Two new derivatives of a recently-reported class of irregular diterpene have been discovered in New Zealand species of the Apiaceae family. 16-Acetoxyanisotomenoic acid (8) (3,3a,4,4-tetramethyl-3-{(Z)-5-acetoxy-4-methyl-3-pentenyl}-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-1H-2-indenecarboxylic acid) and anisotomene-1,12-diol (11) (3,3a,4,4-tetramethyl-3-(2-hydroxy-4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-1H-2-indenyl) methanol) have been obtained from the sub-alpine plants, Anisotome flexuosa and A. haastii respectively. 13 C nuclear magnetic esonance (n.m.r.) spectra of the anisotomene derivatives are complicated by line broadening. Molecular modelling of anisotomenoic acid (1) and anisotomenol (2) suggests that this is due to conformational exchange in the highly substituted bicyclo [4,3,0] non-1-ene ring system.

Kuschelysiusnew genus is described for four species, K. hollowayaenew species, K. durusnew species, K. verbalisnew species and K. nitensnew species, which are found in alpine regions along the length of the South Island of New Zealand. The genus most closely resembles members of the genus Eugnomus but is distinguished from them by the presence of a small pair of post-ocular tubercles and by having appressed scales on the dorsal surfaces. Some members of Kuschelysius appear to be flight-capable with well-developed hindwings, while others have reduced hindwings and are presumably flightless. Many specimens have been collected from the flowers of Dracophyllum traversii, Celmisia and other alpine plants, and the guts of examined specimens contained pollen. We hypothesise that the species of Kuschelysius are pollinators of the New Zealand alpine flora.

Botanic gardens hold diverse and valuable living collections that provide a number of research, conservation and education opportunities. Auckland Botanic Gardens (ABG) has an internationally significant collection of species and cultivar camellias that have been used for scientific research into understanding which species are susceptible to camellia petal blight. ABG has surveyed all cultivars and species in its collection over multiple years to identify which camellias are affected by petal blight and which avoid it, based on their flowering period. A total of 363 camellias were assessed for petal blight over 6 years of surveying. It was found that 245 cultivars and 6 species were susceptible to the disease, while 68 cultivars and 32 species did not display any visual symptoms. These are important findings, as enthusiasts and breeders alike may use them to inform their respective interests.

Distance Indicators

Our collaboration involves groups in Denmark, the U.S.A. Spain and of course New Zealand. Combining ground-based and satellite (IUEandHST) observations we aim to determine accurate and precise stellar fundamental parameters for the components of Magellanic Cloud Eclipsing Binaries as well as the distances to these systems and hence the parent galaxies themselves. This poster presents our latest progress.
