Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naturalised Flora of South Australia This is a descriptive and illustrated handbook of the alien plants naturalised in South Australia and propagating themselves spontaneously. Such plants form the greater part of our herbage near towns, and many of them have found their way into the far interior. The list also includes several ornamental plants which have gone astray from gardens or hedges, and all the "noxious weeds" which have been proclaimed as such by the Government. The subject is therefore of some importance, and it is hoped that this little book may be useful and interesting, not only to students of nature, but to country residents who may desire some botanical knowledge about the introduced plants which grow in their fields. No work of this kind has hitherto appeared in South Australia, or, as far as I know, in any part of Australia. The late Professor Tate, in his "Flora of Extra-tropical South Australia" (1890), dealt with only our native plants. Of the 368 plants here described, the countries of origin are as follow: - Europe generally (usually including Western Asia), 128; Mediterranean region (European and frequently North African Coasts), 92; most parts of the globe (cosmopolitan), 60; South Africa, 44; temperate South America, 15; Asia, 10; temperate North America, 6; Eastern Australia, 6; Western Australia, 1; Mexico, 3; Abyssinia, 1; Canary Islands, 2. It is noticeable that the plants which succeed best in the struggle for life are those which come from lands with climates resembling our own, such as the Mediterranean region, South Africa and temperate South America.

This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Naturalised Weeds and Other Plants in South Australia It is an historical fact that whenever man settles in a new country he not only carries the weeds that are most troublesome in cultivated ground along with him, but he also exercises a potent influence over the indigenous vegetation, especially when he engages in agricultural and pastoral pursuits. The plough, the axe, the flocks and herds, are enemies to the existing vegetation, and as cultivation advances each representant of the herbaceous flora, perennial and annual, succumbs to the foreign influence. But the plough, axe, and herds are not the sole destroyers of the native herbage, for with cultivation are introduced noxious weeds, and the new-comers, finding a suitable soil and climate, spread with alarming rapidity, and become possessors of the ground, ejecting the indigenous herbaceous plants, and taking their places. From the past and present constant intercourse with Europe and other parts of the world, and the abundant importation of seeds into Australia for agricultural and horticultural purposes, it is no wonder that a very great number of the weeds most troublesome at home are now naturalised in South Australia. Our temperate climate and soil suit their growth, and such atmospheric influences, as hot winds, unseasonable, &c., do not check their spread. Another cause of their extension is to be found in the extent of unoccupied ground, which is alone sufficient to account for the predominance and migration of so many of the worst European weeds. Some of these, viz.: - The Cockspur, Centaurea melitensis, Linn.; the Bathurst bur, Xanthium spinosum. Linn.; the Scotch thistle, Onopordon Acanthium, Linn.; the Variegated thistle, Carduus Marianus, Linn.; the Stinkaster, Inula suaveolens, Jacq.; the Sheep weed, Lithospermum arvense, Linn.; and the Cape dandelion, Cryptostema calendulacea, R. Br., already cover immense tracts of pasture land, and extend farther and farther to the destruction of the native herbage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian Vegetation has been an essential reference for students and researchers in botany, ecology and natural resource management for over 35 years. Now fully updated and with a new team of authors, the third edition presents the latest insights on the patterns and processes that shaped the vegetation of Australia. The first part of the book provides a synthesis of ecological processes that influence vegetation traits throughout the continent, using a new classification of vegetation. New chapters examine the influences of climate, soils, fire regimes, herbivores and aboriginal people on vegetation, in addition to completely revised chapters on evolutionary biogeography, quaternary vegetation history and alien plants. The book's second half presents detailed ecological portraits for each major vegetation type and offers data-rich perspectives and comparative analysis presented in tables, graphs, maps and colour illustrations. This authoritative book will inspire readers to learn and explore first-hand the vegetation of Australia.
