Capparis L. (Capparaceae) is a genus of approximately 145 species, many which have an ancient history human use. Australia harbours 21 accepted species , including the widespread and taxonomically complex spinosa L., two phrase-named putative new species; however, relationships these their taxonomic status remains to be tested. Here, we present first phylogenetic trees containing all Australian based on nuclear Angiosperms353 loci. Paralogous gene sequences were identified handled through...
Pandanus grayorum Callm., Buerki & Gallaher (Pandanaceae) is newly described from the Wet Tropics of north-eastern Queensland in Australia. It second Australian species other than P. gemmifer H.St.John known to reproduce by axillary plantlets on aerial branches. can be distinguished and solms-laubachii F.Muell. dimensions its leaves, shape syncarps, morphology phalanges. The placement a molecular phylogeny confirmed morphological evidence showed that new clusters with clade closely...
Derris Lour. and Brachypterum (Wight & Arn.) Benth. (Leguminosae subfamily Papilionoideae) in Australia are revised on the basis of examination fresh, dried spirit-preserved specimens phylogenetic analysis plastid matK nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence data. Three species four recognised as occurring Australia. Two new species, namely nitidum W.E.Cooper opacum W.E.Cooper, described illustrated. Notes habitat, distribution an identification key presented for all both...
Abstract Background Sugar feeding is a fundamental behaviour of many mosquito species. For Aedes albopictus , an important vector dengue virus and chikungunya virus, little known about its sugar-feeding behaviour, no studies have been conducted on this in the southern hemisphere. This knowledge pivotal for determining potential attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) to control vector. Methods The prevalence was assessed 1808 Ae. from Masig Island, Torres Strait, Australia collected between...
Indigenous knowledge is recognised globally for its potential value in contemporary biodiversity conservation, management and research (Convention on Biological Diversity 2010; NRMMC 2010). In tropical Australia, peoples' strong diverse presence country presents an important opportunity to support systems. November 20 I 0, we held a workshop Cairns consider whether ethnobotany centre would be good way of supporting about the cultural values plants.
Boea cavernarum, restricted to near limestone crevices and caves in NE Queensland, is described. Images of whole plants, flowers, fruit leaf indumentum, a distribution map, key all species Australia are provided. Thirteen now recognised Boea.
[Extract] Alick William Dockrill (1915-2011), author of the classic work Australian Indigenous Orchids (Dockrill 1969, 1992) donated his personal orchid herbarium approximately 1600 specimens to National Herbarium - Atherton (QRS) which is now integrated with Tropical Cairns (CRN).
The new species, Tecomanthe burungu Zich & A.J.Ford (Bignoniaceae) from the Wet Tropics bioregion of north-eastern Queensland is described, illustrated and differentiated similar closely related taxa.
All Dichapetalum known in Australia are described and illustrated including two new species: auranticarpum W.E.Cooper cremeum W.E.Cooper. australianum C.T.White is reinstated, timoriense DC. confirmed for the Northern Territory. Notes on habitat distribution provided, as well a key to Australian species.
Managers of Australasian Herbarium Collections (MAHC) is a sub-committee the Council Heads Herbaria (CHAH) and provides advice recommendations pertaining to management herbarium collections. It was formed in 2009 based initially on Australian herbaria, later incorporated New Zealand herbaria. MAHC currently has 18 member institutions representing both government funded, university includes largest (National Victoria - MEL) smallest collections (Macquarie University MQU) region. The group...
Several herbaria in Australia and New Zealand have recently been required to implement changes the way which spirit (alcohol or wet) specimens are managed their institutions order deal with various curatorial staff health safety challenges. We will present an overview of some key lessons learned from addressing issues such as mould, FAA (formalin-acetic acid alcohol solution), inadequate housing storage our whilst also ensuring that best-practice curation standards implemented along...
FAA was used as a fixative and preservative for plant fruit, flowers other parts pre-1992 at the Australian National Herbarium in Canberra Tropical Cairns. In total, approximately 15,000 bottles contained solution. 2012, Hazardous Substance classification formaldehyde changed from Category 3 to 2 accordance with Globally Harmonized System of Classification Labelling Chemicals (GHS) it is now considered that probably carcinogenic humans following inhalation exposure. The basis lowering...
