple tubular flowers."What's that?" I asked . It turned out, of course to be Eremophila nivea, and thus an addiction to Australian native plants began. Now 20 orso years later, the 2/3 acre garden is ninety percent native. Gone is the grass, gone the dam, and gone the vegies [not that we ever had many] and what we now have amongst many other natives is a score or so of Eremophilas. In those far off years I had devised a system of labelling which almost immediately failed spectacularly,~~though I am reasonably confident about the names of about half of them, my very good intention of seriously workingthrough Bob Chinnock's magnum opus [and what a great book it is], somehow remains just that and I still have at least a dozen unknowns. I keep hoping that something will happen to bring Graham & Maree Goods, whom we think of as friends, at least very good ac uaintances, to the Mornington Peninsula again after many years, so that we can pick Maree's brains ana fix up those elusive species with the smart new labels which we now use and which are mostly correctly placed, though there are a few mistaken identities. I can't rememberjust what brought us to Graham & Maree's garden 20 years ago, but I do remember roming away with a gift of pots and a huge heap of cuttines. manv of which rooted successfullv, though I had, of course failed to list the names correctly. ~oweve;~aree's gift formed the nucleus of our n re hop hi la collection. What Eremophila do for our garden is to bring us birds. Eremophilo maculoto with its purple blossoms, never seems to stop flowering. It is savaged by the red wattle birds our alpha bird, who do not welcome competi- tion. However when their beady eyes are momentarily averted, the Eastern spinebills lip out of cover and consume their share of nectar. Three otherthings about Eremophilas that endearthem to me, is firstly that there always seems to be one ortwo in flower all year round bringing splashes of colour, secondly that many species propagate easily from cuttings, and lastly that in our garden at least, they are as tough as old boots and cheerfully survive vigorous pruning, drought and systemic neglect. Thank you Eremophilas. 3.

Doley, (2011) Eremophila koobabbiensis (Scrophulariaceae), a new rare species 157 Eremophila koobabbiensis (Scrophulariaceae), a new, rare species from the wheatbelt of Western Australia Robert J.Chinnock1 and Alison B. Doley2 1State Herbarium of South Australia, Hackney Road, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 2‘Koobabbie’, Waddy Forest, Western Australia 6515 Email: [email protected] Abstract Chinnock, R.J. & Doley, A.B. Eremophila koobabbiensis (Scrophulariaceae), a new, rare species from the wheatbelt of Western Australia. Nuytsia 21(4): 157–162 (2011). Eremophila koobabbiensis Chinnock, sp.nov., is described and illustrated. This rare species is known only from one area north of Moora and its conservation is discussed. It is also established in cultivation and its long-term survival is assured. Introduction When the monograph of Eremophila and allied genera was published (Chinnock 2007) one of the authors of this paper (RJC) was aware of a number of undescribed species in Western Australia that had been seen in the field or had been isolated from existing herbarium collections but were either inadequate for the preparation of accounts for publication, or were discovered too late to be included in the monograph. Andrew Brown (Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Australia) also drew attention to other new species of which he was aware. Since the publication of the monograph, two new taxa, E. grandiflora A.P.Br. & B.Buirchell and E. densifolia F.Muell. subsp. erecta A.P.Br. & B.Buirchell have been published (Brown & Buirchell 2007). In this paper a new and rare species is described and illustrated.

Hunter1 & Vanessa H. Hunter2 1School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351 AUSTRALIA; email: [email protected] 2Hewlett Hunter Pty Ltd, Armidale, NSW 2350 AUSTRALIA. Abstract: Naree and Yantabulla stations (31,990 ha) are found 60 km south-east of Hungerford and 112 km north-west of Bourke, New South Wales (lat. 29° 55'S; long. 150°37'N). The properties occur on the Cuttaburra Creek within the Mulga Lands Bioregion. We describe the vegetation assemblages found on these properties within three hierarchical levels (Group, Alliance & Association). Vegetation levels are defined based on flexible UPGMA analysis of cover- abundance scores of all vascular plant taxa. These vegetation units are mapped based on extensive ground truthing, SPOT5 imagery interpretation and substrate. Three ‘Group’ level vegetation types are described: Mulga Complex, Shrublands Complex and Floodplain Wetlands Complex. Within these Groups nine ‘Alliances’ are described: Rat’s tail Couch – Lovegrass Grasslands, Canegrass Grasslands, Lignum – Glinus Shrublands, Coolibah – Black Box Woodlands, Turpentine – Button Grass – Windmill Grass Shrublands, Turpentine – Hop Bush – Kerosene Grass shrublands and Mulga Shrublands.

All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales.

Westbrooke, Centre for Environmental Management, University of Ballarat Nanya Station, owned and managed by the University of Ballarat was purchased with assistance from the Department of Environment and Heritage. Ongoing management is supported by the Lower Murray Darling Catchment Management Authority FOREWORD 1 FOREWORD This booklet has been prepared as an introduction for visitors to Nanya. Nanya is managed for conservation, research and teaching and affords protection to highly significant environments including two endangered communities and seventeen endangered or vulnerable species. On your visit, please respect these values. NANYA STATION Nanya Station is located in the Scotia country of far western New South Wales and consists of the Nanya Western Lands Pastoral Lease 3281 – Perpetual Leasehold Lot 1244 in Deposited Plan 762778, Parish of Winnebaga, County of Tara. Nanya Homestead complex 2 BACKGROUND The Scotia region has one of the shortest stock grazing histories of western NSW. Along with five other properties, Nanya was created as a pastoral lease in 1927. Previously the area was part of the large Lake Victoria lease and stock grazing occurred only in wet years (Withers 1989). The original lease was taken up by Gordon Cummings in 1927. He first dug a dam near the southeast corner of the property. A larger ground tank and homestead at the site of the present complex was later established. An area around the homestead was cleared and cropped to provide feed for the horses used in digging the earth tanks. The ruins of the original building are located between the shearing shed and Homestead Tank.

  • The Effects of Shrub Removal and Grazing on Vegetation and Soils in a Shrub-Encroached Australian Woodland
    The effects of shrub removal and grazing on vegetation and soils in a shrub-encroached Australian woodland Stefani Daryanto A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science February 2013 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Daryanto First name: Stefani Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Faculty: Science Sciences Title: The effects of shrub removal and grazing on vegetation and soils in a shrub-encroached Australian woodland Abstract 350 words maximum: Plant communities and soil properties in many dryland ecosystems have changed dramatically over the past century due to the proliferation of woody plants, caused largely by the introduction of livestock grazing, changes to natural fire regimes, and climate. Areas heavily encroached by shrubs are generally regarded as degraded, and this view is largely based on the fact that shrubs reduce pastoral productivity. There have been many attempts to remove shrubs in pastoral systems using chemical, biological and mechanical techniques to improve pastoral production. It remains unclear, however, whether shrubs per se or the interactions between grazing and climate are responsible for the putative reductions in pastoral productivity in shrub−encroached areas. This thesis examines the long−term ecological effects of mechanical shrub removal by blade−ploughing, with and without grazing, on vegetation and soils in shrub−encroached woodlands in eastern Australia. The results show that the combination of ploughing and grazing creates dramatic effects on soils and vegetation in this dryland system.
