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.

  • Geographic Variation in Eucalyptus Diversifolia (Myrtaceae) and the Recognition of New Subspecies E
    22 December 1997 Australian Systematic Botany, 10, 651–680 Geographic Variation in Eucalyptus diversifolia (Myrtaceae) and the Recognition of New Subspecies E. diversifolia subsp. hesperia and E. diversifolia subsp. megacarpa Ian J. WrightABC and Pauline Y. LadigesA ASchool of Botany, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Vic. 3052, Australia. BPresent address: School of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia. CCorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract Patterns of geographic variation in morphological and chemical characters are documented in Eucalyptus diversifolia Bonpl. (soap mallee, white coastal mallee). This species is found in coastal and subcoastal Australia from southern Western Australia to Cape Nelson (western Victoria), with a number of disjunctions in the intervening region. Morphological data from adult plants collected at field localities and seedlings grown under uniform conditions were analysed using univariate and multivariate methods, including oneway ANOVA, multiple comparison tests, non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), nearest neighbour networks, and minimum spanning trees. Seedling material was tested for isozyme polymorphism, and adult leaf flavonoids were analysed using liquid chromatography. Morphological and chemical characters are also documented in E. aff. diversifolia, a closely related but unnamed taxon restricted to ironstone outcrops near Norseman (WA), and putative E. diversifolia– E. baxteri hybrids from Cape Nelson. Congruent patterns in data sets distinguish three groups of E. diversifolia adults and progeny: (1) those to the west of the Nullarbor disjunction; (2) South Australian populations to the east of this disjunction; and (3) those from Cape Nelson. Formal taxonomic recognition of the three forms at subspecific level is established, namely E.

New South Wales ser. 2, 5: 18 (1890) The botanical name commemorates Edwin Merrall who collected the type specimen from near Lake Brown in 1890 (see Hall 1984 for biographical details). Common name Merrall’s Wattle. Characteristic features Shrubs low and spreading. Phyllodes short and broad, smooth, thick and sub-fleshy, minutely hairy when young but glabrous with age, obscurely 1-nerved on each face, apical point distinct. Heads globular. Pods sub-terete, small, strongly curved to irregularly coiled, dark brown to black. Aril bright orange (rarely yellow), conspicuous and partially sheathing the seed. Description Habit. Low-domed or flat-topped, multi-stemmed shrubs (0.2-)0.3-1.5(-2.5) m tall, often +/- circular in plane view and the dense crown spreading 1-4 m wide. Bark. Smooth and grey from base of main stems to the branchlets. New shoots. Grey-green due to a dense layer of hairs. Branchlets. Usually minutely hairy. Phyllodes. Variable in shape and size, obliquely obovate to elliptic-orbicular or oblong-elliptic, rarely ovate, usually 8-25 mm long and 5-17 mm wide with l:w = 1.2-3, smooth, thick and sub-fleshy, green, grey-green or sub-glaucous, finely appressed- hairy when young but becoming glabrous with age; with 1 obscure longitudinal nerve (midrib) on each face, lateral nerves +/- absent; marginal nerves prominent and yellowish; apices ending in a small, curved or straight point which varies from innocuous to +/- pungent; gland situated on the upper margin of the phyllode (on its lower half), not raised.
