Starting from Dinner Plain Hut, follow Fitzy’s Cirque to the sign marking the crossing point to the northern side of the Great Alpine Road and the track leading to the Forest Walks trailhead which serves three walks – Room with a View, Montane Walking Trail and Dead Timber Hill (see separate track notes). The Room with a View walk initially follows a slightly undulating trail then flattens out. The track heads north along the eastern flanks of Dead Timber Hill. After 0.5km it drops gently down to a grassy plain and veers west to a marker that designates the track loop. Most walkers prefer to keep to the left route as it descends through snow grass and drops through the Snow Gums to a small clearing - here is the ‘room Starfish Fungus - Image courtesy Parks Victoria with a view’. Directly ahead in the middle ground is the Look out for Cobungra River valley.

Two subspecies are recognized: B. ramosissima subsp. ramosissima is widely distributed in coastal and inland localities from northern New South Wales through Victoria to South Australia and Tasmania;B. ramosissima subsp. prostrata (Hook, f.) G. W. Carr, comb, et stat. nov., occurs in southern coastal New South Wales, southern Victoria and northern and western Tasmania. Both taxa are described and illustrated, also a key to their identification is provided. Distribution of the taxa is mapped. Geographical variation, ecology and biology are discussed. INTRODUCTION Baeckea ramosissima (as currently recognized by Australian botanists) is a widespread and very distinct species occurring in south eastern Australia. The eastern Australian species most closely allied to it are B. crassifolia Lindl. and B. ericaea F. Muell. My observations on its Victorian populations have supported the view of Willis (1973) that it is “A polymorphic assemblage, some populations of which may merit taxonomic distinction.” The descriptions by Black (1952), Curtis (1956) and Beadle et al.

Karen A. Johnson Statement of authority of access This thesis may be made available for copying. Copying of any part of this thesis is prohibited for two years from the date this statement was signed; after that time limited copying is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Karen A. Johnson iii iv Abstract Relationships between plants and their pollinators are thought to have played a major role in the morphological diversification of angiosperms. The epacrids (subfamily Styphelioideae) comprise more than 550 species of woody plants ranging from small prostrate shrubs to temperate rainforest emergents. Their range extends from SE Asia through Oceania to Tierra del Fuego with their highest diversity in Australia. The overall aim of the thesis is to determine the relationships between epacrid floral features and potential pollinators, and assess the evolutionary status of any pollination syndromes. The main hypotheses were that flower characteristics relate to pollinators in predictable ways; and that there is convergent evolution in the development of pollination syndromes.

    Fungal Diversity The macrofungal community and fire in a Mountain Ash forest in southern Australia Sapphire J.M. McMullan-Fisherl,z*, Tom W. May3 and Phil J. Keanel 'School of Botany, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria 3084, Australia 2Current address: University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia 3Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Birdwood Ave, South Yarra, Victoria 3141, Australia McMullan-Fisher, S.J.M., May, T.W. and Keane, P.J. (2002). The macrofungal community and fire in a Mountain Ash forest in southern Australia. In: Fungal Succession (eds. K.D. Hyde and E.B.G. Jones). Fungal Diversity 10: 57-76. Changes in the occurrence of macrofungi with time following forestry activities and fire were studied at 14 sites in Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) dominated forests, in the Eastern Central Highlands, Victoria, Australia. Forests of 0-57 years after fire were used to compare macrofungal communities. Pattern analysis through classification and ordination showed that there was a distinct change in the macrofungal community over time since disturbance. Three phases were apparent in the process of recolonisation after fire: (1) immediate post-fire (0• year), (2) an intermediate phase (2- and 4-year-old), and (3) a mature phase (7-year-old and older). The macrofungi evident in the Mountain Ash forest during the first year after fire were the most distinctive. The change in the suite of macrofungi closely reflected the changes in macro fungal substrates in the forests of different ages. Macrofungi found to be specific to certain stages of regeneration after fire will provide a subset of indicator taxa suitable for use in further surveys.
