Grevillea ceata (PROTEACEAE) A NEW SPECIES FROM CENTRAL EASTERN GIPPSLAND VICTORIA

wM Molyneux PO Box 386 Yarra Glen Victoria 3775

ABSTRACT

~middot1olJ)eux v M Crelillea celata (Proteaceae) a new species from central eastern Gippsland Victoria Muelleria 8(3) 311-316 (1995)- Grcvilfea cclata is dcscribed and named and distinguished from G alpina Lindley and G chrysophaca F Mueller ex Meisner species with which it has been conshyfused by arious au thors Morphological varia tion affini tics ecology and conservation status are discussed

INTRODUCTION

Sevcral authors have noted the existence of a distinctive (jrcliflco in the Bruthen region assigning it to either G alpirw Lindley (eg Willis 197246) or to G cllIysophaca F 1ueller ex Meisner (eg cGillivray 1993 270-1 ) or to both taxa (Costcrmans 198 1 162 in circumscription and maps) The taxon has been informally known for some years as G sp nov Nowa Nowa from a nearby locality

The author has made observations of this taxon in the field since 197R observing especially its modes of regeneration and polymorphism in t10wer morphology and t10wer colour and in leaf shape and size These observations together with detailed measurements of live and herbarium material ol all three species arc detailed below and provide evidence for recognition of this taxon as a distinct species Some diagnostic features are not readily apparent from dried hershybarium specimens and their label data this difficulty probshyably underlies the uncertainty of diagnosis and assignmen t of this taxon in the past

Polymorphism within the taxon does exist with some apshyparently unstable character states it is possible that this species is of relatively recent hybrid origin The most typical form has red and yellow flowers and type material has been scleeted from a large population of this form as being the most representative

Definition of morphological characters and states follows that of McGillivray (1993)

SPECIMENS EXAMINED (6 CITED)

ETYMOLOGY

The specific epithet is from the Latin cclatus hidden or concealed within referring to the -previQus nfus ion of the taxon with both G alpina and G cllIysophaea

VARIATION

Flowercolour variation appears to be a feature of the species and is detailed under Flower Colour (below) all the colour variations there noted except the lemon-yellow occur in all populations surveyed The species also shows considshyerable variation ( especially as compared with its presumed closest relatives - sec under Affinities below) in flower size particularly in perianth width

FLOWERING PERIOD

Flowering has been observed from July to Decemher and in late January and in February

FLOWER COLOUR

Typically the perianth is red in the basal half shading to yellow from the eurve to the apex of the tepa Is and the style is green at the base shading to pink or cherry-red in the apical third with a green style-end Type material was selected as having flowers of this colour pattern as being the most representative of ( and apparently dominant in) all populations observed

Flower colour is however variable even within populations that appear to be wholly root-suckering and therefore probshyably clonal An example of the latter is the population (measshyuring c 40m 2) from which the Type material was selected within this population perianth colour may be red basally and yellow apically as above or (respectively) red and white pink and white or apricot and white A single plant with plain lemon-yellow perianths was found about 100m from

the Type population the only instance seen of this colour Style colour varies mainly in regard to the intensity and extent of reddish coloration in the apical third the lemonshyperianth variant has the style light green throughout

Variation of this scale in tlower colour is not uncommon in Grevillea and comparable variation has heen observed in the closely related species G alpino and in the less-closdy related G arenaria seIlS sir among others

AFFINITIES

From comparative morphology G cetala is apparently m()st closely related to G alpina and G clI)sopwca Tahle I indicates some key diagnostic character statcs tor the three species It is possihle that G celata is a rdatively rccent and partially stabiliscd product of hyhridization hetween thcse ll

species It is now geographically isolated from the nearest known occurrences of hoth heing c 120 km from (i alpin a (on the lower northern slopes of the Victorian Alps ahovc Mt Beauty where forming hybrid often root-suckering swarms with G lanigera) and c 70 km from C cllI)SUpW( (which appears to have its easterly limit in the area of Bullock I-kat Creek Road off the Dargo Road) G ceta ( allowing for the polymorphisms noted) hreeds true from seed

Note regarding the distribution of C chrysophaea

cGilJjvray (1 93271) mentions TallaroQk and Merton (IS

localities for that species however from both field work and an inspection of herbarium material this author suggests that it is G alpilla which occurs at these localities

Both these related taxa are variable for certain characters especially for flower colour in C alpina as well as perianth size and shape as it is in G clIysophaea In these two species variability of these characters tends to be between not within populations

Root-suckering is not reliably recorded in either C alpilla or G chrysophaea McGillivray s (1993270) reference tll occasional root-suckering in the latter species results trom his inclusion of G celaa within it and occasional reports of root-suckering in the former always appear to involvc hybridization or intergrading with G lanigera

