i think you will find most brugs in melbourne to be cultivars and hard to key out, many are hybrids. if you need 6 species from the same genus, can only think of Solanum

lepista sublilacina?

no experience sorry, but just skimming over those abstracts i would be investigating options other than GA3 GA3 > delay flowering, decrease flower yield, reduce fruit size and # of viable seeds CPPU > precocious flowering

Likewise!

finally got a chance to go and visit my cactus garden i planted christmas 07. this heres a few of my favourites. not the best growth over two years I could imagine, they dont get any water other than the <300mm per year rainfall. oh yeh a couple of flowers out too got a few more ill put up next time

roseii, bridge, scop, pach peru's / macro's? cuzco? comments on ID welcome, I cant get my hands on ref's

mr. b, I can get some pollen to ya next week off this plant. macro / peru?

i recently got into fiddling with tissue culture, heres some Isotoma plants propagated via TC from seed collected near Alice Springs. pretty happy so far!

I think it's going well for my first project! Here's first plant after a month or so hardening off, tis setting up a few reproductive organs already . deflasked a few from the variegated line but they all crapped out in a few days. Any tips on deflasking variegated plants DL? i imagine they may require some nutritional support.. will get around to a lit search at some stage, TC project been on backburner for a couple weeks now due to less interesting committments few more on the way. The empty cells were variegated, and up the back are a few L. tupa.

They're hardening off well I think One seedling turned out to be variegated also similar results so far with Lobelia tupa im getting some hormone stock solutions this week, will be fun to start tweaking things a bit

excellent

a very simple "protocol" was used, in fact the plants shown above were grown in 1/2 MS media from all stages from seed germination to deflasking. I am doing some experiments with BAP to see if I can increase shoot multiplication.

Every single one of this dudes videos is going to be seriously fucking awesome.

just reading a different paper analysing leaves of small plants, found younger leaves had fairly low levels of methyl eugenol. (percentages from basal leaves (22% methyleugenol) to folded tip leaves(0.36)) Methyl eugenol 22.17 12.20 5.50 2.40 1.20 0.36 1,8-cineole 22.20 22.40 22.10 22.00 19.10 21.80 Linalool 6.25 11.05 17.53 21.24 21.45 24.01 Eugenol 5.51 8.68 10.12 11.28 10.41 13.33 also if anyone can find any Rf values for TLC'ing methyl eugenol for that would be ace

hell yeah thats a good lookin blewit. whereabouts in aus you find this?

looks similar to one of Mycot's Gymnopilus finds- "Mycot C". http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15030&page=2#entry256982 He also mentions no apparent bluing in post #28 of this thread http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=24661&page=2#entry303755

try searching journals for stuff like "bird pollination acacia victoria" or "mammal pollination banksia"

Pretty happy with how this 3.5 year old is going. Really wish I had've germinated more seed at the time! Germinated in native potting mix with a bit of propagating sand added, repotted thrice into straight commercial native potting mix. Was getting rather rootbound in its last pot, since repotting it has pumped out a shitload of new phyllodes.

hey frank, been seeing these a bit along train lines recently, I do beleive they're likely to be P. dubium

or Nauclea orientalis?
