  • 36200 Yellow Wood, Old Fustic Recipe for Dyeing with Fustic
    36200 Yellow Wood, Old Fustic C.I. Natural Yellow 11 synonym: dyer´s mulberry german: Gelbholz, Fustik, geschnitten french: fustik, bois jaune Old fustik, or yellow wood, is derived from the heartwood of dyer's mulberry, a large, tropical tree (Chlorophora tinctoria, or Maclura tinctoria) of the mulberry family, Moraceae. The trees grow in South and Middle America, and in the warmer regions of North America. They also grow in Western India and in the Antilles. The climate in South Europe is not tropical, but it is warm enough for the Mulberry tree. Dye makers have used its bright yellow heartwood to make an effective dye. Yellow wood extract is made by cooking the wood. This is reddish-yellow and after diluting orange-yellow. Three different kinds of extracts are available: liquid extract (pale yellow – reddish-yellow), solid extract (yellow-brown – olive colored) containing about 15% water which is sold as cake or with about 5 % water which is sold as granules. The dye produces yellows on wool mordanted (fixed) with alaun. Brighter colors are reached with tin. Acidified lead oxide gives orange-yellow hues, chromium and copper salts give olive-green hues. Iron gives dark olive-green and black hues. Although the colors are not very light fast, yellow wood used to be very important for the manufacture of khaki-colored textiles. However, all colors are very fast to soap and alkalies. Recipe for dyeing with Fustic according to Gill Dably Ingredients 25% Alum 6% Washing Soda 100% Fustic Mordanting Dissolve the alum and the washing soda in cold water.

Needless to say I was overjoyed to find Bob Jago unfolding his tea table for a pre walk cuppa. We were soon joined by Coralie Stuart and Anne Mohun. Anne and I had both come from a Treeforce planting event that morning, so we felt very intrepid to make the extra mission to a SGAP event all afternoon. In no time at all we four were huddled under a small interpretive shelter chatting, and playing "how many trees can Bob name while sitting down over smoko". The rain abated, and we were off. At the carpark I was interested in a striking prodigious orange fig with an attractive leaf and undulate leaf margin. Bob informed me this was the Ficus virgata, var. virgata . Trip trapping over the bridge, we saw the incredibly dainty Maesa haplobotrys , displaying fruit and flowers at all stages. Very attractive. The waters below were speckled with bright Syzygium luehmannii fruit. Up the hill, and water was playing across the path. Bob demonstrated the Rhodamnia spongiosa , with its incredibly pronounced three veined leaf. Myrtaceae are not particularly known for their three veined leaf structure, and I mused about whether many of the FNQ Lauraceae displayed this structural diagnostic.

  • Probosciger Aterrimus), the Legacy of Landscape and Biogeographic History
    Cultural diversity and meta-population dynamics in Australian palm cockatoos (Probosciger aterrimus), the legacy of landscape and biogeographic history. Miles V. Keighley Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy at the Fenner school of Environment and Society, Australian National University Photo credit: Luke Burnett © Copyright by Miles Vernon Keighley 2017 All Rights Reserved I certify that the majority of this thesis is my own original work. I have acknowledged all cases where contributions have been made by others in the Author contribution sections of each chapter. A significant contribution was made by another author who wrote the supplementary methods section of Chapter 4 (2150 words) and conducted these methods and analyses. Signed: Miles Vernon Keighley Date: September 21, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have neared completion if it wasn’t for the encouragement and support of the wonderful people surrounding me; first and foremost, my patient and infectiously enthusiastic supervisors Rob Heinsohn and Naomi Langmore. Big thank you to Christina Zdeneck for passing on so much useful knowledge about palm cockatoo vocal behaviour and accommodating us during visits to Iron Range. My family deserve much of the credit for the piece presented before you. My mum, Carol encouraged me to accept the position that I had applied for in the first place, and Dad helped to support me through my off-scholarship year. Through long phone calls, my brother James helped align my perspective keeping me functioning mentally and emotionally during fieldwork, and my other brother Matthew did the same during write-up in Denmark. I owe much to Xénia for helping support me during most of my final year, and encouraging me over the significant hurdles involved with moving overseas and a nasty back injury.

  • 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.

  • Atoll Research Bulletin No. 348 Plants of the Reef
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 348 PLANTS OF THE REEF ISLANDS OF THE NORTHERN GREAT BARRIER REEF F. RAYMOND FOSBERG AND DAVID R STODDART ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON D. C., USA JULY 1991 PLANTS OF THE REEF ISLANDS OF THE NORTHERN GREAT BARRIER REEF Abstract This paper records more than 380 species of vascular plants in 86 families from some 80 islands of the Great Barrier Reef north of 16'57's. The list increases by an order of magnitude the generally perceived species diversity of the coral islands of the Great Barrier Reef. Introduction This paper lists the plants of the coral islands of the Great Barrier Reef north of Sudbury Cay (Latitude 16'57's.); it extends to Arden Island, Dove Island and Masig (Yorke) Island in Latitude g045'S. It is based primarily on large collections made by Stoddart (1107 numbers, generally each in five sets) from 40,islands or island-groups, and sight records from a further 19 island-groups, obtained during detailed mapping of reef islands between 16'57's (Sudbury Cay) and 11'36's (Raine Island). These collections have been augmented by the collections made subsequently by R. Bucklcy and H. Heatwole, deposited in the Queensland Herbarium, and made available to us by that institution. We have attempted to include, so far as possible, previous literature records (dating back to collections by Sir Joseph Banks on Cook's first expedition in Endeavour), together with specimens we have found in various herbaria. Unfortunately we have been unable to trace (with few exceptions) the collections made by G.