DISTRIBUTION

Known only from Victoria from the Colquhoun Statc Forest in central eastern Gippsland east and southeast of Bruthen

HABITAT AND ECOLOGY

The species grows on orange-red capping siliceous sands of apparently Tertiary age with low humus levels and on and around small low-relief Dovonian-Silurian granite outcrops in granitic sand The species is apparently absent from the black high-humus Tertiary sands that often abut the preferred soils Not all granite outcrops in the area carry the species and it is apparently absent from more southerly outcrops of the same granite formation at lower altitudes these however are more fire-prone and heavily colonised by denser taller species such as Kunzea ericoides and PomadeTis spp

Known populations of G ceala range in elevation from 240 to 290 m as1

November 1997 5 Grevillea Study Group NO 4R

The forests in which Grevilleacelata is found are classifiable as dry sclerophyll with Eucalyptus and Acacia being the dominant genera Proteaceae is also well rcpresen ted and there is a broad undcrstorev of small to medium and groundshycovering selerophyllous plants by a number of gc~era

REPRODUCTION

Recent observations (Molyneux Sept and Oct 1993) of areas burnt the previous summer show new growth from root -suckers and this appears to be a common means of regeneration in all populations possibly as a selected reshysponse to high fire frequencies Mature fruits and seedlings are also not uncommon

Pollination is probably both ornithophilous (While-naped Honeyeatcrs Melilhreplus IUllallis Veillot were observed in

the vicinity) and entomophilous (numbers of unidentified native bees were seen)- The flowers produce copious neetar It seems probable that ant-mediated seed transport and hurial is significant for reproduction in the case of G celaa

CONSERVATION STATUS

Currently known populations are scattered thruugh and confined to Colquhoun Slate Forest The area is subject t() rotational logging and wild and controlled tires A conservation code of 2Vi is recommended following Briggs and Leigh (1989) meaning that the species is of restricted distribution with a total range of less than 1 00 kin should be considered vulnerable and is inadequately npresented in conservation reserve (since the Slate Forest is a multiple-usc regime with the possibility of significant disturbance)

The tour took longer than the proposed 20 minutes but almost without exception each group was attentive intershyested and keen to know more Groups varied from 5 to 25 people and includcd Welsh people who had never heard of a Grevillea before but were enthralled by my props of Bushmens Clothes Pegs and candelabras of G canshydelahroides To me the most pleasant group was some 20 visitors from the Friends of the a tional Botanic Gardens who I spoke to on a visit last year to ANBG in Canberra and urged to visit our Grevillea Garden (Beetwood) It was a great experience to face the public and has given me more confidence tor the future Study Group members Native Plants have been converted but I was pleasantly surprised at Queensland

ROPAGATIO The Great Grafting Debate by Richard Tomkin

Gin Gin Queensland Betorc ente ring into any form l) f debate 0 the suitability of Grcvillca robusta a a r o tstock I would love to bear from anyone who can advise me s Lo what is a tcn year scion and could they send me a list please

In ou r lalest catalogue - Jan uary 1997 - e list some 375 specIes cu[tivars and hybrids of which at least 50 u~e an interstoc k Why Becau~e it become - pre tty obvious that sciuns arc eith er compa tib or incompat ib le T he ones that drop o ff 12 mon Lhs la ter - yes that one Wilh a [1 the rootstock shoots - is either incompatible Or in my opinion batHy gra fted

Newsl tter 46 page 3 reported on a group vlsil to Fred and Joy McKews ell which P Ler Olde reported o n ca rly senesccnce and shoo ts fro m G robllsla rootsto ks In ewsshy[etter 47 page (j Mcrv Hodge rep a led Pett rs com ments but a[[owed that it appeared R ichard orn ki n had ove rshycome incurnpatihility problems hy u in a s ui table inshytcrstoc l-- fh ut th at it took too long to perfurm the two graft~ necessary

If the result is succe sfu l - long te rm - then I really don t mind that it took twice as long (prohahl 6()-)O scc shyuIlcb) Which hrings me to the real reason for writing (o the r than the I() yea r scions)

Shoots from G Robusta Rootstocks I laving u~ed G rohllsta exciusivd y for many ye ars exshyperi ence has led me tll believe tha t shoots will emerge from the rootstock when its p has nowhere to gu By this I mean that growth from below the graft can he expclled after

SPECIMENS EXAMINED (6 CITED)

ETYMOLOGY

The specific epithet is from the Latin cclatus hidden or concealed within referring to the -previQus nfus ion of the taxon with both G alpina and G cllIysophaea

