Entheo Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 (here's something I wrote 10 years ago, before the Flora of Australia volume on Acacia's came out, but with the recent posts on Acacia's, I thought I would stick it up unedited)In the Subgenus Phyllodineae which is essentially an Australian subgenus with a few species (3) also found inSE Asia and the South Pacific but not found in Australia. It can be divided into several Sections of which it seems two closley related Sections, Juliflorae and Plurinerves as well as a recently described group which bridges the previous two Sections, the A. stigmatophylla Group are the most entheobotanically interesting. A while back it was estimated that there was 219 species in Section Juliflorae and 178 species in Section Plurinerves in Australia in 1987 (Maslin & Hnatiuk, 1987), since then there has been several more species desribed, some species separated into the A. stigmatophylla Group (Tindale, 1980) and there is also three species of Acacias in these two Sections that live outside of Australia and were not included in this count.Adding up phtyochemically known species of 10 in the Juliflorae with 3 of interest and 4 in the Plurinerves with 3 of interest (although one of those is only marginally of interest) leads to a figure of very approximatly 66 active species in the Juliflorae and 134 active species in the Plurinerves. With new species described the final figure could be slightly higher. Species in the other Sections could also be found to be of interest.Subgenus PhyllodineaeAcacias of the Juliflorae section, The flowers occuring as spikes rather than as balls, and phyllodes (looks like the leaves for non botanists, really a modified part of the leaf that attaches the leaf to the stem) pluriveined.

ferret Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Excuse my ignorance, what does lf mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycot Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 lf means the leaves(phyllodes) were tested, st means stems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
