Atlas of Leaf Venation and Oil Gland Patterns in the Eucalypts
Atlas of Leaf Venation and Oil Gland Patterns in the Eucalypts is an aid to the identification of eucalypts in the field and a confirmation of the natural affinities between species and higher-level taxa on the basis of their comparative morphology. Its purpose is to standardise leaf venation and oil gland terminology and to demonstrate the taxonomic value of leaf venation and oil gland patterns within the eucalypts. The work discusses the visible features of the adult leaves of eucalypts as seen with reflected and transmitted light. Because venation and oil glands become obscure in dried specimens this work relies entirely on the comprehensive sampling and observation of fresh leaves. High quality, scaled, leaf venation images of vouchered specimens are used to compare all taxonomic groups in the eucalypts. All genera, sections, series and subseries are represented.
Eucalypts of South Australia
The diversity of eucalypt species explains why they dominate almost every environment in South Australia. And it is their dominance and diversity, from massive timber trees to dwarf, highly ornamental shrubs that has captured the interest of more people than any other single group of native plants. South Australia has 95 native eucalypts, including 20 never before illustrated in colour. The book enables identification of all species, gives clear maps and descriptions on where to find them and provides valuable advice on how to grow them and their potential uses. Eucalypts of South Australia has been designed and written for anyone interested in growing native trees. It is an invaluable companion to naturalists, farmers, gardeners bushwalkers and all those with an interest in this iconic species.
Eucalypts of Western Australia - the South-West Coast and Ranges
This is a book for all to enjoy, with every eucalypt species occurring along the south-west coast and ranges of Western Australia being comprehensively described (147 species and subspecies in total). All will appreciate the assistance this book will deliver in providing a wealth of information regarding the identification, distribution and ecology of each eucalypt included. For each of the 147 eucalypts, a double-page provides the following information: - Images of the whole plant, bark, flowers and fruits - Seedling painting by Ian Roberts - Detailed distribution maps for the south-west of WA - Meaning and origin of the name - Original naming and type information - Characteristic features ...
Eucalypts of Victoria and Tasmania
A total of 141 species, subspecies and varieties of eucalypts are known in Victoria and Tasmania. This title describes these including six unnamed eucalypts. It contains almost 600 colour photographs, including each species in its natural habitat, as well as images of the bark, buds, flowers and fruits of each species.
Eucalyptus
Updated edition of this illustrated guide to identification.Australia?s bush and cities alike are dominated by eucalypts, in habitats as diverse as desert dunes and snowy mountain tops. Eucalyptus? uses are varied: from commercial harvesting for essential oil, timber or fibre, to species with spectacular flowers that are prized by gardeners as ornamental trees. Many of these species may superficially look alike. It is not possible to identify eucalypts from their leaves alone, but with a few simple aids to identification most can be tracked down. This easy-to-use book guides the reader through the key features: type of bark, appearance of buds, flowers and fruit ? the gumnuts ? and arrangement of bud clusters that will lead to the correct species name.
Koala: The Extraordinary Life of an Enigmatic Animal
A New Scientist Best Popular Science Book of the Year "This is the book I’ve been waiting for." —Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus An Australian biologist delves into the extraordinary world of koalas, from their ancient ancestors to the current threats to their survival. Koalas regularly appeared in Australian biologist Danielle Clode’s backyard, but it was only when a bushfire threatened that she truly paid them attention. She soon realized how much she had to learn about these complex and mysterious animals. In vivid, descriptive prose, Clode embarks on a delightful and surprising journey through evolutionary biology, natural history, and ecology to understand where th...
The Memory of Trees
Most Australians see their world through eucalypts. From towering forests to straggly woodlands, in city parks, by the coast and in the bush, these are the trees that inhabit our familiar landscapes and national psyche. Yet the resilience of our eucalypt ecosystems is being tested by logging and land clearing, disease and drought, fire and climate change. In many places they are a faded remnant of those known by past generations. How important is the memory of these trees? In search of answers, Viki Cramer takes us on a journey through the richest botanical corner of the continent, exploring forests of rugged jarrah and majestic karri, woodlands of enduring salmon gum and burnished-bark gimlet. Spending time with the people caring for these precious places, she interrogates the decisions of the past, takes a measure of the present and glimpses hope for the landscapes of tomorrow. The Memory of Trees will make you look anew at the trees and environments that sustain us and show the many ways that, together, we can ensure their future.