VARIATION

Flowercolour variation appears to be a feature of the species and is detailed under Flower Colour (below) all the colour variations there noted except the lemon-yellow occur in all populations surveyed The species also shows considshyerable variation ( especially as compared with its presumed closest relatives - sec under Affinities below) in flower size particularly in perianth width

FLOWERING PERIOD

Flowering has been observed from July to Decemher and in late January and in February

FLOWER COLOUR

Typically the perianth is red in the basal half shading to yellow from the eurve to the apex of the tepa Is and the style is green at the base shading to pink or cherry-red in the apical third with a green style-end Type material was selected as having flowers of this colour pattern as being the most representative of ( and apparently dominant in) all populations observed

Flower colour is however variable even within populations that appear to be wholly root-suckering and therefore probshyably clonal An example of the latter is the population (measshyuring c 40m 2) from which the Type material was selected within this population perianth colour may be red basally and yellow apically as above or (respectively) red and white pink and white or apricot and white A single plant with plain lemon-yellow perianths was found about 100m from

the Type population the only instance seen of this colour Style colour varies mainly in regard to the intensity and extent of reddish coloration in the apical third the lemonshyperianth variant has the style light green throughout

Variation of this scale in tlower colour is not uncommon in Grevillea and comparable variation has heen observed in the closely related species G alpino and in the less-closdy related G arenaria seIlS sir among others

AFFINITIES

From comparative morphology G cetala is apparently m()st closely related to G alpina and G clI)sopwca Tahle I indicates some key diagnostic character statcs tor the three species It is possihle that G celata is a rdatively rccent and partially stabiliscd product of hyhridization hetween thcse ll

species It is now geographically isolated from the nearest known occurrences of hoth heing c 120 km from (i alpin a (on the lower northern slopes of the Victorian Alps ahovc Mt Beauty where forming hybrid often root-suckering swarms with G lanigera) and c 70 km from C cllI)SUpW( (which appears to have its easterly limit in the area of Bullock I-kat Creek Road off the Dargo Road) G ceta ( allowing for the polymorphisms noted) hreeds true from seed

Note regarding the distribution of C chrysophaea

cGilJjvray (1 93271) mentions TallaroQk and Merton (IS

localities for that species however from both field work and an inspection of herbarium material this author suggests that it is G alpilla which occurs at these localities

Both these related taxa are variable for certain characters especially for flower colour in C alpina as well as perianth size and shape as it is in G clIysophaea In these two species variability of these characters tends to be between not within populations

Root-suckering is not reliably recorded in either C alpilla or G chrysophaea McGillivray s (1993270) reference tll occasional root-suckering in the latter species results trom his inclusion of G celaa within it and occasional reports of root-suckering in the former always appear to involvc hybridization or intergrading with G lanigera

DISTRIBUTION

Known only from Victoria from the Colquhoun Statc Forest in central eastern Gippsland east and southeast of Bruthen

HABITAT AND ECOLOGY

The species grows on orange-red capping siliceous sands of apparently Tertiary age with low humus levels and on and around small low-relief Dovonian-Silurian granite outcrops in granitic sand The species is apparently absent from the black high-humus Tertiary sands that often abut the preferred soils Not all granite outcrops in the area carry the species and it is apparently absent from more southerly outcrops of the same granite formation at lower altitudes these however are more fire-prone and heavily colonised by denser taller species such as Kunzea ericoides and PomadeTis spp

Known populations of G ceala range in elevation from 240 to 290 m as1

November 1997 5 Grevillea Study Group NO 4R

The forests in which Grevilleacelata is found are classifiable as dry sclerophyll with Eucalyptus and Acacia being the dominant genera Proteaceae is also well rcpresen ted and there is a broad undcrstorev of small to medium and groundshycovering selerophyllous plants by a number of gc~era

REPRODUCTION

Recent observations (Molyneux Sept and Oct 1993) of areas burnt the previous summer show new growth from root -suckers and this appears to be a common means of regeneration in all populations possibly as a selected reshysponse to high fire frequencies Mature fruits and seedlings are also not uncommon

Pollination is probably both ornithophilous (While-naped Honeyeatcrs Melilhreplus IUllallis Veillot were observed in

the vicinity) and entomophilous (numbers of unidentified native bees were seen)- The flowers produce copious neetar It seems probable that ant-mediated seed transport and hurial is significant for reproduction in the case of G celaa

CONSERVATION STATUS

Currently known populations are scattered thruugh and confined to Colquhoun Slate Forest The area is subject t() rotational logging and wild and controlled tires A conservation code of 2Vi is recommended following Briggs and Leigh (1989) meaning that the species is of restricted distribution with a total range of less than 1 00 kin should be considered vulnerable and is inadequately npresented in conservation reserve (since the Slate Forest is a multiple-usc regime with the possibility of significant disturbance)
