Poison Plants Of Western Australia : The Toxic Species Of The Genera Gastrolobium And Oxylobium : Thick-Leaf Poison (Gastrolobium Crassifolium Benth.), Narrow-Leaf Poison (Gastrolobium Stenophyllum Turcz.), Mallet Poison (Gastrolobium Densifolium C.A. Gardn.), Wall-Flower Poison (Gastrolobium Grandifolorum F. Muell), T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS article deals with three species of Gastrolobium which are found in the south-west region of Western Australia. Two of these extend into the Eyre District, the third species is found in the Lake Grace area. The fourth species, Wall-flower poison, is the only toxic species of the genus found outside the State.
Calotropis Or Rubber Tree (Calctropis Procera (Linn.) Dryand), G R W Meadly
Calotropis Or Rubber Tree (Calctropis Procera (Linn.) Dryand), G R W Meadly
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TWO SPECIES of Calotropis have been introduced to the northern parts of Western Australia. They are closely related in most respects but differ in one fundamental feature which decides their significance as undesirable plants.
Cotton Bush (Asclepias Fruticosa L.) : Garden Plant Now A Noxious Weed, G R W Meadly
Cotton Bush (Asclepias Fruticosa L.) : Garden Plant Now A Noxious Weed, G R W Meadly
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE cotton bush is native to South Africa but is now naturalised in most tropical and sub-tropical countries of the world. Its spread is, in no small measure, due to being grown frequently as a garden subject.
Poison Plants Of Western Australia : The Toxic Species Of The Genera Gastrolobium And Oxylobium : Net-Leaf Poison (O. Racemosum (Turcz.) C.A. Gardn.), Brother-Brother (O. Tetragonophyllum E. Pritzel), Rigid-Leaf Poison (O. Rigidum C.A. Gardn.), Slender Poison (O. Heterophyllum (Turcz.) Benth.), Round-Leaf Poison (G. Pycnostachyum Benth.), T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS article deals with five toxic species, all of which are found in the Eyre district of the South-Western region of Western Australia.
Poison Plants Of Western Australia : The Toxic Species Of The Genera Gastrolobium And Oxylobium : Champion Bay Poison (G. Oxylobioides Benth.), Sandplain Poison (G. Microcarpum Meissn.), Cluster Poison (G. Bennettsianum C.A. Gardn.), Hutt River Poison (G. Propinquum C.A. Gardn.), Gilbernine Poison (G. Rotundifolium Meissn.), T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS article deals with five species of the genus Gastrolobium. The plants look rather similar so in the past have often been confused. They occur over a considerable area of the agricultural region of Western Australia.
Poison Plants Of Western Australia : The Toxic Species Of The Genera Gastrolobium And Oxylobium : Berry Poison (Gastrolobium Parvifolium Benth.) Spike Poison (Gastrolobium Glaucum C.A. Gardn.) Hook-Point Poison (Gastrolobium Hamulosum Meissn.) Scale-Leaf Poison (Gastrolobium Appressum C.A. Gardn.), T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
This article deals with four species which, apart from spike poison, may be distinguished by their small leaf size. Scale-leaf poison is found in the Irwin district, and the other three are present in the Avon district.
West Midlands Development : Poison Plants In The West Midlands, T E H Aplin
West Midlands Development : Poison Plants In The West Midlands, T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TOXIC plants have caused considerable economic loss to stock raisers since the early days of settlement in Western Australia.
Although much is now known of the toxic materials contained in such plants, and although most of the plants have been thoroughly publicised, losses are still occurring in many areas.
Poison Plants Of Western Australia : Crinkle-Leaf Poison (Gastrolobium Villosum Benth.), Runner Poison (G. Ovalifolium Henfr.), Horned Poison And Hill River Poison (G. Polystachyum Meissn.), Woolly Poison (G. Tomentosum C.A. Gardn.), T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS article deals with four toxic species of the genus Gastrolobium which are superficially similar to one other.
Two of these species are prostrate in habit; the other two are more upright but are generally short in stature.
Poison Plants Of Western Australia : The Toxic Species Of The Genera Gastrolobium And Oxylobium. 1. Characteristics Of The Group, T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE toxic species of the genera Gastrolobium and Oxylobium are a unique group of poison plants which have caused considerable economic loss to stock-raisers in Western Australia ever since the early days of settlement.
These plants are widely distributed over the agricultural areas of the south-west, and, with the opening up of large tracts of land for stock-raising, the danger is as high as it has even been.
Poison Plants Of Western Australia : The Toxic Species Of The Genera Gastrolobium And Oxylobium : York Road Poison And Box Poison, T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
YORK ROAD poison and box poison are two of the most important members of the group of poison plants belonging to the genera Gastrolobium and Oxylobium—the toxic pea-flowered plants.
Poison Plants Of Western Australia : The Toxic Species Of The Genera Gastrolobium And Oxylobium : Rock Poison (Gastrobolium Callistachys Meissn.), T E H Aplin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ROCK POISON, so called because it is commonly found on granitic soils, usually among granite rocks, occurs from the Irwin River, southwards to the Dale River and eastwards to Mount Stirling, south of Kellerberrin.

Robinia : The False Acacia, Robert Dunlop Royce
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
ROBINIA, the false acacia, is a tree up to 60 feet high, and is native to the eastern United States.
There it develops a trunk 3 or 4 feet in diameter and produces a hard close grained and durable timber.
In America it is known as black locust or simply as locust.
Stinkwort (Inula Graveolens Desf.), G R W Meadly
Stinkwort (Inula Graveolens Desf.), G R W Meadly
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE original home of stinkwort is the Mediterranean region, including northern France. Apparently the first Australian record was at Onkaparinga in South Australia about 90 years ago.
Efforts were made to keep it in bounds during the years immediately following introduction, but it continued to spread and is now f i r m ly established in all agricultural districts of South Australia.
It also covers large tracts of land in New South Wales and Victoria and occurs in most districts of Western Australia.
