LIBRARY BOOKS Please return Library Books at the November Meeting for stock-taking 95 How it is done Reg Shooter The October meeting could be called Sarcochilus night, out of a total of 31 plants benched 17 were Sarcochilus, providing a sight to behold. They ranged from the tiny cream spotted red flowers of Sarcochilus Weinhart, exhibited by Brendan Killen (It is a cross between Sarco weinthalii & hartmannii) on a small plant to the large specimen sized plant of Wally’s Sarco hartmannii it carried a total of 104 racemes (Bodo counted them) with an average of 18 crystalline white flowers per raceme. The judges were very impressed with the culture of this species they examined it closely eventually awarding the owner with a Certificate of Cultural Commendation. Another Sarcochilus that caught the judges eye was a relatively small plant of Sarcochilus falcatus grown by Steve Howard. It was mounted on a piece of tree branch, which seems to be the way this orchid prefers to grow and carried two 150mm long racemes of almost pure white large flowers 30mm across. This is about as big as they get on this species. Sarco. falcatus is the most widely spread of the Sarcochilus genus. In its natural habitat it extends from North Queensland right down the eastern seaboard to Eastern Victoria. It is a very variable species some have flowers that remain ‘cuppy’ and do not open fully whilst others have wide flat segments. Like many of the Sarcochilus species it is lightly perfumed smelling a little like tuberoses. In the terrestrials there was a magnificent specimen pot of Caladenia tentaculata a species endemic to South Australia. It was exhibited by Les Nesbitt who gave an interesting account of how he grows this species. There were eighteen 35cm tall flowers in a 300mm pot with many seedlings around the base of the plants. Les informed the meeting that he had ‘potted on’ this pot starting with a 150mm pot 3 years ago then into a larger pot until this size.

  • Pterostylis Foliata Hook.F
    NSW SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Preliminary Determination The Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (the Act), has made a Preliminary Determination to support a proposal to list the terrestrial orchid Pterostylis foliata Hook.f. as a VULNERABLE SPECIES in Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Act. Listing of Vulnerable species is provided for by Part 2 of the Act. The Scientific Committee has found that: 1. Pterostylis foliata Hook.f. (family Orchidaceae) is described as: “Terrestrial herb. Leaves 3–6, scattered on the basal part of the stem, oblong to ovate or elliptic, 2–5 cm long, 8–16 mm wide, margins crisped or wavy; sessile. Scape to 30 cm high; stem smooth. Flower c. 2 cm long, dark green and white with brown in the galea, erect. Apex of galea obliquely erect, flat or slightly decurved. Lateral sepals tightly embracing the galea; sinus broadly to deeply V-shaped when viewed from the front, protruding in a shallow curve when viewed from the side; free points linear-tapered, c. 15 mm long, erect, divergent. Petals narrow, subacute. Labellum oblong, 9–12 mm long, c. 3 mm wide, brown, obtuse, distal third protruding from the sinus in the set position.” (PlantNET, 2015). 2. There is the possibility that more than one species are included under the name Pterostylis foliata as several forms are easily recognised (Bishop 2000). Populations attributed to this species do not form a monophyletic group in the molecular phylogeny presented by Clements et al. (2011) however this study was based on a limited number of samples, none of which was from New South Wales (NSW).

  • Australian Orchidaceae: Genera and Species (12/1/2004)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (21/1/2008) by Mark A. Clements Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name. Synonyms are also cross-referenced under genus.

    Department for Environment and Heritage Management Plan Mowantjie Willauwar and Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Parks 2008 www.environment.sa.gov.au This plan of management was adopted on 30 May 2008 and was prepared pursuant to section 38 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. Published by the Department for Environment and Heritage, Adelaide, Australia © Department for Environment and Heritage, 2008 ISBN: 978 1 921466 16 8 Cover photography: Scented Irongrass tussock grassland at Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Park (Left) (T. Dendy, DEH) and Southern Cypress Pine forest at Mowantjie Willauwar Conservation Park (Right) (C. Lovering, DEH). This document may be cited as ‘Department for Environment and Heritage (2008) Mowantjie Willauwar and Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Parks Management Plan, Adelaide, South Australia’. FOREWORD Mowantjie Willauwar Conservation Park conserves 142.9 hectares of Southern Cypress Pine Forest found approximately six kilometres south-west of Tailem Bend in the Murralyands region of South Australia. The nationally vulnerable Sandhill Greenhood Orchid and nationally endangered Metallic Sun-orchid have been found in the park. The population of Sandhill Greenhood Orchids is one of the nine remaining in our State. Visitors can enjoy this park while walking along the new River Bend Heritage Trail that extends between the ferry crossings in Tailem Bend and Wellington. Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Park is in close proximity to Mowantjie Willauwar Conservation Park, being approximately five kilometres south-east of Tailem Bend. The Scented Irongrass tussock grassland conserved in Poonthie Ruwe Conservation Park is the largest known area of this vegetation community (240.9 hectares) endemic to South Australia. Temperate grasslands such as those found in this park are poorly conserved resulting in a classification as critically endangered under Australian Government legislation.
