The canopy is variable in cover, but is most often composed of pure A. dealbata trees that can reach 30 m in height. The understorey is variable reflecting the diverse disturbance situations in which the community arises.

The understorey ranges from relatively open to dense. A diversity of species may be present, including eucalypts (or rainforest and wet sclerophyll species (including other species of Acacia) over a fern-dominated ground layer.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

News from the Nursery We are madly propagating at the moment, with many thousands of new cuttings putting their roots out and seedlings popping their heads up above the propagating mix. It is always an exciting time, as we experiment with seed from new species – sometimes they work, and sometimes we understand why we’ve never grown them before... New plants should start being put out into the sales area soon – fresh-faced little things ready to pop into the ground! We have recently purchased a further block of land from the ex-neighbours Jubilee Nursery, now sadly closed, that will give us a lot more flexibility and the ability to grow and store more plants. As mentioned last newsletter we have done some major revamping in the garden. A lot of work by all the staff has led to a much more open garden with a lovely Westringia brevifolia hedge (well, it will be a hedge when it grows a bit), another Micrantheum hexandrum Cream Cascade hedge-to-be, lots of Correas, Lomatias and Baueras. Where we sell a few forms of a particular species we have tried to plant examples of each so that we can show you what they are like.

On the Central Plateau (and other dolerite areas such as Mount Field), broad poorly– drained valleys and small glacial depressions may contain scattered A. cupressoides trees and copses over Sphagnum cristatum bogs. In the treeless gaps, Sphagnum cristatum is usually overgrown by a combination of any of Richea scoparia, R. gunnii, Baloskion australe, Epacris gunnii and Gleichenia alpina. This is one of three benchmarks available for assessing the condition of RPW. This is the appropriate benchmark to use in assessing the condition of the Sphagnum facies of the listed Athrotaxis cupressoides open woodland community (Schedule 3A, Nature Conservation Act 2002).

[ms. received 3.9.1982) STRUCTURAL AND FLORISTIC VARIATION IN THE FOREST COMMUNITIES OF THE WEST TAMAR, TASMANIA. by M.J. Brown and R.T. Buckney N.P.W.S., P.O.

(with three tables and five text-figures) ABSTRACT BROWN, M.J. & BUCKNEY, R.T., 1983 (31 viii): Structural and floristic variation in the forest communities of the West Tamar, Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm., 117: 135- 152. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.117.135 ISSN 0080-4703. National Parks & Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 210, Sandy Bay, Tasmania and School of Life Sciences, N.S.W. Institute of Technology, P.O. Box 123, Broadway, New South Wales. The forest communities in the West Tamar were sampled by a stratified random process using 55 plots selected after preliminary analy sis of 243 Forestry Commission continuous forest inventory plots, which occur in the area. A total of 13 floristic units were recognised and described. The relationship of the floristic units to changing water availability, drainage, soil fertility and fire frequency are assessed and the problems of structural versus floristic classifications of forest types are discussed. INTRODUCTION The dry forests of Tasmania occupy some of the most heavily utilised areas of the state. Clearing for agriculture and urban development, sawlog extraction, firewood getting and burning combined with stock grazing have all made their mark on this vegeta­ tion.

Abstract Xero- and scleromorphic adaptations are obviously shown by Australian plants, in response to the Australian climate and edaphic factors. Since these adaptations overlap, there are problems separating the two. Some qualitative hypotheses about the distinction between xero- and scleromorphic characters have been proposed. This research is an effort to quantitatively determine xeromorphic characters in some members of the Proteaceae, in order to elaborate upon some of the existing hypotheses about these characters. Twenty three species of Banksia, 16 species of Grevillea and 6 species of Orites were sectioned and observed under the light micrscope and measurements were made of the stomata! depressions, margin recurvations, cuticle thickness and hair dimensions.

  • Interim Management Plan for the Mt Read RAP
    Tasmanian Geological Survey Tasmania Record 1997/04 Interim Management Plan for the Mt Read RAP A Co-operatively Formulated Plan by Government Agencies, Statutory Bodies and Relevant Land Users for the Mt Read RAP SUMMARY The formulation of this plan by a co-operative committee, comprising representatives from Government Agencies, statutory bodies and relevant land users, is a ‘first’ for Tasmania. The effort by these various parties with an interest in the Mt Read area demonstrates the commitment to protect the area in the absence of any formal reserve. The Mt Read RAP is almost entirely covered by two current mining leases, ML7M/91 over the Henty gold deposit and ML28M/93 associated with the Rosebery silver-lead-zinc mine, and exploration licence EL5/96 held by Renison Limited. The RAP is within the Mt Read Strategic Prospectivity Zone, which means that if the status of the land is changed and this effectively prevents activities on the current mining tenements, then compensation may be payable. The vegetation around Lake Johnston is acknowledged as having exceptionally high conservation and scientific values, which is why a management plan for the area was written in 1992 and adopted by the lessee. There is a need to expand the scope of the previous plan so that all users of the Mt Read area are aware of the need to abide by measures to protect the vegetation. In addition, media reports have generated much interest in the ancient stands of Huon pine growing in one part of the Mt Read RAP. Studies indicate that the existing Huon pine on the site comprises one or a few individuals which may have vegetatively reproduced on the site since the last glaciation.

  • Lomatia Tasmanica
    Lomatia tasmanica FAMILY: PROTEACEAE BOTANICAL NAME: Lomatia tasmanica, W.M.Curtis, Stud. Fl. Tasm. 3: 651 (1967) COMMON NAME: King’s lomatia COMMONWEALTH STATUS: (EPBC Act) Critically Endangered TASMANIAN STATUS: (TSP Act) endangered Lomatia tasmanica. A. Gray. Description A distinctive small tree, usually between 2-4 metres tall (sometimes up to 6-8 metres). This species is thin and spindly, usually branched at the top and may develop a leaning trunk with a few erect branches. The young stems and buds are densely covered in fine hairs. Lomatia tasmanica forms underground stems (rhizomes). Leaves: The leaves are green, shiny, shortly stalked, arranged alternately and crowded at the ends of the branches. They are either prickly-toothed or lobed and between 10-18 cm long and 2.5-4 cm broad (arranged like the barbs of a feather, with 7-10 pairs of stalkless leaflets). Flowers: The crimson flowers have yellow pollen sacs (anthers) and are arranged on stalks in succession along the stem (the oldest flower is usually at the base). They have 4 petal-like segments, hooded tips and are rather thick and fleshy. Fruit: Lomatia tasmanica is fascinating, as no fruit or seed has ever been found (both in wild specimens and those grown in the botanical gardens). Flowering has been observed to occur around January-February, however not annually. The population appears to be sustained by root suckering and coppice only (Lynch et al. 1998). Herbarium specimens have been collected from August to April. Distribution and Habitat This species is endemic to Tasmania and is restricted to Southwest Tasmania.
