    Cunninghamia Date of Publication: February 2020 A journal of plant ecology for eastern Australia ISSN 0727- 9620 (print) • ISSN 2200 - 405X (Online) The Australian paintings of Marianne North, 1880–1881: landscapes ‘doomed shortly to disappear’ John Leslie Dowe Australian Tropical Herbarium, James Cook University, Smithfield, Qld 4878 AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Abstract: The 80 paintings of Australian flora, fauna and landscapes by English artist Marianne North (1830-1890), completed during her travels in 1880–1881, provide a record of the Australian environment rarely presented by artists at that time. In the words of her mentor Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker, director of Kew Gardens, North’s objective was to capture landscapes that were ‘doomed shortly to disappear before the axe and the forest fires, the plough and the flock, or the ever advancing settler or colonist’. In addition to her paintings, North wrote books recollecting her travels, in which she presented her observations and explained the relevance of her paintings, within the principles of a ‘Darwinian vision,’ and inevitable and rapid environmental change. By examining her paintings and writings together, North’s works provide a documented narrative of the state of the Australian environment in the late nineteenth- century, filtered through the themes of personal botanical discovery, colonial expansion and British imperialism.

    Papers and Proceedings Royal Society ofTasmania, Volume 1999 103 THE CHARACTERISTICS AND MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS OF THE VEGETATION AND FLORA OF THE HUNTINGFIELD AREA, SOUTHERN TASMANIA by J.B. Kirkpatrick (with two tables, four text-figures and one appendix) KIRKPATRICK, J.B., 1999 (31:x): The characteristics and management problems of the vegetation and flora of the Huntingfield area, southern Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 133(1): 103-113. ISSN 0080-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University ofTasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. The Huntingfield area has a varied vegetation, including substantial areas ofEucalyptus amygdalina heathy woodland, heath, buttongrass moorland and E. amygdalina shrubbyforest, with smaller areas ofwetland, grassland and E. ovata shrubbyforest. Six floristic communities are described for the area. Two hundred and one native vascular plant taxa, 26 moss species and ten liverworts are known from the area, which is particularly rich in orchids, two ofwhich are rare in Tasmania. Four other plant species are known to be rare and/or unreserved inTasmania. Sixty-four exotic plantspecies have been observed in the area, most ofwhich do not threaten the native biodiversity. However, a group offire-adapted shrubs are potentially serious invaders. Management problems in the area include the maintenance ofopen areas, weed invasion, pathogen invasion, introduced animals, fire, mechanised recreation, drainage from houses and roads, rubbish dumping and the gathering offirewood, sand and plants. Key Words: flora, forest, heath, Huntingfield, management, Tasmania, vegetation, wetland, woodland. INTRODUCTION species with the most cover in the shrub stratum (dominant species) was noted. If another species had more than half The Huntingfield Estate, approximately 400 ha of forest, the cover ofthe dominant one it was noted as a codominant.

    Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania AN ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPOSED STATE FOREST COUPE BG034A FOR SPECIES OF NATIVE ORCHID Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania (ECOtas) for Forest Practices Authority 20 September 2007 Mark Wapstra ABN 83 464 107 291 business ph.:(03) 62 513 212 28 Suncrest Avenue email: [email protected] personal ph.: (03) 62 283 220 Lenah Valley, TAS 7008 web: www.ecotas.com.au mobile ph.: 0407 008 685 ECOtas…providing options in environmental consulting ECOtas…providing options in environmental consulting Background, Scope and Purpose ECOtas was engaged to provide an assessment of the significance of proposed State forest coupe BG034A for Tasmanian native orchid species. This consultancy has arisen because Forestry Tasmania (Mersey District) proposes to subject BG034A to native forest silviculture. In correspondence (27 March 2007) between the Crowther family (who live immediately adjacent to the State forest) and Mr Bob Hamilton (Forestry Tasmania, Mersey District), the potential significance of this part of State forest for terrestrial native orchids was raised. Specifically, the Crowther family indicated that about 40 species of orchids have been found from within the proposed coupe area (and several more species in nearby areas), and the list provided in correspondence included three species currently listed on the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. The Forest Practices Authority engaged ECOtas to determine the significance of the proposed coupe, especially in regard to the potential of the area to support species of high conservation significance (e.g. legislatively listed species, species with unusual or disjunct distributions, etc.). The report is deliberately brief and is not intended to provide recommendations or management prescriptions for threatened flora.
