2 unusual facts about Ulmus 'Australis'


Ulmus 'Australis'

Henry also mentions specimens growing in botanical gardens at Le Mans and Bordeaux, and others growing as far south as Spizza (now Sutomore) in Dalmatia (Montenegro).

Augustine Henry described lines of the trees along the Cours-la-Reine in Rouen planted in 1649 by the Duc de Longueville; several of which were still alive in 1912, having attained a height of about 28 m.


Amanita australis

Amanita australis mushrooms that have lost their warts and have had the colours faded may resemble another New Zealand species, A. nothofagi.

Amanita australis was first described by Greta Stevenson in 1962, based on specimens she collected in April 1954 around Lake Rotoiti in Nelson Lakes National Park, in New Zealand.

Amanita nothofagi

The mushroom may be confused with another New Zealand species, A. australis, but can be distinguished by certain characteristics.

Amanita nothofagi mushrooms can be confused with A. australis if the warts have been washed off and the colour has been bleached.

Australian angelshark

The Australian angelshark (Squatina australis) is a species of angel shark, family Squatinidae, found in the subtropical waters of southern Australia from Western Australia to New South Wales between latitudes 18°S and 41°S, at depths down to 255 m (840 ft).

The Blue-crowned Lorikeet (Vini australis) is a parrot found throughout the Samoa and Tonga islands and Lau archipelago, including: ʻAlofi, Fotuhaʻa, Fulago, Futuna, Haʻafeva, Niuafoʻou, Moce, Niuē, Ofu, Olosega, Sāmoa, Savaiʻi, Tafahi, Taʻu, Tofua, Tonga, Tungua, ʻUiha, ʻUpolu, Varoa, Vavaʻu, and Voleva.

Fiordland Penguin

The main prey species reported for Fiordland penguins are cephalopods (85%, mainly Arrow squid, Nototodarus sloanii), followed by crustaceans (13%, primarily Krill, Nyctiphanes australis) and fish (2%, mainly Red Cod and Hoki).

Flinders Bay

On Matthew Flinders Terra Australis Sheet 1 1801-1803 the area was originally known as Dangerous Bight.

Gippsland Lakes

The lakes are home to about 50 of the recently described species of Bottlenose dolphin, the Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis).

Great Saling

With a girth of 22 feet 6 inches and a height of 40 metres, the elm was identified by the botanist R. H. Richens as an Ulmus × hollandica hybrid, before it succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease in the 1970s.

Honeyberry

European nettle tree, (Celtis australis), a deciduous tree with edible dark purple, sweet berry-like fruit.

Jave la Grande

Java Minor was identified as an island (the present Island of Java) by the Franco-Portuguese navigator and cosmographer Jean Alfonse in his work of 1544, La Cosmographie but Java Major according to him was part of the continent of Terra Australis, which extended as far as the Antarctic Pole and the Strait of Magellan.

John Callander

In 1766–8 Callandar brought out in three volumes Terra Australis Cognita, or Voyages to the Southern Hemisphere during the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Centuries, partly translated from Charles de Brosses.

Monardella australis

Monardella australis is a species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common name southern monardella.

Musca Borealis

The Southern Fly, Musca Australis, is now simply known as Musca.

Phenacoleachiidae

Phenacoleachia zealandica is found on southern beech trees and Phenacoleachia australis is found on Pleurophyllum species, daisy-like plants in the Asteraceae family.

Platypterygius

The remains from Australia were originally called Ichthyosaurus australis.

Pseudechis

The most recognisable and widespread species in the genus are the Red-bellied Black Snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) and the Mulga Snake (King Brown) (Pseudechis australis).

Reef starfish

Found throughout New Zealand, S. australis is a keystone species in both the North and South Islands, playing an important role in mussel predation.

Terra Australis

In the early 1800s, British explorer Matthew Flinders had popularized the naming of Australia after Terra Australis, giving his rationale that there was "no probability" of finding any significant land mass anywhere more south than Australia.

Ulmus 'Atropurpurea'

The only other young specimen in Warriston Cemetery was inadvertently poisoned in 2013 during spraying of weed-killer to control invasive Himalayan Balsam.

Ulmus 'Christine Buisman'

elm disease (DED), Ophiostoma ulmi, which afflicted Europe's elms after the First World War.

Moderately resistant to Dutch elm disease (DED), but very prone to cankers caused by Coral Spot fungus Nectria cinnabarina as it lacked resistance mechanisms.

A large specimen planted in 1957 by Bernice Cronkhite in memory of Christine Buisman survives (2010) outside the Cronkhite Graduate Center, Harvard University, USA.

Ulmus 'Columella'

Clone FL 666 (Heybroek's 405* × 'Columella'), Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante, Florence.

Ulmus 'Homestead'

The cultivar arose from a 1970 crossing of the Siberian Elm Ulmus pumila (female parent) with the hybrid N 215 ('Commelin' × (U. pumila var. arborea × U. minor 'Hoersholmiensis')), the latter grown from seed sent in 1960 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison elm breeding team by Hans Heybroek of the De Dorschkamp Research Institute in the Netherlands.

Ulmus 'Lobel'

The tree is named for Matthias de L'obel, the Flemish botanist also commemorated by the genus Lobelia.

'Lobel' was introduced to North America in 1991 when Heybroek donated material to the North Central Regional PI Station, Iowa State University, but the tree is not known to have been commercially released there.

Ulmus 'Louis van Houtte'

The cultivar is named for the Belgian horticulturist and plant collector Louis Benoit van Houtte, 1810 - 1876.

Ulmus 'Marmorata'

'Marmorata' was described as "beautifully variegated with white"; the original tree in Destedter Park, Cremlingen, Lower Saxony, was said to have produced massive variegated suckers.

Ulmus 'Nana'

The low height of the tree should ensure that it avoids colonization by the Scolytus bark beetles and thus remain free of Dutch elm disease.

Ulmus 'Pitteurs Pendula'

However, Hans M. Heybroek, erstwhile head of the elm breeding programme at the de Dorschkamp Research Institute for Forestry & Landscape Planning at Wageningen, identified the tree as Zelkova × verschaffeltii.

Ulmus 'Rosehill'

The tree was later marketed by the Willis Nursery Co. of Ottawa, Kansas.

Ulmus 'Webbiana'

Two specimens are known to survive, one in the USA and the other in the UK, the latter treated as a hedging plant to avoid the attentions of the Scolytus beetles that act as vectors of Dutch elm disease.

Ulmus × androssowii

The hybrid has been widely planted in southern and western areas of the former Soviet Union, notably along the streets of Samarkand.

Ulmus × hollandica 'Cinerea'

Only one living specimen is known, at Wakehurst Place, England, where it survives by being treated as a hedging plant, too low to attract the attentions of the Scolytus beetles that act as vectors of Dutch elm disease.

Ulmus × hollandica 'Dampieri'

University of Copenhagen Botanic Garden, where it is also known by the common name of 'Krusbladet'.

Ulmus × hollandica 'Ypreau'

The word Ypreau or ypereau was first recorded in 1432 from the Pas-de-Calais area, and found its way into Cotgrave's French-English dictionary of 1611 as a name for a large-leafed elm, as distinct from the small-leaved types of Ulmus minor in northern France.
