Book excerpt: "In the eight years since the release of the first edition there has been much ongoing study and analysis of plants, both in Tasmania and worldwide. This has resulted in a number of changes to classifications at family, genus and species level and I have endeavoured to update the information accordingly. Nomenclature is up-to-date as recorded in 'A Census of Vascular Plants of Tasmania', 2012 edition, which follows the system used by Cronquist (1981) and is how the botanical collection at the Tasmanian Herbarium is arranged."--Preface to 2nd ed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tasmanian Flora This work is mainly designed to encourage junior students to take a general interest in the vegetable beings living in this State. In pursuit of this end technicalities have been reduced, descriptions and general information have been abbreviated, and economy has been studied in every part. The system adopted is that of Hooker and Bentham, the one that is at present in use in most English-speaking communities. Many efforts have been made in recent years to improve on this. The late Baron von Mueller designed a system that is at present used largely in Victoria, and partially in New South Wales and South Australia, but it is doubtful if any extensive change will be made until a scheme is presented containing such radical improvements that a prospect of reasonable permanence may be foreseen. The main objection to Hooker and Bentham's system is that it contains a section - the Monochlamydeæ or Incomplete - that really is a sort of dumping-ground for all forms that have no relations elsewhere. This, of course, is not as it should be. Here we have primitive forms that have not yet acquired the typical Dicotyledonous form classified with plants of a reduced character that once possessed that form and have evolved away from it. But the state of affairs is not improved by distributing the Incompletes haphazard amongst the rest. Students should always bear in mind that not only are the great groups of plants descended from types long since lost, but the smaller groups and Natural Orders are seldom related in direct descent, and therefore any system that undertakes to classify plants in linear succession must necessarily be arbitrary, and almost entirely erroneous. Mueller's arrangement, and a more recent system by Dr. Warming, of Copenhagen, will be found in the Appendix. Plants, other than grasses, that have established themselves since Tasmania has been settled have only in few instances received the attention of natives, but are placed in an indented position. Had convenience permitted, their descriptions would have appeared in smaller type. The Plates must not be looked upon as the work of the Printing Department; they are faithful copies of the author's drawings. Had the departmental artists been permitted to idealise them some departure from a faithful copy of nature must have resulted, besides which increased cost would have necessitated a considerable decrease in number, which may have been the reverse of desirable.

Download or read book Alpine Tasmania written by James Barrie Kirkpatrick and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mountains of Tasmania possess an unusual alpine vegetation, largely dominated by floriferous or coniferous shrubs, and a flora with strong affinities to those of the other southern lands. There is global interest in Tasmania's spectacular biological features, as confirmed by David Attenborough's inclusion of some of its plants in a recent documentary, but no such guide for lay readers has been previously available. Bright Green and Gold offers a concise summary of the natural history of Tasmania's alpine environment, which continues to attract huge numbers of ecotourists and contains some of the most notable scenery in Australia. It celebrates this region in three ways: it provides a minimally technical account of contemporary knowledge of the ecology and plant geography of the vegetation and flora of the mountains, focusing in particular on the areas in which tree growth is absent; it provides a guide to the major plant communities of the vegetation type; and it serves as an aid to the identification of the more than 400 vascular plant species that occur in the alpine zone. Jamie Kirkpatrick joined with Georgina Davis, who has provided high-quality line drawings, and the late Peter Dombrovskis, whose 24 sumptuous photographs are a testament to his art and to the immense natural beauty of the region.

Download or read book Flora of Louisiana written by Margaret Stones and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1991-05-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years ago, during a long, confining illness in her native Australia, Margaret Stones whiled away the hours drawing the wildflowers friends placed at her bedside. Today she is acclaimed as one of the world's most distinguished botanical artists. Stones served for twenty-five years as the principal illustrator for Curtis's Botanical Magazine, contributing more than 400 drawings. She has also completed a six-volume illustrated work, The Endemic Flora of Tasmania, and has worked under commission for the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, England, the Royal Horticultural Society of England, and similar institutions the world over.In 1976, as part of the United States' bicentennial celebration, Louisiana State University commissioned Stones to execute six watercolor renderings of Louisiana flora. This initial project was so successful that Stones was asked to draw a much larger number of the state's native plants. Today Stones has completed more than 200 watercolors, all of which are maintained in the LSU Libraries' E. A. McIlhenny Natural History Collection. The drawings represent not only a collection of exquisite botanical art but an accurate scientific record of Louisiana's lush, varied, and beautiful flora.Flora of Louisiana reproduces the great bulk of Stones's collection. The volume contains more than 200 pages of full-color and black-and-white illustrations. Each drawing is accompanied by a short text that gives information about the plant, including a physical description and details about habitat and growing conditions.The publications of Flora of Louisiana is set to coincide with the first of several international exhibitions of Stones's drawings, beginning in April, 1991.
