  • A Taxonomic Revision of Hymenophyllaceae
    BLUMEA 51: 221–280 Published on 27 July 2006 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651906X622210 A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF HYMENOPHYLLACEAE ATSUSHI EBIHARA1, 2, JEAN-YVES DUBUISSON3, KUNIO IWATSUKI4, SABINE HENNEQUIN3 & MOTOMI ITO1 SUMMARY A new classification of Hymenophyllaceae, consisting of nine genera (Hymenophyllum, Didymoglos- sum, Crepidomanes, Polyphlebium, Vandenboschia, Abrodictyum, Trichomanes, Cephalomanes and Callistopteris) is proposed. Every genus, subgenus and section chiefly corresponds to the mono- phyletic group elucidated in molecular phylogenetic analyses based on chloroplast sequences. Brief descriptions and keys to the higher taxa are given, and their representative members are enumerated, including some new combinations. Key words: filmy ferns, Hymenophyllaceae, Hymenophyllum, Trichomanes. INTRODUCTION The Hymenophyllaceae, or ‘filmy ferns’, is the largest basal family of leptosporangiate ferns and comprises around 600 species (Iwatsuki, 1990). Members are easily distin- guished by their usually single-cell-thick laminae, and the monophyly of the family has not been questioned. The intrafamilial classification of the family, on the other hand, is highly controversial – several fundamentally different classifications are used by indi- vidual researchers and/or areas. Traditionally, only two genera – Hymenophyllum with bivalved involucres and Trichomanes with tubular involucres – have been recognized in this family. This scheme was expanded by Morton (1968) who hierarchically placed many subgenera, sections and subsections under

  • Wednesday Walk — Monga Forest Drive — 28 February 2018
    Wednesday Walk — Monga Forest Drive — 28 February 2018 Monga National Park, Dasyurus and Waratah Roads and Penance Grove Circuit and Boardwalk Wednesday Walkers have been visiting Monga National Park for over 15 years since the establishment of the Park in 2001, as a result of the regional forests agreement. It still contains patches of old growth forest dominated by brown barrel, E. fastigata, messmate, E. obliqua, and manna gum, E. viminalis, as well as the ancient plumwood, Eucryphia moorei (Cunoniaceae, coachwoods), that is confined to wet gullies. Other parts of the park are regenerating from past logging that fed a timber mill at Monga. Access to the eastern part of the park on the escarpment is via the Corn Trail that is one of our favourite walks, because of its floriferous heathland understory. Further west a network of old logging trails dissect the park around the catchment of the Mongarlowe River. Our regular haunts here are the Dasyurus Road and picnic ground that leads to the Corn Trail Link across the river, the Waratah Road and Picnic Area, where a riverside track has been constructed to view the waratahs, and the Penance Grove loop track that provides a different access to the boardwalk through groves of massive tree ferns and a plumwood gully. Our first stop was the Dasyurus picnic ground for morning tea and a walk along the roadside. With each visit, the trees are getting taller and some must be getting to the 50m mark. I should borrow a clinometer to measure their true height. Three species dominate: messmate, E.

A REVISION OF THE GENUS TEMPLETONIA R.Br. (PAPILIONACEAE) by J. H. Ross* ABSTRACT The endemic Australian genus Templetonia is revised. Eleven species are recognized and the uncertainty concerning the application of the name T. sulcata (Meissn.) Benth. is discussed. This discussion includes the selection ol a lectotype for Bossiaea rossii F. Muell., a possible synonym. Descriptions, a key to the identification of species, illustrations, and distribution maps are provided, together with notes on ecology and relationships. Two previous papers describing T. incana (.Muelleria 4: 247-249 (1980)) and T. negketa (loc. cit. 390-393 (1981)) should be used in conjunction with the present revision. INTRODUCTION Templetonia, a small genus of 1 1 species described by R. Brown in Ait. f Hort. , Kew. ed. 2, 4: 269 (1812), was named in honour of the Irish botanist John Templeton (1776-1825) ot Orange Grove, Belfast.

  • Jervis Bay Territory Page 1 of 50 21-Jan-11 Species List for NRM Region (Blank), Jervis Bay Territory
    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.

  • NLE Leptospermum Forest: Coastal Facies
    Vegetation Condition Benchmarks version 2 Non-Eucalypt Forest and Woodland NLE Leptospermum forest: coastal facies Community Description: Leptospermum forest is dominated by one or more of Leptospermum lanigerum, L. scoparium, L. glaucescens or L. nitidum (5 – 10 m) with semi-closed or closed canopies. Mid and ground layers may be sparsely shrubby and sedgy, or the ground may be bare or covered by deep litter. The coastal facies of NLE has L. glaucescens and sometimes L. scoparium in the canopy and may be diverse and uneven in height where it has suffered patchy effects of fire or windthrow. A minor facies dominated by Leptospermum lanigerum and Acacia melanoxylon in coastal swamps is included. This benchmark is one of 2 benchmarks available to assess the condition of NLE.

  • 2017 ARHS Seed Exchange
    2017 ARHS Seed Exchange Sharon Bryson … Seed Exchange Chair Welcome to the 2017 Seed Exchange for the Atlantic Rhododendron & Horticultural Society. The electronic approach to the Seed Exchange seems to work very well. The seed list and order form will go out to all those with email addresses. A hard copy will be made available to those without email. Once again we will post the Seed List on the Internet which will have a full complement of links to many images and information to help in your decision-making. The online version will have periodic updates on seed lot availability. Visit The Willow Garden website and follow the links for 2017 ARHS Seed Exchange. A link to the list will be inserted on the Atlantic Rhodo site. We again wish to thank the faithful contributors who have made this possible. The overall success of our Seed Exchange depends upon seed contributions by our members, so please make a “mental note” to save some interesting seeds for next years’ Exchange. There is always an interest in the Companion Plant section as well as the Azalea and Rhododendron sections. Success also depends upon members purchasing seed. Many interesting plants can be added to our gardens by simply growing a few seeds. Plant enthusiasts outside of our regional society have again made valuable contributions to our annual exchange. Crosses from Y. Doi from Japan are especially noteworthy. Quantities of most are quite small, so order early if you are interested in these lots. Our 2017 list has several seed lots from the 2016 list.

This study investigated the effects of invasion and management of the woody shrub Lantana camara (lantana) in wet sclerophyll forest on the south-east coast of Australia. The effects of L. camara invasion and management on resident vegetation diversity and recruitment were determined as well as if invader management initiated community recovery. Vascular plant species richness, abundance and composition were surveyed and compared across L.
