While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

This article reports the results of a botanical inventory of the vascular plants from the protected area, evidences species newly encountered and establishes a comparison of the floristic diversity with the Akagera National Park in Rwanda located in the same phytochorion, in the Lake Victoria regional mosaic.

  • Tropical and Sub-Tropical Legumes
    Tropical and Sub-Tropical Legumes Burgundy Bean* (Macroptilium bracteatum) Stylo (Stylosanthes spp.) A summer growing perennial legume suited to climates ranging from central QLD to central Stylos are high feed value legumes that are known to be highly productive and can persist NSW. It is a drought tolerant, deep-rooted plant that regenerates well from high seed and spread in the extended hot-dry climates of tropical and sub-tropical Australia. They yields. It has a fair tolerance to cold conditions. Burgundy Bean* has good leaf coverage, Erect & Trailing have good persistence and ease of establishment in the poorer, lighter soils of Northern thick stems and long runners. It can be an ideal alternative for Butterfly Pea in Sub-Tropical Australia, in particularly Central QLD. regions because of its greater tolerance to colder temperatures. Seca Stylo (Stylosanthes scabra) Seca Stylo, also known as shrubby stylo is an exceptionally hardy perennial plant, ideal for Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) extensive grazing. Seca Stylo keeps green leaf into Autumn and persists through drought Butterfly Pea is a vigorous, perennial plant with fine twinning stems. A high protein legume, due to their deep taproots. They are well suited to infertile, acid, friable or hard setting, it grows well on medium to heavy clay soils with reasonable fertility and rainfall, showing sandy-surfaced soils and soils low in phosphorus. Palatability can be low and in the early Climbing Vine part of the growing season, grass is grazed preferentially. Susceptible to anthracnose. remarkable persistence and can tolerate short-term waterlogging. It is susceptible to heavy grazing and therefore performs best in a spell grazing system that allows seed set.

    Register of Australian Herbage Plant Cultivars B. Legumes 14. Vigna b. Vigna parkeri Bak. ssp. maranguënsis (Taub.) Verdc. (creeping vigna) cv. Shaw Reg. No. B-14b-1 Registered December 1985 Published in the Journal of the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science 52(2):115-18. 1986. Origin Derived from stands of Vigna parkeri ssp. maranguënisi, formerly incorrectly identified as V. gracilis, growing on Beerwah Research Station, south-east Queensland (5, 6). It was first noticed in 1970 when it was collected as CQ948 but only became prominent from 1975 onwards and was recollected as CQ1374 in 1977 (5). It has since spread widely over Beerwah Research Station but no differences have been noted among plants of the station and therefore all V. parkeri at Beerwah is considered to be CQ1374 (7). There is no known record of V. parkeri being sown at Beerwah so it is not possible to unequivocally identify CQ1374 with any specific introduction. However, in a detailed comparison of all 16 V. parkeri accessions for which seed is available, CQ1374 appeared morphologically and phenologically identical to CPI 25378 introduced from Uganda (2). All other accessions had one or more features, primarily leaf marking and seed size, that consistently differentiate them from CQ 1374. One introduction, CPI 37951, was not tested as no viable seed remained. CPI 25378 was introduced by N.H. Shaw from the Veterinary Farm, Entabbe, Uganda, and was registered in Canberra on 3rd December 1958. Seed was initially collected in Uganda by K.W. Harker in 1955. In Shaw’s collection notes, it is described as being palatable, very common in grazed and ungrazed areas, invading grazed pastures carrying about 1 beast to 2 acres, and even invading Paspalum notatum in paths (9).
