Grassland litter decomposition experiment... First site on Vic Volcanic Plain is go. Storm imminent. @MeganVeganGood John Morgan

The cones of the rock banksia are weird. Banksia saxicola in the Grampians, Victoria #Proteaceae #ozplants

Meet a tropical conifer called the rimu and learn how it may be the key to success in bringing that wonderful flightless parrot, the kakapo, back from the brink of extinction🌲 indefenseofplants.com/blog/2018/11/1…

Wilson's prom litter decomposition site ready to go. Field experiments are sah cute! Nick Schultz John Morgan

Well, in the interest of being a cautionary tale, I shall reveal our website. We are not ready to throw in the towel yet, but this is going to require a re-think. satreewatch.com.au

What a beauty! Sarcochilus fitzgeraldii (Ravine #Orchid) is listed as vulnerable due to poaching & its easy to see why collectors want them! We're hoping for #seeds from this healthy wild population near Dorrigo, so fingers crossed! #PlantBank #conservation #SavingOurSpecies

Native grasslands are currently in their yellow flowering phase. Here three daisies: Podolepis, Triptilodiscus & Chrysocephalum

Today we went hunting #seeds in the #rainforest of Toonumbar NP & stumbled across these fully laden Croton acronychioides. Another key Global Trees Project target, it sure was a welcome find! #PlantBank #conservation #botany #VitalScience #science #ozplants

At first I thought it was a Christmas tree but turns out it was a Sarcopteryx stipata in #fruit, which have a cool green embryo in cross section, surrounded by an orange aril. #PlantBank #rainforests

Persicaria elatior (Tall Knotweed) may look weedy, but this lover of boggy ground is actually quite rare & listed as vulnerable. We found a good population in Toonumbar NP today, so scored a few more #seeds for #PlantBank! #conservation #SavingOurSpecies #VitalScience #botany

#EucGen19 conference at the TMAG 👌🏼

Hey Eucalyptus amplifolia, you shouldn’t be called the cabbage gum, y’all should be called the hedgehog gum cos of y’all’s bud-umbel orientations #redgums #Eucalyptus #eucbeaut

Sadly, many of these #paddocktrees are nearing the term of their natural life and there is little recruitment around them to replace them. Many are also suffering from dieback disease, or high loads of parasites and predators, due to their isolation from other healthy trees. 3/4

It's #competition time! Announcing the second annual #EucalyptoftheYear award! Tell us your favourite eucalypt and why in fifty words or less. Photos welcome, not essential! Tweet Eucalypt Australia - Archived #EucalyptoftheYear OR send us an email at [email protected] #EucBeaut!
